I discovered that some dogs really live like heroes.
Last year, Waiguo netizen Zach accidentally discovered the graveyard of the dog "Buddy" while walking in the park. The tombstone reads: Buddy 1928 – 1941 — Born as a dog, died as a gentleman
This aroused great interest in Zach. You must know that a hundred years ago, it was very rare for a dog to have its own tombstone and cemetery, and to have such praise. He began to look up the life of this dog, and then he was shocked...
There was a Boy Scout camp at that time. One day, a little boy accidentally drowned while swimming alone in the lake, but no one noticed. At the critical moment, Buddy, who was walking nearby, discovered his dangerous situation.
While barking to remind people, Buddy jumped into the lake desperately to save him. People finally discovered the problem and hurriedly worked together to rescue the little boy. But Buddy drowned because of lack of physical strength.
At that time, Buddy was already 13 years old and an old and frail dog. To this day, residents who were active in the Boy Scouts remember Buddy's story and believe it to be true. This is why it has its own cemetery. Unfortunately, there is no official record of this story, so the truth cannot be completely confirmed.
But when searching for information, Zach found newspapers from many years ago in the library. It read that Buddy was praised by his owner as a "beautiful Irish Setter." The owner also said that the reason why he was buried in this park is because he likes to walk there.
Obviously, Buddy’s owner loves him very much. Is there a possibility that it has a cemetery and high praise not because it is a hero, but simply because of the owner's love for it?
Buddy's life spanned the entire Great Depression (1929-1933). During those 14 hard and gloomy years, he silently accompanied his owner and became a rare comfort. So, maybe there's no particular reason, just because he's a warm dog.
This reminds me of the tombstone of a cat named "Dewey", which reads: "It's just a cat, but it's enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain."
But then again, no matter which reason, or both, this is a heartwarming story, isn't it?
