Exactly, if this was a person, it'd be utter cruelty. This is cute for a week, then it gets disturbing. Give the dog a new owner, take him to a shelter.

No matter how heartwarming his loyalty is, he needs to go to a shelter. They're enabling him to wait, for years, but that won't make him happy. He can not let go like this, he doesn't know that he won't come back. If this was a human, it'd be considered torture. Take the dog, pick him up, give him a new owner.

@mimib5913 Disagree. He doesn't understand the owner is gone (someone should've let him sniff the corpse, if you ask me, that's how they realize he is dead. Ashame they didn't do that) and honestly, forcing the dog to leave in this case is not cruel. He will not come back, you realize that right? If this was a human, would you let him sit there and wait?

@draspen Right, but you have to communicate with them at some point and just take them away. Sure, it's heartbreaking, but having a woman with a severe communication and intelligence-disorder sit next to a crematory-oven, because she's waiting for her husband to come back out, would be cruel too. Especially if this woman was able to move on and was young, right?
