The furry ones are one of the family. They are there to share our sorrows and our joys. They are always willing to follow us as faithful friends. They don’t hesitate to wait for us when we leave the house and explode with happiness when we show up at the door. The problem comes when the death of someone close to you occurs.

They too experience pain and may go through several days of mourning. That’s what happened to an American Stanford man who used to play every afternoon with the “grandmother” of the house, according to a video published on X (formerly Twitter).

The furry boy had a great time playing with her and his inseparable blue ball. She would throw it to him and he would catch it quickly. It didn’t matter where she was, he found her again and again.

However, the “grandmother” of the house passed away and the afternoons were never the same for this American Stanford. He was waiting for her in the same place, next to the sofa and the ball. But nothing was the same. Seeing that his inseparable friend did not return, he sat for several afternoons in front of the altar, presided over by her photograph.

Upon watching the video, some social media users recalled that “many dogs fall into a deep depression and die shortly after suffering the death of one of their owners.” “They are so beautiful and wise that they only need a few years to be missed for an entire human life,” comments another.

The video has moved many users of this social network. “I’m not crying,” one said. “Great, now I’m crying while eating,” adds another.
