Two dogs who stood watch over their owner's body for at least a week are searching for a new home.

Nobody knew Pirate and Savvy's owner had died. She was found lying on the floor of her Pasco County home with Pirate and Savvy next to her.

A family member took Pirate in, but could not take care of him. Pasco County Animal services took 10-year-old Savvy, but turned her over to the Suncoast Animal League in Palm Harbor.

Director Rick Chaboudy says Pirate needs to gain some weight, get neutered, and will be a good companion.
