When my dad died 2 years ago. His dog grieved right along with us for him. She went around for months looking for him. My mom even snuck her into the hospital one evening and laid her in the bed beside of him and she laid right there with his hand on her head.
Dogs most definitely grieve. I had someone tell me that dogs don't have souls. I had to bite my tongue to keep from having words with him. I told my husband I thought he was wrong that I know that they do have souls.
I honestly think that your two will get along great once Monkey is through the grieving process. Just give him time. |
