After Brazil flooding, loyalty to the dead
As the death toll from devastating flooding in Brazil continues to rise, a single picture drives home the sense of loss.
Leao, a medium-sized brown mutt, lies next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in the catastrophic landslides caused by heavy rain. This AFP/Getty picture was taken on Saturday, the second consecutive day that the dog refused to leave the woman's grave at the cemetery in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janiero.
Brazilians are bracing for more rain, fearing more landslides after waves of muddy water swallowed towns in the country's worst flood disaster on record.
At least 655 deaths were reported in a mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, northeast of the city of Rio.
FULL STORY
The perfect answer to those who are mean to animals.
Heartbreaking. I hope someone takes that loyal dog in and loves her like the owner would have.
....I just gave my 7 month old golden a hug 🙂
This heart felt story of loyalty reminds me of a dog my sister and brother in-law acquired years ago from the home of their parish priest after he had passed away. Months after the priests funeral and buriel ,they went to viisit the out of town gravesite for the fiirst time and took their new dog Pat (named after St Patrick and the church the deceased priest had presided over) with them. The dog was let out of the car and he bollted right to the gravesite of the dead priest and started whimpering.. My sister and brother-in-law would have had to check around to find the gravesite if Pat the dog had not gone directly to it.
why dosent someone dig her up,ive heard of dogs returnig to graves when the person was not really dead
Now if only people would be as Loyal as that dog.! Makes me believe that the Animal is more human than most Humans.
You took the words right out of my mouth! We could learn a LOT from the animal kingdom. Loyalty, kindness, unconditional love...the list goes on and on.
Animals are BETTER than humans!
Animals are more human than humans
Human beings....worst. species. ever.
you gota problem with recycling duh?
duh – your dog's s**t is probably healthier to eat than much of the food at some fast food places.
My sentiments exactly. Peace. ♥
Pets are forever... Dogs know when you are sad, hurt or happy and their loyalty is something we should all strive for. There is a movie out called Haichi – For dog lovers, who know their dog "understands" them. Balled my eyes out – BUT what a movie.
Thats why I have more respect for animals than most humans.
The relationship I have had with all my dogs throughout my life I will cherish in my heart. I have treated my dogs as my friends, as well as my kids. Just the same as one might treat a 5 year old kid. I love them all so much. I get excited to open my door when I get home, as they will make me feel like a queen. My friends admire this in me. Dogs rule..... I feel so sorry for that dog.
Not all animals are this loyal. Trying living with baboons. They can be so cruel to each other. The loyalty of dogs for the alpha has been passed down from wolves.

They are more humane than us...
I wish my wife loved me and showed me half the compassion that my dogs do. They are all forgiving and don't complain constantly about every little meaningless thing.
Maybe you need to get another wife.
i 'M A VETERINARIAN AND SHE SAYS SHE WOULD TAKE ME FOR WHAT LITTLE 1 HAD IF WE DIVORCED AND i WOULD LOSE THE PRACTICE i'VE WORKED 25 YRS. TO BUILD. i'M SURE THE ONE SIDED LAWS WOULD GIVE HER EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH WE'VE ONLY BEEN MARRIED 6 YRS. MY FIRST AND ONLY MARRIAGE. DANG MY CAPS WAS LOCKED.
The book ALL should read is "Who Moved Mt Cheese" If you are in an unhappy relationship, spot in your life, unemployment, what have you, WHY?? WHAT are you waiting for?? No one is going to bring you cheese, you HAVE to go get it yourself
Then Jerry, OBVIOUSLY you need a better lawyer than she has.
Life is too short, cut her loose. You won't lose your business, that's ridiculous.
Plan ahead Jerry. Start hiding funds now. Plan your escape. The threat of insolvency is no reason to stay in a relationship. Are you happy?
plant a good looking guy to seduce your wife. then divorce her on the grounds of infidelity.
REally? Do you show HER the same? The love you take is equal to the love you make.
Jerry, buy a dog 🙂
Jerry, if you live in a community property state you may have to split your assets 50/50. You may have to pay alimony. Go seek the advice of a good civil attorney. Don't live in a loveless marriage. Life is too short...get out while you can and then perhaps re-evaluate your motivation towards relationships. Good Luck! PS...then get a Golden Retriever.
i 'M A VETERINARIAN AND SHE SAYS SHE WOULD TAKE ME FOR WHAT LITTLE 1 HAD IF WE DIVORCED AND i WOULD LOSE THE PRACTICE i'VE WORKED 25 YRS. TO BUILD.
If I were you I'd sleep with one eye open. Any spouse who says something like that is up to no good.
As for companionship, may I recommend a dog? A pooch will love you as much as you love him/her, will never take you for all s/he can get, and will never be judgmental or constantly complain.
