Hasn't occurred to you at all that perhaps they had separate lives and not communicating for a few days was normal for them? How deeply compassionate... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also possible that, if she did have a terminal illness, she deliberately withheld this information from friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else will always read something else into it..... And from what I read they were in Phuket not living in downtown Stockholm i.e. regular life, regular family etc. Next thing we will have someone saying that 'sis' had her taken out.

Here we have a piece about the 'faithful dog' and suddenly its all about the 'sister', the 'family', possibly 'this' and possibly 'that'. How many people missed their calling here of being gossips or detectives. How about the dog guys!! The dog did good here. You're always complaining about us now one of us does good its possibly this and possibly that. Where are you at!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOTIRIOS Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ........I don't like to hear 'they were probably sick.or ill..or had a medical condition..because pills or medication were found..and 'that's why they died'.... (...unless substantiated....all possibilities have to be considered......including...who might profit or benefit from the person's demise...)

bubblegum Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It all depends of what kind of dog it is, looking at the picture I think he/she is one of the kinder breeds unlike some members on this forum :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishhooks Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Great sister! Stays 'nearby' but doesn't notice her sister missing for 7-10 days.What an absolutely ridiculous nonsense reply, to a situation you know nothing about? Can you try to imagine, even for one minute, the grief the sister and perhaps other family may be going through.......and.......nothing to do with who lived where! Hang your head in shame!

Frank James Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 There's a lot of lip service given to the concept called "unconditional love", but dogs are better at it than people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad, of course, when anyone dies, but how did the "faithful dog" do "good" for goodness sake? What did it do? it's an animal that did nothing except stay in the place that it was, presumably, incarcerated in with it's late owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooloomooloo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ...they are the greatest animals... A bit too hairy for me and therefore predisposed to fleas. But, nice story and I like dogs, I just wouldn't own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyWitty Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Aside from the tragedy - The article's title is written a little "odd" to me. Maybe in PROPER English its fine BUT - dog and mistress don't go together so well in American-ese. (PS - Over here we say "owner" as in "pet owner" - caretaker or master would have also been ok.)

MTH Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Reading this story made me think of a great movie I saw a few years ago about a faithful dog, Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009). R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
