Man's Best Friend

It is true what they say, a dog truly is a man's best friend. This just proves that a dog's probably have more loyalty than everyone combined in this world. I'm seeing a dog sitting next to his long dead owner. Well, I'm assuming it is the dog's owner because a dog wouldn't sit next to a random person's grave for no apparent reason, so it has to be someone special to the dog, most likely his owner. The dog isn't dumb nor ignorant, I am pretty sure that he knows his owner is dead but he just refuses to leave his side even if his owner is dead. This isn't the first time I have seen this happen, I've seen this happen plenty of times. A similar situation to this has happen before. I've saw a video that a dog was laying next to his owner's corpse and when the time came for the corpse to be taking away, the dog just wouldn't let go of his owner's clothes, he kept a tight grip on it with his teeth. Sadly, the corpse had to be taking away and the dog attempted to find a way to be next to his owner again but he couldn't, his owner was being taking away because he was dead. It was a heartbreaking video for me to watch since I am such a big fan of dogs. Dogs are extremely loyal and their owners are incredibly benign to them, they are the real deal, a true man's best friend.

It appears that this dog's name is Leao and he is sitting next to his owner's grave for the second day in a row. Leao's owner was killed in the disastrous landslides near the Rio de Janiero on January 15, 2011. Rio de Janiero is the capital city of the state of Rio de Janiero in Brazil. This city is said to be the second largest city in Brazil. In January 2011, the Rio de Janiero had a series of floods and mudslides that killed plenty of people. Sadly, Leao's owner fell victim to these natural disasters that always occur in our world. This natural disaster left Leao without a home and an owner. Poor Leao, I can't imagine the confusion and pain this poor dog must have felt at first. Since Leao has no home or owner, he has nowhere to go to. His extreme loyalty just leads him right next to his owner's grave. Most dogs probably will do this if they were in Leao's situation. Most dogs would probably do this mainly because they are the definition of loyalty. It is said that 903 people died in this natural disaster and a very similar disaster occurred in 1967 that killed 1,700 people. 1,700 people, that is a huge number of people. At that time I am sure that a dog of some sort must have lost his owner and probably just wandered right next to his owner's grave or maybe even corpse, dogs are just like that. Similar situations always occurs throughout the world and history, so I am sure that Leao's is not the only dog that has lost his home along with his owner. That is just how life is.

Now, plenty of things can happen to Leao right now in this picture. Someone else can probably adopt him and Leao would probably be happy and will go with his new owner, who knows. On the other hand, someone might want to adopt him but since Leao is a dog and dogs are very loyal, he might just choose to sit next to the grave of his true owner. Dogs are unpredictable at times. One good prediction is that someone will just help Leao and bring Leao some food and water while Leao just sits there next to his dead owner. This person might just sit out there with Leao too so Leao can feel comfortable. Eventually Leao will feel comfortable enough with this new person and he will probably go along with this new person as his new owner. This situation makes more sense to me because someone is bound to help this dog sooner or later. The dog will probably sit there for days and days remembering his owner and he would not care about himself a lot. Some dogs cannot take care of themselves very easily, that is why they need owners. Dogs are loyal creatures and have incredible memories so it will not be easy for the dog to leave his owner's side.

In the end, dogs truly are man's best friend through my eyes. This dog just proves that saying by laying down next to his dead owner for two days in a row, that is simply amazing. That is just another level of loyalty that most humans won't reach anytime soon. I have never heard of a person sitting down to one of their loved one's grave for two days in a row. Sure they may visit their loved ones grave every now and then but to simply just sit by someone's grave for two days straight is just astonishing. Leao probably is not even done staying by his owner's side, he is probably going to continue this for days for all we know. With Leao's level of loyalty, it is very possible that he might do that. I would not be able to do that, I do not know why. I do not think that it is in human nature to be that loyal, but hey, I can be wrong, everyone is different in this world. Many astonishing events occur in this world, anything is possible in this world. However, no one will ever replace a dog's role as man's best friend. Nevertheless, not all dogs are the same, but there is one thing every dogs shares personality wise, that is their ability to be extremely loyal. This pictures just proves everything on what I have said. A dog is the the only creature on earth that loves you more than they love themselves  Dogs are man's best friend and they are one of the most loyal creatures in this world. Leao is a fine example of one of them, I hope that he is still living well with a new owner.
