Exactly except for me it’s my dog thinking about him just laying next to me as I’m dead thinking “I wonder when my owner will wake up and play” is actually so sad
Okay… I don’t know if this makes it better or worse but read at your own risk…
I’ve heard animals can smell death. They know when you’re dead. I have heard people write in their will or tell a loved one that if they pass before their pet, to let them see and smell their body somehow so they know they’ve passed on and didn’t abandon them.
That said, my cat is my whole world and number one reason for being and I can’t fathom leaving her. Even if she realizes I didn’t abandon her. So regardless of the above is true or not, I get it.
I'm here to say that animals go into a deep depression when this happens. My brother took his own life and when my step dad found him his dog was right there next to him. I found out the next night that dogs can actually cry. It's been almsot 5 years since I lost my brother and if the dog sees a picture of him you can see the sadness in her eyes. Not sure if it's because she remembers or if she is feeding off of my sadness. Either way animals do feel sad and lost for awhile when their owners die. Just wanted everyone to know. And I am so happy that ya'll pets keep you here because I promise the saying is true that the world is a better place with you in it.
