Grieving stray dogs attend funeral, pay respects to woman who fed local animals

Daughter shared photos on Facebook because "something marvellous happened"

For much of her life, Margarita Suarez fed and cared for stray dogs and cats in Merida Yucatan, Mexico.

"My mom has always been good with all animals and people," Suarez’s daughter, Patricia Urrutia, told ABC News. “Always fed the dogs on her block and the 20 stray cats that lived there.”

So it was appropriate, if not very surprising, that, at her funeral in Cuernavaca Morelos — about 830 miles away from her hometown — stray dogs came to pay their respects.

"When I was in a moment of so much pain these dogs that came, they showed me that everything was going to be okay," Urrutia told ABC News.

Perhaps most remarkable, the animals in attendance were not the same canines 71-year-old Suarez cared for over the years.

2. This is amazing. Beautiful, too.

Who knows how the dogs knew, but they knew.

The animals are evolving whereas mankind has stopped in my opinion. Kudos to Mrs. Suarez for caring for stray dogs, and obviously, the dogs felt like saying "thank you".

There are still some good people in the world, and my guess is, that dogs and cats can sense that about a person immediately!
