Dog guards owner’s body for several weeks after he commits suicide
…touching story of how loyal and dedicated dogs are:
Authorities in Colorado say a dog stood guard over its owner’s body for up to six weeks after the man committed suicide on a remote plain.
The body of 25-year-old Jake Baysinger of La Salle was found Sunday on the Pawnee National Grasslands, about 120 kilometres northeast of Denver.
Cash, his German shepherd, was found beside him, thin and dehydrated but still alive.
Officials say the dog apparently survived by eating mice and rabbits.
Cash has been reunited with Baysinger’s wife her and her two-year-old son, Lane. She said her little boy is “very close to that dog” and happy to see her again.
Investigators said the dog probably kept coyotes away from the body.
