Stories like this just make me want to own a pet dog that will be loyal to me even when I am gone. They say dogs are man’s best friend and without gain saying, that assertion is as true as how long man and this carnivore have been friends.
This is the story of a German shepherd called ‘Capitan’ that ran away from home after the death of its Argentinian owner, Miguel Guzman in 2006. A week after Mr Guzman’s demise, his family went to pay their respects and found the heartbroken pet sitting by his grave, wailing.
‘The following Sunday we went to the cemetery and Damian recognised his pet. Capitan came up to us, barking and wailing, as if he were crying.’
She added: ‘We had never taken him to the cemetery so it is a mystery how he managed to find the place. We went back the next Sunday, and he was there again. This time, he followed us home and spent a bit of time with us, but then went back to the cemetery before it started getting dark. I don’t think he wanted to leave Miguel on his own at night.’
The cemetery’s director Hector Baccega remembers the day he first saw the dog.
He said: ‘He turned up here one day, all on his own, and started wandering all around the cemetery until he eventually found the tomb of his master. During the day he sometimes has a walk around the cemetery, but always rushes back to the grave. And every day, at six o’clock sharp, he lies down on top of the grave stays there all night.’
Mr Baccega said staff at the cemetery are now feeding and taking care of Capitan.
