Recently I heard a great story. She was an old girl but they took really good care of her. After showing signs of dog joint pain they brought her in to see an animal nutritionist a couple of years back and the advice and pet arthritis products did wonders for her. This guy took his wife out on the town. They came home, which they thought they had locked and found their house in complete shambles. Every curtain was ripped off the walls, every piece of furniture was turned upside down, and there was blood everywhere. Obviously someone had broken in. The searched the house after they called the police to see if anyone was still in the house, you know, like they do on TV. Once they cleared the house they looked to see if anything had been stolen. Amazingly nothing seemed to be missing. Their dog was a collie/sheppard mix.

The story takes a mysterious twist. The dog appeared to have some blood around her mouth. By conflating that information with the knowledge that there was blood all over the led was cause for my friends and the authorities to believe that the dog was responsible for scaring the crackers out of whoever broke in. It appears as though the locks on the doors were nothing compared with the well oiled machine they had as a family pet.

This friend of mine went on to explain how he thinks it all happened. Apparently the dog had never hurt anyone its entire life. Her whole life she grew up with little children pulling her hair, poking her in the eyes, pulling her tail, and so on. The dog never showed any signs of aggression toward anyone. They always bought the best nutritional diet for the dog, and when it got older, like I said they managed the dog joint pain with proper animal chiropractic care. So my friend figures the dog heard someone walking around the house and decided to see who it might be. When the intruder saw the big dog he got frightened and took on an offensive posture. The faithful pooch then proceeded to dispatch the intruder the only way she knows how.

This dog was, are you ready for this, eighteen years old. Now, according to the latest scientific data an eighteen year old dog is equal to a human being who is eighty eight years old. Can you imagine that? By loving this animal, treating the dog joint pain with proper animal pain relief, and feeding her a proper nutritional diet had a loyal, passionate member of the family who was up to the challenge when her family needed her most.

Isn't that an amazing story?
