That they have no Soul even though it takes Soul to know how to love. Who still believes Pit Bulls can only kill and not love, not be compassionate creatures? Maybe you feel this male was only acting on instinct. Maybe the dog is not really grieving?
Grieving’ dog refused to leave dead dog’s side
A heartbreaking photo of a male pit bull refusing to leave the side of a female pit bull that lay dead on the side of a Phoenix road is making the rounds on Facebook.
According to Fox's Phoenix affiliate, the female pit bull appeared to have been struck by a car on Friday. The male pit bull stayed by her side for more than 14 hours.
"The male pit bull wouldn't leave her, so a nearby business set out food and water," Fox 10 reported. "He stayed with her nuzzling her and lying nearby until the city came to remove her Saturday morning."
The dogs did not have owner tags when they were found.
"We picked up this other dog and took him to our East Valley shelter," Rodrigo Silva, an animal control official, told the station. "Right now it doesn't look like he has any behavioral or health problems."
Silva added that the dog is "a little withdrawn and appears to be very sad."
"If he continues to show these signs of withdrawal we will place him in a recovery home that can help him with his grieving," Silva told the Daily Mail.
"I am so pissed about this," Karyn Aspan, who saw the photo on Facebook, wrote on her wall. "Animal control responded 14.5 hours later."
Aspan, who lives in Chicago, told Fox 10 she called the Phoenix mayor's office to complain, andlaunched a Facebook campaign to find a home for the dog.
"I was so outraged," she said.

Animals have a beautiful soul and they love unconditionally. This really breaks my heart to see him grieve over the death of his companion. I do hope he finds a good home with someone who loves him and gives him a new life.

I'd take him in now if I could, but Pitbulls are banned in the UK!
Thanks for making me cry Colleen.

Of course Animals love! They have beautiful souls, are sentimental and very sensitive!!! And it is human stupidity to mark a breed as bad or dangerous!!!!! Shoot, sharks have been marked like this for eons. And this is the Absolute truth- I stood on a wild shark while it swam- everybody was freaking out except me...I knew I was fine! When the shark stopped again I swam away. No problem. It was one of the coolest things that has happened to me- and it was by accident (at first).

I have seen fish do this and ducks do this. I know for certain that I have had animals that have loved me as much as I have loved them.
Human beings are not the only creatures that can feel love. We are the only creatures that can completely mess it up.

That pic of dog with its dead friend , brought tears to my eyes, as I am sure it would, to any animal lover. Of course animals can Love, just check out some of animal video sites, see how they interact with each other, some also with birds for friends. Give an animal love, and you will get it back unconditional.

Animals give the best love of all "unconditional love" they are loyal , the only silly dog is an untrained dog.
My sister has a pitbull when she brought it she was told it was a Staffy but we can tell its a pitbull, it is well trained. Although we really do not know the temperment of the mother and father we know that she has put in all efforts to train this animal.
Sadly some dogs get a bad wrap not just Pit bull, the dogs that bite the most are Lab's because there are more Labs out there , but we hear more of Pit Bull attacks.
Dogs love back I know this I have 3 Weimaraners and they give me loyality, unconditional love , they even hug me :) ...
All dogs need is training and a loving environment and they will return that 3 fold...
That post made me cry .. Dogs are for life ...
This reminds me of my Weimaraner licking the lips of my dead Boxer :( and for months she would go looking for him, if I play a video she watches him on the TV ... they know they love :)

This entire thread is magnificent! All the stories
are so touching. It just goes to show how truly
wonderful these creatures are. The video of the
elephants reunited after twenty years...the tears
were just streaming down my cheeks. Elephants
have always touched my heart. I can't explain why...
they are just so magnificent and majestic and have
hearts to match their wonderous size. I'm so glad this
thread was brought back to the top because I missed
it the first time around. Thank you.

I think that a loyal dog actually loves his owner. And animals instinctively bond and this is a form of love. So our vision of human love, and other animal love may have to be altered, however, with that I feel animals do love!

I think animals love better than humans and I think it's more than just bonding.

I believe dogs can most certainly love - and would never say they have no soul - there is a lot of reserch on this concerning all animals. Animals in my opinion are just amazing many looking after their young with such love care protection and affection. I think the problem is Homo Sapiens think they are superior to animals - science tells us otherwise - there is no evidence for this especially regarding DNA etc. Their companionship, caring are seen to be so beneficial to the elderly in Homes even in Prisons and how brilliant are the blind dogs.Like Homo Sapiens they are I feel only vicious in reponse to ill treatment but there loyalty an comfort is far greater more often that the Human Being. There was a dog recently who was left in afghanistan belonged to a guy who was killed and I believe found by his friend and brought back and for days and days he sat by his grave. They are among the unsung heros of wars. Like the horses were/are. Years ago I read a book on this by a very famous Autrian psychologist - of not with the up to date science - I must look it out.
Colleen - I do so hope your are OK what an ordeal it must be for you - I am so hoping there will be very few fatalaties and things get better. You have all had too much of this kind of tragedy just so awful. Do take very good care of yourself - What is good everyone seems to be pulling together and helping each other. LOL and thinking of all the people involed in this so sad.
