Stirred some memories!
My father had a sheltie named Sable for a long time - about 16 years I think. That dog's best friend was a scraggly little cat named Sassy. Sable became a little frail with arthritis late in life. Sassy would hunt for her, actually bringing moles, mice, and chipmunks she had hunted and offering them to Sable. Sable was well-fed on a diet of high quality dog food, but Sassy apparently felt the need to supplement her elderly friend's diet. Sable passed away one night in her sleep. For several days following, Sassy would continue to bring the fruits of her hunts to Sable's napping spot and howl for her. She was actually mourning! It was both sweet and bitterly sad to see. Your account in this article of a similar situation stirred that memory up in a big way. Nice work.
