I don't know a lot about this, but what if you got another dog, maybe from the shelter, and let your dog pick him or her out. From what I'm hearing, as others have said, that's a long time to leave a dog alone.
I've watched my girlfriend's dog when she goes out, and often he will just lie by the door waiting for her return, no matter how long, assuming I don't get his attention.
Good luck. I know this is gonna be hard on both of you. |
