This post was deleted for the following reason: this is a huge disaster, maybe needs better than a behind-registration link and a few dog photos -- know your hearts's in the right place, but this isn't the post for this. -- jessamyn

Erm... a paywalled Journal site and a dog not leaving the grave? That's sad/adorable, but not the best primary FPP link.

Adopted by a family of Barra da Tijuca, the dog is not the only one to wait for the owner even after his death.

According to veterinary Andrea Lambert, a member of the Special Committee of Animal Protection of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) who rescued Caramel and other animals that were left homeless because of rain, stories like this are very common. – The pet has a lot of loyalty – he explains. – The owner ends up being the reference for everything.
