Although my dog is a pet and not a working dog, she's more important to me than every living creature on planet earth, behind only my wife and daughter. I've kept saying no more dogs for the past 20 years, and I keep replacing them. Losing the last one was the toughest and only gave in to my daughter's constant begging. As it turns out the new dog (11 years ago already) picked me as her primary "buddy" anyway. All this to say that I know the terrible feeling of losing even the closest family members and beloved dogs. There isn't much difference. Im very sorry for your loss.