Maybe you treat the dogs better than you do your wife. Think of all the compliments you give your dogs, how happy you are to see them, how you'd do anything for them, etc. Politically incorrect, but accurate anyway, 'don't blame the arrow.' It takes two to make it bad or good. You choose.
Jerry, After reading your comment I can see what she sees.You shouldnt air your dirty laundry for all to see. No marriage is perfect and no one person is perfect either. So instead of taking the time and energy to vent on here to complete strangers who are only hearing one side of the story, wont you try to work on your marriage or get the divorce so you will both be happy. You can always build up your practice again. If your good at it, it will not take you long at all. And no, I am not a divorced woman. I am happily married to a wonderful man of 17 years.
Jerry:
If you've had your practice for 25 years and only been married to your wife for 6 years, there is no way she can take your practice and she cannot get EVERYTHING! Please seek the advice of a good divorce attorney and move on.
Generally it takes two to make a bad marriage, but there are rotten people out there from both genders. Like other posters said, plan ahead, seek a good attorney, and get out.
Life is WAY to short to be miserable.
No Kwag, I give her everything, do housework, cook, feed her horses , take her on trips, constantly tell her how beautiful she is, give her foot and back rubs,etc etc, Maybe that's the reason she is so miserable. I guess women love rednecks who treat them like garbage.
I really don't think this is the proper place to work on Jerry's marriage problems.
Seriously...
Open an offshore corporation, and start sending monthly "advising fees" that way. Be sure to invoice yourself from offshore, to have all docs ready when the storm begins. Slowly drain all funds away. After a while you can either bankrupt your firm, or make zero income. Even if you get a divorce, she'll get 1/2 of nothing. Once the smoke clears and she remarries the next idiot, you open new practice with offshore funds. Easy? no, but better than wasting away the only 1 life we get pleasing that horrible wife of yours.
Stop your whining you little b!t@h and grow some balls.
Call me – We gotta talk.
Lock your dog in the trunk of your car for an hour and she will be so happy to see you when you let her out. Try that with your wife!
My sissy feels the same way Jerry. Her dogs are her everything. She says she'd rather spend time with those dogs then any man. I think you two might make the perfect match! She's out there Jerry. Don't give up hope!
This picture breaks my heart.....
Agreed...
Yes it does.
Mine, too. I'm trying not to cry because I'm at work.
Very sad, heart breaking.
I agree 🙁
I love dogs! I watched some footage of a Brazilian woman being rescued from on top of a roof, desperately clinging to her medium sized dog. The floodwaters were flowing like rapids. As she was being pulled off the roof she lost her grip on the dog. My heart broke as I watched her dog wash away. This picture of "Leao" breaks my heart even more. So many people and animals lost in these floods.
To all of the animal lovers on here, rent the movie 'Hachi' w/ Richard Gere. Talk about loyalty, and its based on a true story. Very touching movie.
I saw the movie "Hatchi". It was so moving. I couldn't stop crying.
I saw that piece of film too. I was in tears. She tried so hard to hold on to that little dog.
I saw "Hachi" as well. Love it and I saw it way before it became popular. Not all great films are show in theaters.
It does provide proof to people that believe dogs and cats don't have feelings.
This dog probably doesn't understand what is going on..or why his/her Mom has died...but the dog realizes that he/she that his/her Mom has died...and the dog has nowhere else to go but stay with his/her Mom. And will probably be sad the remaining years of the dog's life.
Don't lump dogs and cats into the same category. Dogs show emotion, house-cats have no feelings...and smell terrible.
This picture just makes my eyes tear up. What a loyal creature; Mans Best Friend.
I saw a quote some time ago.. ...... I hope to become as good of a person as my dog believes I already am. All of the phsyc doctors and all of their education and studies combined can not help a person more than a dogs love.
or a cat's love. I'm not a dog fan, but I do like them. But, over the years, my various cats have saved my life twice (gas leak and earthquake), loved me no matter what, given me incredible joy and hilarious memories and are quite happy to just stay next to me. The picture of this dog is the epitome of how we should treat each other. Unconditional love and a desire to please. We get what we give. The owner clearly gave her puppy everything.
People on here just need to shut up already. This is a touching photo and the situation in Brazil is both tragic and sad for the humans and the pets.
What happened in Brazil is a terrible tragedy with so many human lives lost in the landslides, but I don't know if you notice, the focus of the story is about Leao the dog loyalty to her owner, loyalty is a trait reserved for humans, and your lack of compassion and understanding is appalling.
Tragic for mostly pets. People choose to live where they live, not the pets
So heartbreaking.... :*(***
I would trust a dog before any human being. Those who dislike dogs are weird. I distance myself from such people.
Me too!
I totally agree with you, Steve. If a person has no compassion for animals, you can be sure those people are not the kind you want in your life.
I've always been a little afraid of people who didn't like animals.
So I'm guessing that those kinds of people also include most muslims
I agree. In my opinion, if someone doesn't like animals, then they have no compassion.
