We just lost our old 'mom' dog. Sr. female, not related.
Our two heelers new immeniately that she 'was no longer with us'. They cryed, lay next to her, sniffed her, showing the same sence of loss my wife annd I shared. Lady (a Hovoart) had been with us for 15 1/2 years and raised our healers from puppies.
They knew she was gone.They demonstrated saddness and a sence of loss.
When we buried lady in our front yard (5 ft. under), the heelers did not see me dig the grave not see Lady being buried. When we let then out they searched the fenced 1 1/2 acre yard until they found her grave. The repeatedly visited this spot for weeks and still visit daily but at a less frequent rate.
