Unfortunately, I know how devastating the grief after a pet dies can be. When you’ve spent so much time together it’s natural to mourn, almost the same way as if a human family member had died.And of course it works the other way too, when a dog loses their beloved owner. Dog Cesur lost his owner in January 2017. After being loyal companions for two years, 79 year old Mehmet Ilhan.
The loyal dog was completely heartbroken. Mehmet had died in hospital near their home in Bursa, Turkey. He had been paralysed for many years after a serious illness.
“Because of my father’s paralysis, they had a different kind of connection. When my father was in the hospital during his last days, Cesur stopped eating,” son Ali tells The Dodo.
When Mehmet’s body was brought home from the hospital, his loyal dog sat by his side the whole time, refusing to move. Cesur even led the way during the funeral procession on the way to the graveyard.
At the funeral, Cesar sat by the casket with his head bowed throughout the whole burial.
Cesur also kept watch when his owner was lowered into the ground.
After his owner’s death, Cesur lived with Ali, but it was obvious that the dog still missed his beloved owner.
After a few weeks, Ali heard that Cesur ran away from the house every day while Ali was at work.
One day he decided to stay home, to follow the dog and see where he was going.
Cesur had been going to the graveyard to see visit his owner’s grave every day. Ali even saw Cesur’s previous pawprints going to and from the grave.
Although no one knows if or when Cesur will recover from his grief, Ali will of course continue to take care of his dad’s dog.
“Cesur has always been a noble animal. He will live with me from now on,” Ali says.

Moving into a new home can feel both a little scary and exciting. Partly because it always takes some time to settle in and get used to your new surroundings, but also because you have no idea who your neighbors are.
Few moments in history and culture are as memorable as those characterized by a deep betrayal. From the bite of Brutus’ knife in Caesar’s back to the shock of Lando’s deal with Darth Vader, treachery hits hard. This story tops them all.
Adorable spotted kittens were found in a farmer’s barn. Many people living on farms have heard this scenario before. I know I have. We have two house cats that we’ve adopted that were orphaned in our barn before we even owned any cats. Most farmers can relate to this story. But these kittens were just a little bit different than your average house cat.
