A story to warm our stone-cold hearts!
Who said only human know what is love
Yes, animals are more deluded because of their capacity of their physical body, but occasionally some of them might be able show us the love that we have forgotten on our 'busy road'. Just like this story.
this is real touching…
Hey, wake up! wake up!
A dog was knocked down by a car and died on the middle of the road. Later, another dog is seen beside the corpse of the dog, he tried to wake his friend up using his leg.
Let's move to the safer side of the road...i will move you to the safer side!
When his attempts to wake his friend failed, he tried to push his friend to the side of the road. But the weight of his friend was proven too heavy for him.
Anyone help, tell me what to do.
Though the traffic is busy and dangerous, he just will not go away from his friend. Just stand beside his friend howling and crying.
A lot of people saw this incident and feel very touched. How even a dog can show his loyalty and love to his friend.

This is just too cute! Go Heart-Kun! :) Thanks Cynthia for sending it!
And on a much sadder note: I heard that someone stole a beloved Lab dog from a little boy who had also just lost his home in the Fires here. :( People have put up a $500 reward to get the dog back to the little boy, no questions asked...

A Mongolian nomad family find themselves in disagreement when the oldest daughter, Nansal, finds a dog and brings it home. Believing that it is responsible for attacking his sheep, her father refuses to allow her to keep it. When it's time for the family to move on, Nansal must decide whether to defy her father and take her new friend with them. Oscar-nominated director Byambasuren's follow up to the hugely successful THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL is a thought provoking mix of documentary and drama that tells the story of the age-old bond between man and dog, a bond which experiences a new twist through the eternal cycle of reincarnation in Mongolia.
Vist WWW.CAVEOFTHEYELLOWDOG.COM for info. on when the film will be playing in your city.
A very engaging film by the director of
The Story of the Weeping Camel.
This little-seen film from Mongolia will captivate even the youngest viewer. An English dub track is available, so even pre-readers can watch it, without the need for Mummy or Daddy to read the subtitles. ^^
Think I'll put this one in the lineup for the Princesses...
Here's a symopsis:
Equal parts documentary, children's story, and narrative drama, Cave of the Yellow Dog
is a beautifully filmed adventure that the entire family will enjoy.
It's unique on many levels, the most notable being that the charismatic
family portrayed in the film are an actual family, and none of them are
professional actors. The eldest daughter (played by adorable Nansal
Batchuluun) appears to be about 6 or 7 years old. Her life is nothing
like that of an American first grader. She goes away to school,
returning home during the summers. Nansal cares for younger sister and
brother, telling them about how homes in big cities have toilets in the
house. She collects dried dung for the family's fire pit and helps her
mother cook. And when her father goes to town for a few days, it is
Nansal who takes over his chore of leading a herd of sheep to graze in
a fuller pasture miles from her home. Nansal is mature for her age, but
she is still a child who can't resist cute animals. So when she finds a
small black and white pup holed up in a cave, she adopts him and names
him Zochor (the Mongolian equivalent of Spot). Her father--worried that
the dog may have grown up feral with a pack of wolves--forbids her to
keep the puppy and the viewer is never certain whether Nansal and
Zochor will be able to remain together. What sets Cave of the Yellow Dog apart from films such as Lassie and Old Yeller
is the breathtaking buttes, vistas, and scenery showcased in the film.
Watching the apple-cheeked children squeal with laughter as they play
in front of their yurt--their collapsible and movable home--viewers get
the sense that they wouldn't choose any other life, even though theirs
seems filled with hardship for those of us accustomed to the comforts
of modern-day living. The Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film
Festival, this movie is heartwarming and pragmatic at the same time. --Jae-Ha Kim
No! It's not what you think... the 3 weiner dogs we have finally got their harness to allow all three to be walked at the same time. (They're are too silly to be walked with three leashes) :) Enjoy!
Speaking of brave George, what about all the dogs that are creating problems? I believe that the Dog Whisperer has many of the answers. His top three are: Excercise, Respect, and then affection. What the dog needs and wants, as opposed to what humans want from their pets... and lead to many behavioral problems.

I'd contribute to build a statue honoring him, like Hachiko has in Japan...

WELLINGTON (AFP) - Nine-year-old Jack Russell terrier George is being honoured with a posthumous bravery medal for saving five New Zealand children from an attack by two pitbulls.
The medal from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) comes after US Vietnam veteran Jerrell Hudman said he was sending his Purple Heart medal to George's owner after hearing of the dog's bravery.
George, who had a heart problem, won fame after defending five children from the pitbulls in the small North Island town of Manaia a week and a half ago. The two pitbulls rushed at the five children on the street, prompting George to charge the much larger dogs as the children escaped.
The Jack Russell was badly mauled by the two pitbulls and later had to be put down because of his extensive injuries. The two pitbulls were also put down.
The SPCA medal is usually awarded to people for their bravery in defending animals.
"George was a very brave little dog who almost certainly prevented severe injury, if not death, to at least one of the children," SPCA chief executive Robyn Kippenberger said.
"It's truly tragic that he paid with his own life for his instinctive act of courage."
Hudman, 58, of Austin, Texas was a US Marine for 30 years and said he decided to send his Purple Heart to George's owner Alan Gay after reading the news on the Internet because the dog was "a little warrior".
The Purple Heart is awarded to those killed or injured fighting for the US military.
Another magnificent dog story....
A Jack Russel Terrier
A plucky foot-high Jack Russell terrier named George saved five New Zealand children from two marauding pitbulls, but was so severely mauled in the fight he had to be destroyed, his owner said Wednesday.
George was playing with the group of children as they returned home from buying sweets at a neighborhood shop in the small North Island town of Manaia last Sunday when the two pitbulls appeared and lunged toward them, his owner Allan Gay said.
"George was brave — he took them on and he's not even a foot high," Gay told The Associated Press. "He jumped in on them, he tried to keep them off.
"If it wasn't for George, those kids would have copped it."
One of the children, Richard Rosewarne, 11, was quoted in the Taranaki Daily News on Wednesday as saying George fought with the pitbulls to keep them off his four-year-old brother, Darryl.
"George tried to protect us by barking and rushing at them, but they started to bite him — one on the head and the other on the back," Rosewarne said. "We ran off crying and some people saw what was happening and rescued George."
But George, aged 9, was so badly mauled that a veterinarian had to put him down, Gay said.
CHICAGO (Reuters) - If a dog is man's best friend, a disabled U.S. Air Force veteran showed the feeling is mutual by saving his drowning pet with mouth-to-snout resuscitation and CPR.
Lucy, a 10-month-old English bulldog, chased ducks into a partly frozen lake near Randy Gurchin's home in Papillion, Nebraska, but quickly became paralyzed in the icy water and briefly went under.
The 50-pound (23-kg) dog was unresponsive and had a blue face and bloody foam around its muzzle when Gurchin, who flew combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan, edged onto the ice.
"The ice started to crack under me. I just picked her up," he said. "I thought she was dead."
But Gurchin, 51, put his military first-aid training to use. He closed Lucy's mouth, put his mouth over her nose and started forcing air into her lungs and pushing on her chest.
Within minutes, the dog began breathing shallowly and was rushed to a nearby veterinarian.
Doctors soaked Lucy in warm water, injected steroids and muscle relaxants and put her in an oxygen chamber. She has since made a full recovery.
"Our little Lucy is back," said Gurchin's wife Kelley.
Her husband, who retired from the military with a back injury in 2005 and walks with a cane, has vowed not to let the dog out of his sight, she said.
"He would never say he loved her until this rescue mission," she said.
