How can I say: "Mi perro es el compañero más fiel que he encontrado." ?
"My dog is the ¿faitfhulest? parnet I have meet" ?
I know it's wrong, but what would be the correct?

This is my proposal:

...the most faithful/loyal partner I have (ever) met.
...the most faithful/loyal partner I have had. (...que he tenido)

No pienso que mi pajarito es fiel porque una vez alguien quedó abierto la ventana y trató de volar afuera. Suerte que sus alas habían sido recién cortados. No echo la culpa a él porque sé que él sueña de ir a afuera para volar en el cielo

Los seres humanos no somos fieles a la Naturaleza porque cortamos las alas de los pobres pajarillos

I would actually use the word "companion" when talking about a pet... "The most faithful (or loyal) companion..."

Yes.....

-You can say

I have been faithful to my wife.
I have been loyal to my wife. (but hardly used)

I see it as faithful and loyal being two slightly different things.

For example, you can be a faithful husband and a loyal employee.
You can be a faithful christian and be loyal to your parish.

I don't know if what I am saying makes sense to you.
