Dog and cat's friendship continues after death

It was a friendship that could inspire a Disney movie. Oscar the dog and his best friend, Arthur the cat, were inseparable in life.


So, when 17-year-old moggy Arthur died, Oscar was left inconsolable. Their owners, Robert and Mavis Bell, buried Arthur in the garden.

But Oscar's love for his friend would not die – and during the night, he pulled the cat from his grave, carried him inside, laid him in the basket they used to share and gently cleaned him up.
... Arthur is now buried in a secure grave in the garden at the Bells' home in Wigan and Oscar has a new playmate kitten called Limpet.

A sort of heartwarming story but I'm glad it didn't happen to me.

Oh wow.  That is sweet, and somewhat disturbing.  Poor puppy :(  I'm glad he has a new kitty friend now :)
