    It is quite amazing the loyalty that dogs show to their 'masters' isnt it ? I dont know many humans that would probably do the same ...

    I think that the fact the dog stopped with his master for so long is the real reasoning behind the 'statue' honour. Its a shame that, although the dog was still alive when found, he passed away soon after. I guess he used up all his strength in those 11 weeks. A brave little chap.

    It could have at least have been Austrian.
    I mean it comes to something when you're ashamed to be British because a cow got its head stuck in a washing machine ... it'll probably now end up on Celebrity Big Brother.

    ... feel my pain lol
