Bless little Caramelo. What a heartbreaking story. But it does sound like there is a happy ending with a new home and I would imagine that the new guardians are very loving people and Caramelo will be showered with love.

Here is the translation from the article link (translation from http://translation2.paralink.com/):

Dog that was veiling tomb of the lady in Teresópolis is adopted

The dog Caramel, which passed days beside the tomb of the lady, Cristina Maria Cesário Santana, killed as a result of the strong rains that reached the Mountain Region of the Rio in last week, gained a new home in this Sunday. Adopted by a family of the Bar of the Whistler, the cãozinho is not the only one to hope for the owner himself after his death.

According to the vet Andrea Lambert, member of the Special Commission of Animal Protection of the Legislative Assembly of the Rio of January (Alerj) who rescued Caramel and other animals that were left without home because of the rain, histories so are very common. – The domestic animal has great loyalty–, explains. – The owner finishes being the reference for everything.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, the Skye Terrier Greyfriars Bobby came gaining a statue after spending 14 years guarding the tomb of his owner, up to his death itself in 14 of January of 1872. Similar history that of the movie Always to his side (2009), played the lead role by Richard Gere, in which the dog Hachiko spends years went always to the same time-table to a train station to hope for the owner who died.

However, reminds Andrea, not all the animals that lost the home and the owner because of the rains in the Mountain Region were as lucky as Caramelo. Those who will be interested in the adoption can get in touch with the vet for the telephone (21) 9632 8115 or for the email andrealambertvet@gmail.com.

Brazil is another example of a global economy that, like China and India, makes me very skeptical. I'm not denying the productive power of its people, some of its amazing accomplishments like achieving energy independence and, of course, its vast, vast natural resources. But when you have so many living in shanty towns.

It brings to mind the China education story that's been floating around over the past month. Yes, their elite students are better at math than our average students. But our average students are on a different plane entirely than the average in China. Just looking at literacy rates would tell you that. That's not to deny China's accomplishments but the distribution of wealth and education throughout a society is more important than the performance of the very best outliers.

This story exemplifies the

This story exemplifies the inexplicable bond between animals and humans. I would adopt Caramelo if I could. My heart breaks for Caramelo, the owners who perished, and for all of thos affected by these continuing disasters.
