Dogs are just animals different from humans!
Dogs do not shed tears while sympathizing with themselves even while they are dying!
However, humans shed tears as they seeing death!
From my point of view, @tarazkp wanted to gain empathy for his uneasy future rather than sympathize with the dog's death.
By the way, will you buy a new dog after he dies?
Nah, I like my dog a lot. He sits next to me every night as I write, as he is now also. We have spent a lot of time together over the years.
We won't get a new dog until our daughter is old enough to be able to take it for walks alone.
I like dogs too. However, the joy of being with a dog was less than the joy of meeting and talking with humans. The East asian proverb still says that humans are better than beasts.
That's good idea! Currently, there is an increasing number of dogs attack on young children in Korea. Smallsteps is most more importan than dog!
