This WILL MOVE YOU. Must see! (get out your tissues)




For the past 6 years, a German shepherd called Capitán has slept next to the grave of his owner every night at 6 pm.

His owner, Miguel Guzmán died in 2006. Capitán, the dog, disappeared while the family attended the funeral services. A week later relatives of Guzmán were visiting the cemetery when they were astounded to find the dog next to the owner's grave.

The cemetery director says that the dog comes around each night at 6 pm, and has done so for the past 6 years!

However, the last time this story came around, the dog was black with light patches.

The story's real! There were just questions about the dogs color. It either got whiter with age or the FB pic was off, either way -no worries just a lovely and heartbreaking story.

we have an Austrailian Shepard. when we brought her home she was solid red. She is now in the process of "ticking out" which means she is getting white spots through her coat. The older she gets the more white she will have in her coat.
