Inspiring Story Of Man's Best Friend!

Argentinian dog stays by his master's grave for six years!

One Argentinian dog has spent the past six years proving he’s a man’s best friend, even though that man is dead.

Capitán, a mutt who is some parts German Shepard, disappeared from his home in the small town of Villa Carlos Paz in the center of Argentina following the death of his owner, Miguel Guzmán, in March of 2006.

Capitán found the cemetery by HIMSELF, says owner Miguel Guzmán’s widow, Verónica Moreno. The dog has his own schedule at the grave, too, laying down by his late master at 6 p.m. EVERY day.

“If he wants to stay there, it’s fine that he remains: he’s taking care of my dad,” he said.
