While it’s often said that blood runs thicker than water, sometimes your closest family members aren’t human, as a story from Oklahoma proved earlier this spring. In the small community of Bethel Acres, police were called to a house where a man had suffered from a fatal heart attack.

What they found was a heartbreaking scene. An elderly Labrador Retriever, presumed to be about 20 years old, was lying next to her deceased owner, refusing to leave his side. The dog, named Sam, was all alone after losing Arthur, her best friend.
