Why does it hurt so much to lose your pet dog

Our mini Schnauzer that we have had for 15 years passed at lunch today. I cried like a baby digging her a grave.:crying:

Sorry for your loss sir. :praying:

I've never owned a dog until about a year ago. Got me a sweet little one year old lab. If anything happened to her I'd be inconsolable. I think the fact that they give you unconditional love and affection makes us feel this way.

:praying: for your family.

its the loyalty and unconditional love they give...……….so sorry for your loss

:crying: I've cried over several, just as most of us who've ever known the unconditional love of a good dog have done... It absolutely hurts.

Sorry about your pal, Roddy.

Sorry Roddy
Dog lovers know what you are going through.

I could not bury my shitzu in December. A part of me died with her. Never told me she loved me.... but i knew. RIP Maggie Eva Hawkins

Sorry for your loss Roddy.

Sorry for your loss my friend, and yes as what was stated dog lovers know what you are going through.

dogs are like kids that dont talk back, it really sucks they dont live very long, but we will go out and buy a new puppy to fill the empty spot in the house and hearts.. sorry for the loss...

Sorry for your loss :praying:

:praying:

Sorry. It hits you in the biggest soft spot you have.

Had to console my youngest daughter last night over the death of her pet.

Sorry about your dog. I cried like a baby too when we had to put our dog down.

So sorry :crying:

Looking out the window right and as my 5 and 3 yearold run around the back around with our dog. He is 8 years old and we will all be crushed when hes gone.

These are the hardest threads to read especially for us dog lovers. I'm sorry for your loss.:crying::praying:

Sorry for your loss, my two GSPs are a huge part of my family and I will cry as well when it’s their time to say goodbye.

Like they say -- "I hope to be half the man my dog thinks I am".

Very sorry for your loss. Miss mine every day.
