I was talking to a friend of mine that I hadnt heard from in awhile and he told me that he had lost his Grandfather over a year ago. They had got a dog for him in the last year of his life and the dog would sit with him on the porch in the evenings with other family members. When his Grandfather was unable to take care of himself towards the end they placed him in a retirement home and he passed away in less than a week. Shortly after he passed the dog started acting strange and stopped eating. They found the dog dead laying under the porch swing that his Grandfather would sit in every evening. He thought it was weird how the dog died suddenly. I mentioned this to another friend of mine and he said it is very common for a dog or a cat to die suddenly after the owner passes on. He said he has even heard of a dog refusing to leave the owners side after they have passed at home. Any of you experienced this?
