Man's Best Friend

As someone once said,
"The more people I meet, the more I like my dog."

The reports and images coming out of the Brazilian floods are so tragic. This particular image, however, broke our heart in so many ways.

A dog has kept a 2 day vigil next to her owners grave.
You know, they really are our best friends.




"Leao, a medium-sized brown mutt, lies next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in the catastrophic landslides caused by heavy rain. This AFP/Getty picture was taken on Saturday, the second consecutive day that the dog refused to leave the woman's grave at the cemetery in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janiero."

We are praying for the men, women and children and animals of the flooded towns in Brazil...
