For sure. They are family that's a fact. It killed me when he went. Some people don't understand that bond that we have with our dogs.
I lost like 10 pounds (which didn't hurt me I needed too) when he passed. Like I didn't eat for three days, I had lost my brother man. Also broke my hand, yes I'm an idiot.
Take all the time now to make that dog happy. After all, you are all they have.
