Healthy Dog Buried With Owner
Posted: Mar 5, 2010
Do you believe this, some guy in Arkansas died and his last wish was to have his 2-year-old dog put to sleep to be buried with him, and his family did it. Uneblievable.
;
he must have had a reason for this, maybe his family did not like the dog - dog

Dogs - Happy MT Robin
[ In Reply To ..]Sad to say, but to some people, dogs are things or possessions. A friend of my mom's was dying a number of years ago and she had an older dog and a younger dog and they did the same thing. I desperately wanted to take the dogs, but was actually living with my mom at the time and it was her house and she said no. The older dog had health problems and the younger dog apparently was intractable without the older dog. It was a sad situation.
It may in the long run have ended up better for the dog. If they couldn't find a home for him, he possibly would have ended up on in a shelter and then having a not so terrific existence and then still being killed. It's just sad all the way around.
not unbelievable; human/pet bond; should be more like it. - n/m

Step dad wanted the same - trained to be obnoxious
[ In Reply To ..]My step dad was a jerk, and he trained his dog to be a bigger jerk. If there was any obnoxious habit he could think of, he encouraged it. He trained the dog to sit under the table and bark during meal times to get fed off people's plates. He'd actually feed it soup with his own spoon under that table! Needless to say, the carpet under the table was NASTY, but he insisted it needed to remain there. We all despised his dog and its obnoxious ways, and that tickled him pink, he'd laugh and say the dog would need to be buried with him because nobody would "love it" the way he did. When he died mom kept the dog for a few years, and it had to unlearn a lot of habits - but the dog realized that nobody WOULD "love it" his way, and adapted eventually.
That is really sad. Perhaps he felt the dog wouldn't be properly cared for. - deb
[ In Reply To ..]I have told my family that when I am buried, I want my dog's ashes buried with me (he died in 2008). But I can't imagine asking that a living dog be killed, just to be buried with me.
perhaps it was a comfort for him to know - he would not be alone
[ In Reply To ..]Humans are frail.
I would be shocked that a vet would do this, however.
dog buried with owner - tired metatarsal
[ In Reply To ..]You don't know the circumstances. I have a dog who is very healthy and loving, but is scared to death to go outside the yard, in the car, scared of people. As long as she is here with me and my other dog she is perfectly fine. If I died and had made no other arrangements, she would end up in a shelter and be put to sleep because she is not adoptable. This might have been the situation in this case as well, could be the best thing for the dog in the long run.

Is This A Punishment Or A Healthy Thing?May 01, 2012
I have 3 grown kids in their 30s and one is 40. Two of them can't seem to remember my birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. Once in a while they may call late in the day, or text at 10:40 p.m. on my birthday, but often nothing is acknowledged or done. There have been occasions where I get a card and once or twice a gift, but not usually. One child does routinely send a card but never a gift. They are all professionals and fairly well off. So there I am on all their birthdays and a ...

Chik-Fil-A Owner Pays Employees During A 5-month ShutdownAug 16, 2015

Jeff Glover, who has operated the Chick-fil-A for 15 years, wanted to remodel the building to accommodate more customers, but didn’t want to hurt his workers. So he continued paying them for the full five months. The restaurant, which reopened this week at West Braker Lane and U.S. 183, is now the largest Chick-fil-A in Austin–and surely the chicken retailer ...
