I've lost a parent, granted, the relationship wasn't great.. and 4 grandparents... My maternal grandfather was "My Dad". He gave me blood wings at Benning. Oddly the dog is more emotional. I'm not sure what to make of that.
Lost my best friend today.

I know what you mean. Been there. Balled like a baby over a stupid cat. He was my buddy. IDK.
Sorry for your loss. Don't wait too long to get another. Your heart will grow to make room.
Just about made a religion post. Backed off at last second - no need to crap in this thread.
So sorry for your loss. Been there myself.
I've heard it said that you will know you are in heaven when every dog you have ever had runs up to great you.

Worst part of owning a dog... but the hurt is paled in comparison to the love and friendship that they gave. I'm sorry for your loss. Its truly losing a family member.
Have already thought about them, I shared my oldest with his mom 50/50. She had Great Pyrenees. In spite of her I still like the dogs. Probably going to be a good long while before I even think about it though.
I can only offer my condolences and say I know exactly how you feel the dog for me has been great Danes for nearly 40 years now because of their size their average lifespan is only about eight years again I offer my condolences and understand how you feel it will get better but it will take time and in
Sorry you lost your best friend. It's been almost a year since mine passed. I didn't get another critter because at the time, I didn't think COVID was going to prevent a surgery I needed to get done. Now, a year later no surgery and no new dog. But you'll get another as will I, dogs are just too special to not have around.
condolences on the loss of your best friend. will take a long time to get over but the memories of the good times will always be with you.
i went through the same a great many years ago with my best friend, my daughter even remembers him and she was only a toddler at the time. the day i took him to the vet to get the bad news he looked up at me and i cried like a baby. even writing this i am getting choked up teary eyed remembering that sad day in my life.

When you get home and walk through the door....there is no doubt...... that at least one thing inside that house loves you unconditionally. Every single day!
So sorry Man. We brought in a lab pup in November to try and fill the void that our Jessi left 6 years ago, should have done it earlier.
The pack has lost a brave and loyal member.
She will be missed in the home and on the hunt.
The pack will be less without her
But the pack is stronger for having known her and the unwavering devotion she taught us.
my daughter wrote those words when our wonderful yellow lab passed; they grew up together as a 7 month old puppy when she came home from the hospital.
that dog was her best friend , ultimate advocate, fearsome protector and as dogs do taught little girl about friendship loyalty and selflessness.
the wife says God gave us dogs because we as a species need to learn a lot about being nobility and friendship.

I can't add much more to what has already been said here, other than to say I've been there and know how badly you feel now. I lost Gunny 1 1/2 years ago. My best friend, besides the wife. He would tuck me in at night, then go to sleep under the bed. Don't know if it's worse to lose them suddenly, as with the Gunny, or over a period of time. He was an abused G.S. mutt that was so grateful to have a forever home. I still feel that he is looking over and protecting the wife and I.
You never forget the great ones..............................

Sorry, know what its like... 
My 13 year old Golden had a stroke Tuesday. Had to take her in this morning and have her put down.
It's a terrible feeling as you are doing the right thing but end up feeling like a monster.
Shitty day today.
