An extremely dedicated dog has continued to show its loyalty, keeping watch on its owner's grave six years after he passed away. Capitan, a German shepherd, reportedly ran away from home after its owner, Miguel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later, the Guzman family found the dog sitting by his grave in central Argentina.

Dog stands guard over deceased owner

I really don't know what to say other than I hope they bury this dog next to his owner. Another incredible story of man's best friend.

That's like a loyal dog.

Who said dogs can't live like in outdoors. Look at him, he is living in the graveyard. So, whatever!

That's what you took away from this. Seriously? Sunset - I would gently remind you - pay attention! That's not what the story is about!

The love of this dog surpasses human understanding...how did he know? How did he find the grave? I'm in awe. And in tears...

I would hope that he has a place to stay in bad weather. Apparently the cemetery staff are looking after him.

When I traveled for business, Jake, my second GSD, would sleep at the top of the steps to the front door and would eat very little. After my third day gone, my wife would coax him to eat more and get him to the bedroom where he normally slept. I remember on one trip, it was almost as if he cried when I came home. While all of our pets have been family pets, he was more my dog and most loyal to me. I do miss him.

Speechless, truly. How can anyone read that poignant and wonderful article and end up with such a comment?
