Ginny passed away, how sad. I've heard her story many times, what a remarkable dog (and a remarkable man too.) I believe it was Cat Fancy Magazine that selected her as "Cat of the Year" some years back. As I recall she was the only dog ever featured on their cover.

What a heart-warming story
. Rest in peace at the Bridge Ginnny; I'm sure you are now surrounded by even more adoring kitties

Oh, how sad!!
I read the book about her. Ginny was truly a special dog. I'm glad to see that her owner still plans on helping the strays, though. R.I.P. dear Ginny.

How sweet.
That dog was one in a billion. I'm sure she will be missed. And how cool is her owner, for rescuing all the cats Ginny found, and feeding the feral colonies? That was a great team, huh?

Some dogs just love kitties...I had a Labrador who would let kittens suckle on his elbows, and he'd groom them as well. Two of the kittens kept suckling on his elbows even after they were grown. The 3 of them took naps all snuggled up together.

That sounds so sweet. It's amazing those big dogs love & let our little fuzzy faces suckle them and cuddle them. Sounds like you had a real special boy

Maybe THAT was what Benji was doing to Schatzi here! LOOK and see what YOU think! I thought he was chewing on Schatzi! Talk about a cat lover - Schatzi NEVER met a cat he did not like but he was no where in Ginny's class!

if you go to CROSSING THE BRIDGE on TCS you will find where I posted about Ginny's death. She just passed on the 26th at 17 years old. I feel so bad for her owner, though as they wrere so close. The thread is called Cat's Saint dies. Rest in Peace Ginny!

That is EXACTLY what the calicos would do to Gus!
They'd just purr away and he'd lay there doing his little happy doggy smile.
