One of my dogs is black lab we've had him for about 7 months and thats his age also... I have another dog whom is about 4 years old...he recently lost his best friend (another dog we had got hit by a car & didn't make it) so we got a puppy so he wouldn't be lonely.. the puppy seems like he's jealous of the dog we already have... and just won't lve him alone.. The dog we have had for 4 years doesn't want to play all the time.. and it seems like he's really depressed .. like he hasn't been the same since the accident.. please help me .. because it kills me to see my puppies go thru this. Thank You!

The 4 yr old is grieving for his friend and it will take time for him to get over it. For right now, just make sure you give him a lot of attention. He is probably feeling depressed and just needs to know he is loved. I think the 2 dogs will become good friends but it will just take time for them to get to know each other and for the older dog to get over his period of mourning.
