I often wonder whether dogs can recognize other siblings if they should
ever meet again. I guess this shows they can and do.They weren't
adopted till 5 months of age & I imagine they knew each other pretty well
by then. I'm so glad they did get together again.![]()

thats such a sweet story. The same kind of thing happened with my old dog. Years later we discovered that my dad's friends dog was Our dog's brother. Oddly enough both were named Max. However their Max started life rough. Poor fella was hit by a car the second or first day they got him, SO our dog's couldn't have play dates, as my dog was just too healthy & strong to play with his weaker smaller brother.
The Bitch's litter had 2 fathers, on differnt days (it was very odd)... My dog was younger, yet 2-3 times larger then his older long haired brother. His Brother lived to about 7ish. They had him PTS as he was in too much pain & couldn't walk any longer, due to the accident when he was a pup.
king, your story reminded me of somehting. I used to see a woman walking a dog that looked EXACTLY like Star - same colors, same shape, same head...so I stopped her one day and asked her where she got him - she told me and it turned out her dog was also from a litter by Star's parents! She brought him into our yard, and he & Star really hit it off. They looked SO much alike - and even had the same temperment & mannerisms. His name was Wiley (as in Wiley Coyote), and he was an inch or so taller, but they sure looked like siblings! He was a couple years younger than she is - she was the very first litter her mom & dad had together. I thought that was too cool!
I read that story in the paper this morning. Usually in a section about local fires and crimes and such. It was nice to see a good story.
Autumn and her brother are like that. Buster still lives two houses away. We don't see them much but today Autumn and Buster got to play a bit. It turns out that Buster's back legs are getting bad too. They're definately the twins of the litter.
