Thanks for that. I've lost dogs and people, and the experiences overlap some. I had a great black lab buddy named Murphy.

IMO dogs are a singular pet. Because they are social creatures by nature, they are born for companionship. When you and a dog become close, a lot of communication takes place, and it's a great thing when the two of you just know what to expect from the other.
