[@2ATristan]

I just put my dog down last Friday. He had come down with acute liver failure. I noticed jaundice in his eyes and gums the Thursday before hand. Took him to the vet that Friday, they ran labs, and his liver enzymes were through the roof. I made the decision to let him rest and by 12:00 that afternoon he was gone. What I thought would be an easy fix turned into losing the best friend I had ever had. He was 13 and had a dang good life and I will miss and love him everyday. He would sleep in my laundry, lay on my chest, give his version of kisses which was sniff sniff sniff, hard exhale, and he would hold guard outside the bathroom as I showered. He was my boy for 11 years of the 13 in his life and I’m thankful for him.

[@Smelly-Belly]

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your boy was an incredible companion, always by your side, showering you with love in his unique way. Letting him go was such a tough decision, but it came from the deep love and care you had for him. Sending you lots of love and strength during this time. 🌟🐾❤️

[@pittiedaddy-j8s]

Same with me. I never had a dog until I was in my fifties. When my mom died a friend of mine brought a stray pit bull to me that had walke into a pub where he was playing music. Someone had likely dumped him. He brought him to me because I had just bought a house in the country and was sort of down and by myself. That dog made a huge poitive impact on me. That was over six years ago and I still have him, plus another pittie I rescued from the shelter. He looks back at me whenever we are outside to see if Im'm there. My girl sleeps with me and stares into my eyes for long periods and sits on my lap. I am now a total dog person. They are my children, and I would do anything for them. I'm also sure that if I was threatened by anyone, that person would have a very, very bad day. That said, my friends all love them because they are so sweet and friendly. Dogs are made for us and we for them.

He was negligent, always assuming everything, no common sense. I cry every day and every night. My life ended that night. I miss my Pepa.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

@@diapricea4888 I’m so sorry. My Hiro was that dog for me too, though he only had 1 eye due to glaucoma at an early age. Saved his right eye through continuous treatment. For the next 10 years he operated like nothing had happened; it didn’t slow him down one bit. I spent tens of thousands of dollars on that dog, and I’ve have spent it all if it could have helped in the end. It’s going to hurt for a very long time, but it’s better to hurt having known their love, than to let it fade from memory.

I am looking forward to seeing her again. I enjoyed hearing your loving words about Hiro. My son, 46, died suddenly unexpectedly 7/7/23. He had moved into his grandparents house an hour south, was starting a new life there. Around 4 months before he died i told him he needed a dog, now we have his 85lb Mastiff, Buddi, he is gentle as a kitten. My Pepa was with me grieving with me when my son died. She weighed about 15 lbs. She welcomed Buddi, it was a joy the watch them play. Buddi was left again to grieve. I understand about the $$$, I'd give every $ in my bank account to have her back. The vet charged over $2,000 to tell us she was dead, when we walked in with her. I can't be in the same room with him (ex husband) now. She was my everything. A rat terrior, my protector.

Not all dogs mirror emotions the same way. I have severe depression and needed a dog who would be empathetic to my emotions, but who wouldn't take them on and mirror them back. It's one of the reasons I chose a golden retriever when I was looking at getting a service dog. My dog is excellent at knowing when I'm having a depressive episode and will act silly, bring me toys, and give me kisses to help bring me out of it, but he doesn't ever act sad or get depressed himself like some other breeds may be more likely to do.

[@Smelly-Belly]

That's so insightful! Golden Retrievers are such wonderful companions, especially for emotional support. 🐶❤️ It’s amazing how your dog knows just how to lift your spirits without mirroring your emotions. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊🌟

My daughter moved back home recently and brought her dog with her. We already have 2, one is a Chihuahia who is very attached to me. My daughters dog has shifted and prefers to spend time with me and my dog. It really hurts my daughters feelings, I feel bad, but my husband and I are very calm and use far more positive reinforcement and praise than scolding and I think between that and wanting to be part of the family pack rather than in the basement with just my daughter makes a huge difference.

When my dogs have a hurt paw or leg, they know I feel around their injured body to see what is going on. One time I was feeling around my dog's paw cause she was really favoring it. When I evidently touched the injured spot, my dog started to yelp really loud and took her mouth and clamped her teeth, very lightly on my arm as she was yelping. Her mouth lightly vibrated on my skin as I instantly pulled back. Being in pain, she could have bit down onto my arm to relieve her pain, but did not. I had to pet her alot just to reassure her. I was touched by my dogs actions and of course there is that saying 'dont bite the hand that feeds you'.

My little Angel did all of these things. She was such a joyful blessing to me during the darkest period of my life. She truly was a guardian angel for me. She did something else none of my other dogs ever did. We were walking and she suddenly stopped and was whimpering at me. I looked back and she was holding her paw up and staring at me expectantly. I went back and began searching on her paw and found a big thorn wedged into it. Now I have always tended to my dogs when they were hurt, but I never had one that seemed to truly understand that I could fix a pain. She also gave my leg a single little lick when I pulled it out, as if saying thank you. I never had one put all those things together like that: I would fix their pain, and that what I did was what fixed their pain.

[@Smelly-Belly]

Your little Angel sounds like she was truly special and deeply connected to you. 🐾💖 It's incredible how she trusted you to help her with that thorn, showing her understanding and bond with you.

Here's something worth noting. When I was a young teenager we adapted a dog. We were inseparable. I loved the dog and he loved me. We sort of lived for each other. He was loving with everyone in my family, but I was his human. As time passed and I grew up, I spent less time at home. A job, dating and hanging out with friends kept me away from home. I spent less time with the dog. We grew apart. The dog wasn't as close to me. I could see he grew depressed. I always loved the dog but as I got into my twenties I had to spend more time with school and work. Out relationship was never like it was when we were younger. Sadly, I came home from work one day and he had died during the day while I was out. He had a heart attack. My heart was broken. He was such a good boy. I still think about him, almost daily and I'm nearing 70. I think the worst time to adopt a dog and have a dog imprint on one person is in the teen years. Once you grow up there's less time for your friend because life hets more complex. And I 've heard this said - "No matter how much you love your dog, they love you more!" I really loved my dog. But I was growing up and that changed everything. Keep that in mind if you plan on adopting a dog. Timing is everything!! I hope I see my old friend in Heaven and he forgives me. I know he has to be there.🙏✝️❤️❤️

Dogs are suspected of having mirror neurons. This would mean that not only can they mimic emotions, but that they are showing actual empathy.

🐶 If dogs do have mirror neurons, it really adds to how amazing they are at connecting with us emotionally. Thanks for sharing this interesting thought!

My dog "learned" to enjoy the fruits and veggies I started eating for myself at treats. She mirrored me so hard that she can recognize the snap of a fresh apple across the house

That's impressive! Sounds like you've got a furry little health guru on your hands! 🍏🐶
