Dog reaction towards death
I'm curious about how dogs react towards death. Dogs are known to form
a strong bond or attachment with their owner so obviously when the owner dies usually there is a "grieving" period. My question is, if the owner dies in front of the dog does it mitigate the grieving reaction? Does a dog instinctly accept death and move onwards if it sees/smells the corpse of its owner. Or is a dog in fact capable of more abstract emotion by continuing to grieve for its owner even after the dog has witnessed/acknowledged their death. |
