I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Damn bro you cry easy
Bro that dog sacrificed itself to horrors it barely understood in order to save the life of an infant, and you’re just gonna proudly announce you’re dead inside.
Love you. Thank you for your service
I have a toddler, and a 14 year old dog I’ve had since she was a puppy. She doesn’t like kids. She doesn’t like my kid. But if he wanders off, she keeps an eye on him. I have a few acres of land, and now that he’s 2, my boy can actually get lost. I’ve learned that if we lose track of him, we don’t call for him, we call the dog. She comes to us when called, knows where he is, and will lead us there.
The fuck? Pay attention to your 2 year old lol.
Right? Why the fuck is this getting upvoted? Don’t let a toddler wander off alone, certainly not on 2 acres of land where you can easily lose them. Jesus Christ…
How else are we supposed to get those “feel good” stories about a kid lost in the woods with their loyal dog?
Ok helicopter parent.
In the dictionary, there needs to be a picture of Charlie next to the word “brave”.
My sister’s dog, a cross-breed even tinier than a chihuahua, is absolutely terrified of me when I travel to visit them.
I’m a dog person but I cannot get 100 ft close to this thing.
The exception, of course, is when I kiss the nephews goodbye. She bites my ankles and shoes madly, she won’t have none of it.
This kind of stuff makes you a dog person for life
My dogs are lil butt heads and instead bark at everyone, but they cute.
This kind of stuff makes you a dog person for life
And the moment it defecates in your house it makes you a pet-free person for life
Eh they look at you all cute and gives you kisses and you start to overlook that. If that is a common thing, then that’s a training issue. My dogs will scratch at the back door asking to be let outside when they have to go. That’s like saying you become child-free once you have to change a diaper.
We’ve adopted 2 dogs and a cat that the previous owners claimed had toilet issues. All 3 three of them cleared up almost instantly upon moving in with us. 1 of the dogs in particular would do everything he could not to piss/shit in the house (when we first got him he had a digestive problem from holding it in too long when the previous owners didn’t let him out). This experience has led me to believe most of these problems come from neglect and are not the animals fault.
one inside poop is enough to make you pet-free? I agree pets aren’t for you. Puppies pee and poop countless times indoor while you are training them
Very good example of overcoming fears.
brave comrade doggo
To them a vacuum is probably a soul sucking machine that traps the scents of the people he loves into an invisible void.
a far more tragic version of this story is in the Mabinogion
We’ll never forget you Cu Chulainn!
I had a cat that I’ll never forget for what it did for me. It was a Persian and was getting on in years; it suffered dementia so severe it would freely defecate everywhere. It didn’t even know how to bury its own poop. The kindest thing it ever did for me was die.
