Roxie and pluto are both rescue dogs. we got pluto first. (white ) then Roxie came along. pluto was four months old when we got him. about a year later we got Roxie, also about four months old. Roxie was abused buy her previous owners. about two years later Roxie started to bark constantly. when i took her to the vet she got very sick her body started to shut down. she died that night. we buried her in the yard . the next day i went out to check on pluto. he was laying on Roxie's grave. with Roxie's favorite toy which pluto put there. i think boxers are the most emotional dogs there are. it took awhile for pluto to become himself again. that was about a year ago. we have since moved.pluto and i are inseparable. he loves to play soccer in the yard withe me.he loves my grandson and watches like a hawk. if he is worried about something he mupp mupp mupp. (that's the sound he makes to alert me to check something out. Roxie and pluto were great companions and i still miss her. and suspect pluto dose as well. ................mike
