Yes, my fiance's mother breeds hounds. They're very social, when one dies (usually ancient age for a dog) they get depressed and sometimes won't even eat for a while. They miss the one that's passed, they mourn and therefor they love.

I don't know if animals are capable of experiencing the emotion of love as people are. But I do know that they can develop very close bonds between each other and with us. There are also some animals that mate for life. Killer whales and Canadian geese, among others.

If by love between animals you mean for example if a dog can love another dog, then yes.

I think animals can grow to know other animals and get comfortable with them.. but i don't think they actually love each other. love is a very complicated emotion that not even us as humans understand.. so how can we expect an animal to understand? don't get me wrong.. animals are smart.. and i like them! but seriously.. they don't know what love is.

No, I believe in the instinct God placed on them to mate. Just like animals cannot marry, they can't love. But I do think animals might have a certain fondness (or dislike.) between them. Or with a human.
