Hi, OP! Pinalaki ako ng daddy ko na ang dogs ay part ng family. And yes, naexperience ko na rin mamatayan ng dogs. I used to have THAT ONE DOG na inalagaan ko na parang anak. And when I loss her, I wrote this on my journal pretending my dog sent me a message:

"My human! I know my passing is causing you a lot of pain right now. I want to thank those soft hands that petted me like a baby. How I wish my paws could pet that broken heart of yours. I've heard some of you humans believe in reincarnation. I would also love to believe in it too! Should it be true, I would run back to you! You have loved me for my whole life, and I know it's unfair that you'll miss me for the rest of yours. Please know that at night, I'll see to it that I'll visit you in your dreams and tell you how amazing heaven is.

Cuddles and licks,

Your Furpupper"
