it was you
or
your place

and a place I owe you thanks for.
Sure my little dog belongs here, but you had the courage to make this place for your Ella.

A discussion of our dogs was never planned as a place of common ground, there is beauty and strength in that fact. So thank you for the memories my friend, and thank you for creating a thread that is perfect for leaving some small tokens of affection and respect for our companions.

Dog saves child from bees, dies from stings


Updated 12:59 PM ET December 22, 1999

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A dog saved his four-year-old master from a swarm of bees by covering him with his body, and then died from the stings, Argentine police said Wednesday.

Kharin Toloza was playing with his dog Chocolate in Valle Viejo, northwestern Argentina, when he was attacked by the insects, local police told the state-run Telam news agency.

The dog jumped and stayed on top of the boy, who was taken to hospital but was declared out of danger after receiving just a few stings. The dog died.
