It is poignant and quite sad. It made me think of the video of the soldier who returned home to his great dane that was going around the last couple weeks. I have to admit I teared up. God rest the young mans soul and as trite as it may sound, I wish his doggy the best also. A WWI veteran I knew had a mix breed of some sort, but when he died out in the desert, his dog layed next to him for over a day until his wife found his body. The little guy never ate or drank again and died a week later. His wife had them buried together.
