I donn't know whether this website can be opened in abroad,Pls start watch from 30 seconds. The video is about one of the puppy died,The other puppy never leave her and push her body persistently try to wake her up,he looks so helpless and sad. When people moved the dead puppy,he used his paws to hold her body tightly. When the girl give him sausage and water,he hold in the mouth to feed his dead wife.

Hi Yan,
I seen this and want to tell you a story. Myself and four of my friends have been going on a hunting trip to Iowa for nine years now. Before my seperation in 1999 i raised and trained beagles for seveal years. After i had to move out of my home i had to get rid of several dogs i had. I gave one to a buddy who had bought some from me before. My buddy is Roger and the dogs name was Roscoe. Roger and I run dogs together and Roscoe became one of the best running dogs i ever seen. About two weeks before our trip this year Roger said that Roscoe didnt look good, like he had a cold or something so he let him out of the kennel to run around around for a while then put him back.
That evening the dog next two him in the kennel (Queenie) began to howl and had a strange bark. Roger knew something was wrong. Queenie and Roscoe had been together since 1999 and had a couple litters together. He went out to check on them and Roscoe was dead. He let queenie out to stay in the barn that night as he did very often and she was dead the next morning. They had died within 12 hours of each other. I looked it up and Roscoe was 12 years old going on 13 Queenie was at least 3 years older. They lived a long life for a beagle and there is no doudt in my mind that animals have feelings and we do underestimate this as Frank said.
You said show this to your gf or wife. haha I think i have shed more tears over dogs than my gf or wife ever thought about.

I would have given the live dog a good home, by taking it home with me, to play with all the others I have. I also would have buried the dead one. I hope the other puppy was given a good home (and not for dinner).

Hello Kenny, You mentioned about Iowa. I just saw another touching news,the young man is come from Iowa.This touching story now is spreading over China especially Suzhou city.
American's true love touches hearts---From Shenzhen Daily News
http://szdaily.sznews.com/html/2010-01/25/content_943282.htm
(http://szdaily.sznews.com/res/1/1/2010-01/25/01/res01_attpic_brief.jpg)
A young American who refused to desert his paralyzed Chinese girlfriend and managed to stay in China to take care of her is a reminder that touching love stories can take place in the real world — not just in fiction.
Colin Pemp, a 28-year-old from Iowa, has been supporting Chen Yahuan, a 33-year-old woman from Guangxi, financially and psychologically for more than one year, since she was partially paralyzed in a traffic accident in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, in July 2008, according to a report in the Yangtse Evening Post.
The two first met at a party in 2005, while Pemp was an English teacher in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi Province, and Chen was an employee with a local company.
They were drawn together by their common interests, including a love of traveling and sports.
They fell in love and moved to Suzhou in 2006, where Pemp went to Suzhou University to study Chinese so he could communicate better with Chen, who speaks little English.
(Continued on Page 4)
Their life took a turn for the worse one night in July 2008, when Chen was knocked down by a vehicle.
Chen suffered severe brain damage and was in coma for more than a month. Pemp visited her in hospital every day, despite undertaking extra part-time jobs to pay Chen’s medical expenses, which came to 8,000 yuan (US$1,170) each day.
Chen regained consciousness one month later to find herself unable to use the left side of her body. Pemp managed to renew his visa, which had been about to expire, in order to stay with her.
“Life then was really hard,” Pemp told the Post. “My biggest wish is that she can walk again.”
In September last year, Pemp persuaded his parents to come from the United States to Suzhou to help him take care of Chen.
Chen’s situation is improving.
“He is such a nice guy and always thinks about my interests instead of his,” the woman said. “I love him so much. I hope I can recover so that I will not be a burden on him.”
This is a story about an American young man who fell in love with a Chinese lady. After several years, the lady was paralyzed in an accident. The American, who is not rich, has not deserted her, but has tried very hard to make money in order to cure her. He went through substantial hardship and the lady is now getting much better.
This is indeed one of the most touching love stories I have ever read. It is real, not a fiction!
I would have given the live dog a good home, by taking it home with me, to play with all the others I have. I also would have buried the dead one. I hope the other puppy was given a good home (and not for dinner).
Don't worry Don, People donn't eat this kind of dog, This kind of dog is kept as a pet.

