Faithful Dog Refuses to Leave Graveside of Owner Who Died Six Years Ago



Capitán, a German shepherd dog, from the Argentinian town of Villa Carlos Paz Cordoba, has chosen to remain by his deceased owner’s graveside for the last six years, proves an animal’s love and loyalty transcend the boundaries of life and death. Although he still has a family to go back to, the canine simply refuses to leave his master’s side.


The man’s wife told La Voz that Capitán disappeared from their home soon after her husband died, and after searching for him, she and her son believed he was either killed by a car or adopted by another family. But when they went to visit her husband at the cemetery, there was Capitán. They couldn’t explain how he had managed to locate the right grave, but there he was, by his master’s graveside.
