Dogs do grieve at the loss of a canine Friend. The act as if the lives are like a freebie being tossed from place to place.

Answer 3

Yes they do. Animals understand death. That is why so many kinds of animals go off away from others, because they know that they are going to die. I have always had multiple pets, and when I lose one, I always let the others come around and sniff so they will know what has happened. They still greve, but not as much as they would if they didn't know what happened to the one that died. I had two cats one time. I still have one, he is 16. One liked to go out side, the other was terrified of it. He would sit on and end table and wait for China to come in the pet door. He would pounce on her and off they would go! They loved each other so much they slept in each others arms. One day some new people moved in next door. China was not afraid of dogs because she was used to mine. Well this dog killed her. I was so angry and upset because the dog came in my yard and killed my cat in her own yard. Anyway, I was so upset I didn't think about letting Pee-nut see her before I buried her. That poor baby sat on that end table and waited for his friend to come through the pet door for months. It was without a doubt the saddest thing I have ever seen. He just waited and watched the pet door. Finally he would go to their bed and lay down alone! I will never make that mistake again. I still have Pee-nut and although he is still a precious cat, something changed in him, and he was never the same.

Answer 4

Of course they do. And it's heartbreaking to watch them grieve. I had a cat a few years ago that lost a friend, another one of our cats that got hit by a car and was killed. My husband buried the cat in the back yard. So the friend of the dead cat would lay on top of her grave for hours at a time. It was sad to see. And our cat that was left behind was never the same again.
The same applies to dogs, birds, ferrets, and a host of other animals.

Answer 5

i'd say definatly in there own methods they do. I truly have had a canine who had a sister and he or she for a lengthy time period acted all weird and wonderful and does no longer play or eat. also we've this cat on the instantaneous that became so on the brink of my canine that when we were given rid of the canine the cat merely went all round the homestead meowing like loopy because they were so on the brink of one yet another.

Answer 6

Yes, I had two dogs when I was growing up, Peanut and Sparky. When Peanut was killed, Sparky lost a huge part of his spirit. He wouldn't eat for the longest time, and he hardly ever went outside. He lived four more years, but he never regained that happiness and light in his eyes. I know animals grieve. I've witnessed it.

Answer 7

Yes they do, but dogs live in the now so they grieve different than we do. Ceaser Milan has a show on The National Geographic channel--The Dog Whisperer. It is so good!!!!!!!!