Dear Chen Yan,
I would like to thank you for sharing the story of Pemp and Chan, As I read it I was touched by the compassion of Pemp. Some men (not all) would walk after those types of injuries. I can't help to think that may be their love of each other may help in her recovery and healing of the injuries. It also shows me that love as no broundries as well, when oneself dares to seek out of the ordinary. To quote my Laopo "love is such power".
Thanks again from Gen and Alan
-
very good story about a very old fashioned thing---------LOVE
i hope that they live a long and fruitful life together as they have
a very special love you have to do nothing but admire the young man
for what he has done for a lady whom he must love very very much
-
Chen Yan,
Very touching stories! It's amazing what people and animals will do with true love and affection! There is nothing worth more in this world! You can't purchase this at any price! I am very lucky to meet a beautiful Chinese lady(that is now my wife), that shows me this everyday! I am forever grateful for this and will cherish this always! I wish you the best in finding this same fortune! :heart::heart::icon_biggrin:

Thank you Yan for this touching Video .
This Yan , reminds me of a Story that came to an sad end also . My own .
After a close to thirty year marriage to a wonderful Woman ( my first Wife ) , she developed Cancer .. which gave her about 6 to 8 month's going by her Doctor's . After Chemo , I had to rush her to the Emergency Room ... after which she spend three weeks there in the Hospital . Me knowing this , I had to find a way to spend these last month's with her as much as I could . I pulled a second Mortgage on the House and stopped working all together to be with her and take care of her , ones she got released out of the Hospital . I did not want her to pass away there and me keep working and get a phone call at my Work , giving me the bad news of her passing . I spend her last 6 and a half month's , doing everything from giving her the Medication's and feeding her through a Tube connected to her Stomach . On Jan 24th 2007 , she died in my Arms at home . The last thing she most likely heard me tell her ... was that I loved her . Yesterday , was the three year anniversary of her passing . Qing and I stopped by the Cemetary and brought Flower's for her . Qing know's how much I loved this Woman and I in return Love her so much more for understanding this .
When there is True Love , one does everything for the other and I was not to let it get ... anything less than that . Now Qing know's very well ... I would do the same for her also .
I did start writing a Book about all of this and how I met Qing , but need to get my A** in gear and continue writing .
On the other Hand , someone leaving a badly hurt or dying Spouse behind and not want to deal with it ... I don't know how someone can live with themselves after doing that ?

Hi Yan,
Thank you for sharing that story with us. It is good to hear of devotion like this. With all the bad you hear about people on the news it is refreshing to hear storys like that.
Arnold,
I have read about your story like most here have. What can anyone say, you have a great story to tell and i look forward to reading it. I wish you and Qing all the best.
Kenny

Chen, thank you for that story, it show's you have a big heart towards love. It is rare to have someone who loves you even though you are disabled and to stand beside you in a crisis like that. That guy is a wonderful person, and I am sure she will marry him.
-
Chen,you have a way with words.(people don't eat this kind of dog)HA HA HA
so funny.
Is there anyone can correct my words?
------------------------------------------------------
Hello Arnorld,You are a rare man and we all know that, When your book is published,I must read it. Although It is a shame that I haven't read English novel before.
And new friend Gen and Jim, I am happy to know you both have found your lady and cherish her so much.
Hi Yan,

Kenny
I like your story too,Kenny. By the way,I am curious who's the baby you are holding ,is he your son?
-
Wow, so many sad stories here. My lady's friend has terminal cancer, so that's another sad story I learnt about today.
I'm sorry I don't know that many sad stories. But when I was in Wuhan my fishtank went horribly wrong and most of the fish died. Now my rosy barb misses his wife so much that he has befriended the loach. The loach is not impressed with his behaviour :blush:. I tried to buy a new female rosy barb but the shop only had males :s.

