Tears in my eyes
This touching story took place in Decatur, Alabama. One day a cat appeared on the doorstep of the house where the teacher and her family lived. She climbed into the yard, where she was immediately greeted by a dog named Gracie. The two became inseparable in an instant, but fate did not allow them to be friends for too long…
Gracie was an Eskimo husky who spent most of her time outside. She had a friendly disposition and was very fond of all living creatures. No wonder that people loved her back and her owners loved her dearly…
And then Baby Grey showed up. She just came into the yard, and the dog immediately took a fancy to her. The cat took a liking to her, and the four-legged friend reciprocated in kind. From then on the cat would come to Gracie’s house many times and meet her.
The doggie’s favorite treat was tomatoes, and the owners often gave them to their pet, who now shared them with the cat. After the treats, the pals would lay down in the yard and bask in the warm sunlight…An amazing emotional bond was established between them!
This idyll seemed like it would last indefinitely, but suddenly disaster struck. Gracie had just celebrated her 12th birthday when her owners noticed the dog seemed to be fading. Terrified, they rushed to the vet who gave them the tragic news: Gracie has an aggressive form of cancer…
Little Gracie spent the rest of her days on the porch, parting with everything she had held so dear in her 12 years of life. It was as if she was saying goodbye to her beloved yard and its inhabitants…
Baby Grey sensed that trouble was coming. There were no more tomatoes and fun games — Gracie was fading, and the cat was beside her… In the last days they just lay down, cuddled up to each other…
Gracie passed away a month after she was diagnosed. The owners took her death hard, and her faithful friend kept coming back, waiting to see the dog. It was as if she could not believe that Gracie was gone and that they would never lie next to each other again, basking in the sun…
The owner says she couldn’t have imagined that such a friendship could develop between her pet and the cat, and that Baby Grey would keep coming. According to the teacher, it pains her greatly to see the sad guest still waiting for Gracie, peeking timidly into the house…
Well, this story is very sad, but it has an incredibly positive point — an amazing friendship between animals, which sometimes even humans can not boast!
