I wouldn't equate our loss with yours. No way. The vet told me dogs rarely, if ever, have a peaceful end and drift off in their sleep.
For the few weeks after he passed I walked our past routes, even stopping occasionally where he used to stop and pee. Where he peed. It was a futile attempt to get close to him, I guess.
I can understand your to urge to have another dog in your life because I do (or did) too. I spent about a year researching breeds, watching various online videos, but no breed seemed to tick all of the boxes. I guess that's not possible, but the mere research seemed to quell some of the urge. And the climate here has much, too much rainfall. Cats and Dogs.
You spoke of owning a big dog. I particularly researched those, having had experience of walking the smallest dog in the hood. I even fantasized about walking a big cat, a leopard, something along those lines. I am not suggesting you get one of those, or the large breed in this documentary (or even watch this!) But when I get that Manor House, I will definetly be getting a pack. They are heartbreakingly loyal, trustworthy. I defy anyone not to feel awed, humbled by their intrinsic qualities.
