I'VE BEEN A GMA FAN FOR YEARS AND JUST SAW YOUR SEGMENT ON THE LOVE THAT DOGS FEEL FOR THEIR OWNERS. I CAN ATTEST TO THAT FROM A SITUATION THAT OCCURED WITH MY BROTHER WHO HAD PARKINSON'S DISEASE. HIS DOG WAS VERY DEVOTED TO HIM AND ALWAYS STAYED AS CLOSE TO HIM AS POSSIBLE. HE OFTEN FELL AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET UP ON HIS OWN NEEDING TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE WOULD RETURN HOME TO HELP HIM UP. WHEN HE PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 57 HIS DOG DIED 2 WEEKS LATER - TRULY A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE LOVE CONNECTION BETWEEN DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS!
