Dogsey

I find it interesting that people have interpreted this behaviour as loyalty.

Could the explanation just be the dog was too traumatised to move?

Or would that not be so newsworthy?

Oh, bless her heart. I hope she finds a new home very soon and a new best friend.

Good luck, sweetheart xx

who says its not loyalty,
i have seen clips of dogs trying to drag another dog of the road so dont say dogs dont think like that

Bless her. I had a cat hit by a car and my other cat (his brother) was trying to paw him out the road, several of us witnessed it.

I sincerely hope she gets a forever home

Dogs can be loyal to other dogs, i'm sure yes the poor little girl is suffering from shock but i like to think this is an act of loyalty in itself that instead of shooting away she is lying with the other poor dog.

There are many stories from around the world of dogs acting out to save a companion - i read one story, when a dog was drowning in a river, and its companion jumped in, and dragged it to the bankside. - Now surely that's loyalty.

You have also got the recent tale of the two dogs found in Japan after the tsunami, one of the dogs refused to leave its injured companions side despite the efforts of relief workers. Again, i like to think it is loyalty.

We know dogs do not think like us humans, and we should not give them human emotions, but if we think again back to the wild wolf and how sick and injured wolves are sometimes cared for by the entire pack including the alphas. - That's also gotta be a tick in the loyalty box.

It's maybe a trait that not all dogs and wolves have. But some out there are very loyal and protective of one another and will guard each with their life.

I really hope and pray Grace finds a lovely forever home soon, to spoil her rotten. Poor little girl has been through enough.
