Dog retrieves his best friend - a cat buried in the garden A pet dog missed the family's dead cat so much that he dug up his grave and brought the body back into the house. When Oscar's owners woke up the next morning they discovered the dog curled up beside Arthur, the late cat, in his basket. His owners, Robert Bell, 73, and his wife, Mavis, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, believe that the dog had licked the cat clean before falling asleep. Mr Bell said that the two pets were constant companions. Arthur, who was a large cat, used to help Oscar to climb on to the sofa. Oscar, an 18-month-old Lancashire Heeler, had watched Mr Bell dig a grave in the garden and then lower the cat into the hole.Mr Bell said: "He had managed to climb out through the cat flap in the night, obviously with the intent to get Arthur back. Bearing in mind that Arthur was a huge cat, Oscar must have used all the strength he could muster. "Then he pulled him into the basket and went to sleep next to him. Arthur's coat was gleaming white. Oscar had obviously licked him clean. It must have taken him nearly all night." Arthur is now reburied in a secure grave. And Oscar has a new playmate, a kitten called Limpet.

Just be careful when you tie your dogs up when nipping into the shop. I'd be gutted if someone did this to Madison http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2210539,00.html

Havent read the thread so... Sounds horrific but I dont think drowning is any more or less humane than lethal injection. As for the argument that puppies cant feel pain, well thats just horseshit right there...bloody lawyers If true that this guy contacted 8 agencies for help and they, including the RSPCA turned him away then they share part of any blame being thrown about. Desperate times, desperate measures. No-one helped so whats a guy to do?

Dont know why, but I find this one amusing
