The most loyal hound ever?
A heartbroken dog whose owner died two months ago is missing her so much he is attending services at the Italian church where her funeral was held patiently waiting for her to return.
Loyal Tommy, a seven-year-old German Shepherd, belonged to Maria Margherita Lochi, 57, and had been her faithful companion after she adopted him when she found him abandoned in fields close to her home.
Mrs Lochi adopted several strays she found but friends said she developed a particular close affection for Tommy and would walk to church with him from her home every day – where the priest would allow him to sit patiently by her feet.

I f’en balled like a little baby because of that Futurama episode. Most depressing cartoon ever.

Sad.
Reminds me of this Japanese dog who continued a routine of going to the train station to meet his owner years after the owner died:

Sheps ain’t hounds.

Dogs are such wonderful creatures.

The priest should adopt him as a parish dog.

There is a reason the word dog is God spelled backwards…

All dogs go to Heaven.

Never trust somebody who doesn’t like dogs.
The thing with dogs is that you cannot fool one.
They take one sniff of you and know exactly what you’re all about.

If our government had the intelligence and loyalty of dogs, we would have far fewer problems and a bunch of bureaucrats that would love to play “Fetch!”

May have to go home early just to hug mine.
Dogs are always honest.
