I don't think I'd go so far as to put myself with that group, but it's pretty hard to believe that the dog doesn't know what's happened, some way or another, and is deeply saddened by it.
You and me both Owl_Eagle. Those of us who adore animals know they’re just not animals. They give us comfort, joy and companionship. This time last year we had 1 dog......this year we have 4 total. 2 of the sweetest Pugs and 1 beautiful Chug needed homes very badly.....viola! They have it. I’m thankful to God that He has allowed us to give them the proper care and love that they ALL deserve. :)