I saw the entire show about the two dogs when I was in Shanghai about two months ago, was quite a heartbreaking show, the show went for a good 30min and at the end they showed the living dog in the studio, it looked a million dollars, it was well groomed and very healthy looking so I'd say she may have adopted it.
A few years ago there were a couple of old twins who had moved to Perth from the Eastern States, they were absolutely inseparable and you never saw them more than a couple of inches apart, they wore the same weird hand knitted jumpers and they were definitely gay ( Looked like that Quentin Crisp that the movie was made about) they hung around the main city center a lot and became quite well known by most city workers, one night they went to the casino and one of them died of a heart attack, the other brother whom was with him died within about 30min.
-
well i am glad the story had a happy ending were the dog was
adopted and cared for. i was wondering what happened to the one in the
video who lived. nice to know this
-
I guess this is the sad story topic? You'll find this in full in "My Book" (Arnold :icon_biggrin:) My Uncle, My girlfriend, Daughter and an Aunt, All went into a Coma, only one made it out, my daughter. And yes I stayed with my gf everyday for 3 months until I had to start working again.
On a strange note. I recently had contact with a guy I knew back in high school. His sister was in my classes who I was also friends with. It turned out they lived (after HS) not to far from where I am now. She passed away (I didn't ask how) but she rests just a few blocks away. Strange isn't it?
-
No Yan that is not my son haha. He is my first born grandchild his name is Brody. He was born in June of 08 from my youngest daughter. She is now 23 the picture was taken in August of 08 at my oldest daughters baby shower. She gave birth to a little girl that November and named her Anna Marie. They are both a big part of my life now. Thank you for asking.
Vince i remember reading that you were writing a book as well. I dont ever remember reading about your family in the coma. That sounds like a terrible time in your life maybe you dont talk about it. I was just wondering if your daughter fully recovered?
-
Yan
Thanks for sharing that. Sad video. Makes me think about when a mother has a litter of puppies, and then they are taken away.
Arnold
That is the first I read of your story. I am so sorry for your loss. Your actions showed that you had true love for her. How devoted and loyal you were to drop everything and take care of her. You will surely be blessed, and it looks like you were by Qing coming into your life. When one door is closed God opens another. Now you have Qing, and for her to stand by you, and go with you to the cemetery shows what kind of lovely soul she has.
Your story reminds me of my oldest brother's great loss of his oldest child. This happened back in 1986. Her name was Christine (my Niece). She had a bad cold, and he took her to the doctor (pediatrician). He sent them home with a prescription saying she just had a bad cold. Christine wasn't feeling well that evening and wanted my brother to sleep with her. During the night Christine passed away. All my brother said all he could remember was a bright light in the bedroom. The diagnosis of Christine's death was double pneumonia. She should have been admitted to the hospital immediately. Obviously the doctor got sued and lost his license to practice in Ohio, so he ended up going to West Virginia to continue practicing medicine. No parent should outlive their child. Shortly after he divorced his alcoholic wife. He then found a nice woman and remarried within a year. Shortly after they had a baby girl with the same blonde hair that Christine had. God took his child, but have him another. Her name is Julie-Ann.

to bury ones own child is something i will never understand but
will hope to find out when my time is up. i have many questions to
ask at that time

Vince i remember reading that you were writing a book as well. I dont ever remember reading about your family in the coma. That sounds like a terrible time in your life maybe you dont talk about it. I was just wondering if your daughter fully recovered?
Not fully recovered and yeah it was a few bad years there. My uncle was more like a father, more then his brother (my father) Very well known and loved by many. Just for a small idea of it he was in his 60's and still went to his high school to help kids out there. He was best known as the candy man. To stop a fight he would give candy and make peace between them. Seeing these kids (at least 50) so upset at the funeral. On the way to the burial they cruised past the high school (this was Brooklyn) on the front lawn was every student (hundreds). I just started seeing this lady, I was getting divorced and since we only went out a few times I called her to tell her about my uncle and I wouldn't be seeing her for a few days. She insisted on coming with me and she did. 2 years almost to the day she had a stoke on the subway station at a week away from 42 yo. A block from the World Trade. Never came out of the coma. After that my fav Aunt and then my daughter.
My oldest daughter (now 24) at 19 they found she had AVM, That's a cluster of veins in the brain. They couldn't operate on it. One day it burst and into a coma she went about 10 days. She made it out but she's like a stroke victim. No control of her right side. She has been progressing, she walks some now but I can tell she's not the same.
There's allot more to this story, it's the short version. Need some for the book. :icon_biggrin:
-
Thanks Jeff and Vince , Stories like these .. do remind us just how fagile Life is . There is nothing like loosing a Child . I have never had to go through this , but my late Wife lost her youngest at 28 in 2000 . Being my Step-Son , I was hard for me also .. seeing her going through a unbelievable hard time . She never got over it .
As I'm blessed twice in my Life with a wonderful Wife , I did name my Book " Two Incounter's with True Love " . The bessing instired me to write this and it's a way to share it .
I like to thank Yan , for starting this Thread ... for sharing not only "Sad" but also "Happy" Stories with everybody .
-
My brother never really got over his loss also Arnold. Even though he was blessed with another child it still didn't fully heal his wound. I could just see it in him as sutle as it was. He never got worked up over life events from that point on and to this day. Just stuff like I mentioned in another thread about haggling with the bank. He would deal with the same situation calmly, but if it didn't work out then he would move on. I think through his eyes nothing was as big a deal as what he went through.
On a side note. Count yourself fortunate for having experienced two True Loves. Many have never experienced one. I think it is a rare thing to have two.

