Great Story about Devoted Dog

Read this people....very touching!

BRISTOL, Pa. - The family of a man who died last week said that when they went to a funeral home to make arrangements for him, they found one mourner already in attendance — a faithful dog.

Polo, a 3-year-old mix of German shepherd, chow chow and labrador, was often seen in the company of Ed Crossan, whose daughter, Donna, owns the dog. Crossan, 73, died after surgery last week.

On the day that Theresa Crossan was preparing to make funeral arrangements for her husband, someone let Polo out and no one could find him.

When the family arrived at the Wade Funeral Home about five blocks away, they found Polo pacing back and forth.

When Polo disappeared again the next day, Donna Crossan and her 10-year-old son, Brendon Lopez, knew just where to look.

"The first few times, we didn't see him," she said. "We decided to try one more time. Sure enough, when we drove into Wade's, Polo came running from the side of the house."

Brendon said he thinks Polo could smell his missing friend at the funeral home, and Dr. Eric Meihofer, a veterinarian, agrees.

"It was just a dog looking for his pal," he said. "It's an amazing story. It shows that the dog was very loyal and loving."

:( That makes me so sad to read that dear Polo is grieving for this loss. But it also reminds us that our dogs ARE devoted for life. :)

Wow... that brought tears!!!

That gives me the chills! How sweet.

Aw poor Polo :( . When my aunt, my mom's sister died, their Westie, Casey, had a hard time. He started peeing in the house and he didn't live very long after she passed. He was only 7 when he died. He had Addison's disease, but I think he died of a broken heart. My mom looks like my aunt and they wore the same perfume, Casey would perk up a lot when my mom was around :( Pups grieve just like humans do.
