Well, I am a dog lover. I absolutely love dogs. They are so much more loyal then human beings in my oppinion. I get pretty used to seeing and hearing about people dying. Its fairly regular. When a dog dies though, i am so much more sympathetic because i sort of view them all as innocent. I was reading some stuff today, and all theese stories sort of made me want to cry. Dogs are such selfless creatures. They are symbols of loyalty and unconditional love. Check theese out.
Rags - A dog adopted by a soldier during WWI in france. He found it in a pile of rags, and trained it. It warned the soldiers of artillary attacks with its acute sense of hearing and even became the mascot of the 1st Division.

I swear, reading some of theese stories make me tear up. I love dogs so much. In Afghanistan we adopted many stray dogs that were friendly but we had to hide them from the higher ups or they would get killed. Eventually, the Seargent Major found Marley and she then died... Another sad story was this dog we had, we named her the XO (XO means executive officer) we tried to drop her off outside the cop when we were told to get rid of her but she kept coming back and... yeah.. we executed many dogs, and it was always so sad. .. But yeah if your a dog lover you would love those stories!
