The loyalty of a dog can never be questioned!

Capitan, a German Shepherd, lost his owner, Miguel Guzman, in 2006.

And the thought of that just might be too much for the pooch. He ran away from home and Guzman's widow couldn't find her missing dog.

Then when the family visited Guzman's grave, Capitan was already there!

Badgers in the UK aren't just digging up the cemetery… they're digging up bodies!

They've tunneled under coffins and brought bones and human remains up to the surface.

The cemetery has been around since 1881 and is the final resting place to over 33,000 people.

Because the badgers are literally bringing up bones, this is creating a very uncomfortable situation for the relatives of those buried there.

That's so awful.

New York state's Cemetery Board has made it legal for humans to have their ashes buried in pet cemeteries alongside their passed-away pets.

A woman from the Bronx, who wants to buried with her dogs and cats, said:

"I feel great. It was sort of like an early Christmas present.

It's just unfortunate that so many people had to go through this emotional torture these many months while this was being worked out."

Originally, even though over 700 people had been buried near their pets at the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery, the Cemetery Board had ruled human remains could not be buried in pet cemeteries.

The Board reversed their decision and made it legal as long as the service isn't advertised and there is no charge for it.

Kind of weird but we can totally understand wanting to be buried next to your loved ones.

Awww!

This is so cute!

A deer has taken over the task of guarding a nesting goose in a cemetery after realizing she had lost her male mate somewhere in life.

Geese mate for life, so once their male or female counterpart passes on, they spend the rest of their lives alone. Luckily, this mother goose has found a unique defender!

The groundsman charged with watching over the cemetary in Buffalo, New York found the animal's relationship to be very unusual and says he's never seen anything like this.

When he approached the urn, in which the goose has nested in, the deer put itself between the man and the mother goose!

Truly incredible! However, this isn't the first interspecies friendship we've ever reported.

A goose and bull in New Zealand celebrated their 10th anniversary as BFF's this year, while a dog and dolphin in Ireland have been swimming partners since 2006!

Check out the news story above for all the details and to witness the two animal's fascinating relationship with your own eyes!
