Oscar, an 18-month-old Lancashire heeler, missed Arthur, the family cat, so much after he died that the dog dug him up and brought him back into the house, according to the UK Web site TimesOnline.
When Oscar’s owner, Robert Bell of Great Manchester woke up the next morning, he discovered the dog curled up beside Arthur’s body in his basket.
The two pets had been constant companions, and Arthur watched over Oscar, Bell said. When Arthur died, Oscar was there as Bell buried his buddy in the garden.
During the middle of the night, Oscar had managed to get out of the cat door, dig up the cat and drag him inside. The dog then licked the cat clean before falling asleep next to his body.
“It must have taken him nearly all night,” Bell said about Oscar.
Arthur is now reburied in a secure grave, and the Bell’s have found Oscar a new friend … a kitten.
A good reason not to bury man's best friend (or its best friend) in your back yard!
