Thank you very much... GREAT story. I never cease to be amazed at the
things German Shepherd Dogs do. What an incredible breed... which is exactly
why
we have such a tremendous responsibility to keep them that way! Temperament
and character come FIRST!

In an amazing display of loyalty, officials now believe a German shepherd
dog stayed at her master's side for six weeks after the man had killed himself
out on the prairie.
The dog, "Cash," was found alive Sunday, next to the body of her master,
Jake Baysinger, 25, a resident of La Salle before his life ended on the Pawnee
National Grassland.
When Baysinger was first reported missing and suicidal on June 28, the Weld
County Sheriff's Office conducted an extensive search on land and by
airplane, but they were unable to locate Baysinger or his pickup.
Undersheriff Margie Martinez said the pickup was found Sunday near the body,
but it was in an area that was difficult to see from the road or air. The
Pawnee National Grasslands contains almost 200,000 acres -- about one-quarter
the size of Rhode Island. He was found near the intersection of Weld County
Road 73 and 104, northwest of Briggsdale.
The sheriff's office and Weld County Coroner's Office said the body may have
been there for six weeks, and the dog stayed close by. There was evidence
the dog ate mice and rabbits, officials said.
The body was found Sunday because a rancher saw the dog and went to
investigate, finding Baysinger's body. Baysinger's gun lay nearby, and it's
believe
he shot himself.
On Monday, Sara Baysinger, the victim's wife, took Cash home with her from
the Humane Society of Weld County shelter. "At least we know it's over now,"
Sara Baysinger said. "We'd been looking for my husband for six weeks, and this
isn't how we wanted it to end, at least we can close this."
Sara Baysinger has a 2-year-old son, Lane, who was happy to see Cash come
home. "He's very close to that dog," Sara Baysinger said. "He's very happy to
see (Cash)."
The dog was friendly when found, although she was thin and dehydrated,
deputies said. She was checked at the humane society, and Baysinger said she
had
their own vet check the dog, also.
Investigators also said the dog probably protected her master's body by
keeping coyotes away.
