01/11/2008: "Friends For Life ... And Beyond"

This story would be a whole lot creepier were it not about a couple of animals ...

Oscar and Arthur were best buddies. They did everything together, even snuggling at night. The fact that Oscar was a dog and Arthur a cat never got in the way. When Arthur died after a long, 17 year life, his owners were ready to move on. But not Oscar. After Arthur was buried out in the backyard, he implemented how own plan.

But Oscar's love for his friend would not die - and during the night, he pulled the cat from his grave, carried him inside, laid him in the basket they used to share and gently cleaned him up.

Mr Bell found the pair curled up together in the basket. He said: 'Oscar had watched me bury Arthur. They had been inseparable.'

Arthur has been reburied, and a new kitten purchased. Oscar is said to already be protective of the kitty - and we've seen just how far that can go.

Heartwarming stuff for a Friday morning ...