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

I just found this thread. Very touching storys here. I will see if I can get through mine. It is hard to type with tears in your eyes. I had a sister pass away may 2,2009. There were 5 of us children in my family. She was the youngest. She had been married at 20 years old. The man she married I later found had been very physically abusive to her. I received a phone call from the hospital she had been admitted to and the nurse asked if I would come pick her up because she was being released. I called my work and told them I would not be into work, gave them the reason, and hit the highway. She lived about 3 1/2 hours away from me. We had a chat in the car when I got there. She wanted to go back to him and I told her I would not take her back there. I would take her back to my place or she could stay at a hotel where I lived, it was her choice. I just wanted to get her away from him. She was 21. This was 1984. She never went back to him. Fast forward to 1996. She has a boyfriend of some time now but he has a substance abuse problem she doesn't tell anybody about. Alcohol and cocaine were his vices. She goes through hell with this man for several years without saying a thing to anybody. Again she calls me out of the blue. He had hit several cars while under the influence and the police have her because the car he was driving was in her name. It was hit and run and someone had written down the licence number. I told her I would come get her but only if she stays with me untill other arrangements are made. She stays with me and my now ex-wife always complained about it. Fast forward a little more. She finally gets her life together. She has a house of her own. She has a job, ward clerk in intensive care, and a bright future. No boyfriend though. At my daughters 16th birthday party we are standing in the kitchen talking. I think we were getting the cake ready for my girls, I have twin daughters. As we are talking she is constantly reaching around behind to her waist and fiddling with her waistband on her pants. I finally say to her "whats wrong back there, pants not fit right?" She says "No. There is something bothering me. A mole I think." I toold her to turn around and lifted her shirt and pulled her pantd down a bit to look. It was one disgusting looking mole and it had started to bleed with all her fussing with it. I told her to get it checked and the biopsy came back melanoma. Cancer clinic here told her " You had it removed, you're good to go. No radiation or chemo is necessary." She was 39 years old. Within two years she had to have surgery again because it had spread to her lymphatic (spelling?) system. We all knew it was only a matter of time from then on in. She sold her house, quit her job, and moved to be closer to my parents. Shortly thereafter she finally meet a wonderful man that treats her the way a woman should be treated, with love, care and respect. They build a house and move in together. He has three children from a previous marriage that thinnk the world of her. October of 2008 our family takes a trip to France to visit my other sister that lives there. We were there two weeks and toward the end of the two weeks, her boyfriend proposes to her. She said yes, of course, and they plan to have a wedding in june of 2009. She finally succumed to the disease may 2, 2009, about 6 weeks before they were supposed to be married. I really miss her.

There is not anything or anybody that could convince me that animals do not have emotional feelings. They have emotional feelings just like we do.
Dave C
-
being an animal lover i agree they do have feelings and its unconditional :icon_cheesygrin:
-
I have read all of these sad stories.
Vince,I just know your life is so rough before.
Dave,It is regret that your sister cann't wait the day she get married.
I think a man have sister or daughter will treat women better.Because he wants other men to treat them well,So he knows what a good man should do.
Those experience just make us know what is the most precious thing to us in this world.
Here is another story that a man finish his wedding with his past away financee. This story was just happened in my hometown province.

Yan,
Thank you for sharing the heart touching photos. What is the story behind the pictures? The pictures them selves speak louder than words. I have mixed feelings by just looking at the pictures. The man was clearly in love with this lady, she was a lucky girl to have someone love her so much.
Josh
-
he obviously loved her very much. something tragic must have happened before they
had a chance to marry when she was alive. very sad but he went thru with their plans
and married her

Yan,
I too would like to hear the story behind the pictures. Do you mind sharing it with us Yan?

Chen Yan didnt mean it to be a sad story as the story is actually two fold
yes it is sad what happened and tragic but i think she was trying to say
that how wonderful it is to be loved by someone like that young man
loved his girlfriend. he had met his soulmate and he wanted to complete
their journey
