Capitan keeps watch over Miguel Guzman's grave (La Voz) An extremely dedicated dog has continued to show its loyalty, keeping watch on its owner's grave six years after he passed away. Capitan, a German shepherd, reportedly ran away from home after its owner, Miguel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later, the Guzman family found the dog sitting by his grave in central Argentina. Miguel Guzman adopted Capitan in 2005 as a gift for his teenage son, Damian. And for the past six years, Capitan has continued to stand guard at Miguel's grave. The family says the dog rarely leaves the site. "We searched for him, but he had vanished," widow Veronica Guzman told LaVoz.com. "We thought he must have got run over and died. 'The following Sunday we went to the cemetery, and Damian recognized his pet. Capitan came up to us, barking and wailing as if he were crying." Adding to the unusual circumstances, Veronica says the family never brought Capitan to t...

A Letter from a Shelter Manager - anonymous in North Carolina I think our society needs a huge "Wake-up" call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you breeders/sellers should be made to work in the "back" of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would change your mind about breeding and selling to people you don't even know. That puppy you just sold will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore. So how would you feel if you knew that there's about a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it is going to be dumped at? Purebred or not! About 50% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays", that come into my shelter are purebred dogs. The most common excuses I hear are; 1. "We are mo...

Kiko is missing. I prefer to use the word 'missing' instead of dead. Maybe someone took her. I just hope that she's in a place where enough care is provided. We miss you a lot Kiko. Tiger is also missing. Well, it's hard to make an adult cat to adapt in a new home right. That's why she ran away too. Poor Tiger. I wonder where she is now. Ok. That's the bad news. Now we move on to the good news. Our Cotton gave birth to FIVE beautiful kittens on 23rd June! We are not sure of their genders yet. 4 of them are 3-coloured fur and 1 is grey in colour. It's so exciting to watch them grow up day to day. Their behavior and cuteness is so darn adorable. Behavior? Macam memerhatikan kelakuan ikan lah pula . Hahaha. That's what we did when we were conducting experiment for our Final Year Project. The 5 of them. Day 9. I really hope that all 5 of them will grow up to be healthy and happy cats. I wish they will bring joy, happiness and company to Darryl...
