If your dog were killed. How would you cope?

Question

It's really sad. he was always so happy, he was only 1 years old. When I got him he was all alone abandoned on the side of the road, leashed to a tree with bloody lacerations on his neck from trying to free himself.

Last night he was left outside a little too late. When I finally called him inside... he didn't respond. I ended up finding him on the side of the road not far from the house. Rip. He was still dying. I think he was hit by a car, but on second thought he could've been shot by someone or bitten by a snake. The real tragedy here is my own ego, by having to discard my care for him so quickly. By having to go to sleep and live life without giving him much more thought, ever again. Will I let everyone do the same of me? eminem once said "I'll probably never get the props I feel I deserve but I'll never be served, my spot's forever reserved, if I ever leave earth there will be the death of me first, because in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse."

Either way

He only got a trial at life, but what animal beneath us doesn't.

I cried a lot.
Murphy treated me like I was her boyfriend!! One day, mom had her hair cut short for the Summer, as she did every year and, 2 days later, she was just gone!! We had no idea where she went! She was such a good dog she NEVER needed a leash and we could just open the front door to let her out by herself knowing she'd NEVER leave the yard or run out into the street!! All the neighbors knew this and were amazed at how well trained she was!!
We looked all over the area for her for at least a day only to find her under a huge bush in the front yard panting like crazy!! I crawled in to get her out and we rushed her to the only vet that was open on a Sunday! They were at least 30 to 50 miles away!! They examined her and said she had a heart murmur and probably would see the next day so, they suggested we put her to sleep. They did and we took her home in the cardboard coffin they gave us and buried her in the yard next to that bush!! :-(
When Sammi died about 20 years before, I cried a lot, too, mostly because I never got to say goodbye to her (at least I held Murphy's paw until she was gone!). I was living with my girlfriend at the time and didn't even know they put Sammi to sleep until a few days later when I went back home for a few hours and saw that she was nowhere around! Once we got back to the apartment, I decided to play a song by Klaatu about someone having just lost their best friend. This time, I paid attention to the lyrics and suddenly discovered that it was a song about a guy that just lost his DOG!! I cried like a baby and, to this day, I doubt I can hear it again without crying!

I lost a dog many years ago , after being hit by a car , it was extremely sad , lots a blame cast , but unfortunately my dog had managed to sneak out a slender fence hole , and she had an horrendous habit of sniffing the road , something she liked there. Its a quiet road , but is used as a speed zone ( or was then , safety stops now ) ..
To mind her body on the nature strip at midnight was utterly heartbreaking , nothing could be done , so I buried her , felt very guilty personally..
Unfortunately thats the life cycle :( , people and animals die..

Yes I know how it feels. I felt it 2 times. Once when we adopted a rabbits I would always talk with them when I felt low. They even always listened to me. But they both were killed by a pack of dogs. There home had a side where a sheet of metal was applied so they can breathe. The dogs somehow tore the metal net sheet and dragged them out. Thank fully I didn't saw that horrible seen. My parents told that it all happened in late night when I was asleep. Other time didn't happened long ago. I had developed this habit of keeping seeds near the window in a bowl so the pigeons that live nearby could eat it. After few months a pigeon became a type of my friend. I think he sensed my smell from the seeds for long time so he was comfortable with me. He didn't flied when I touched him. I kind of trained him some tricks and he enjoyed the lessons. We would meet at morning and evening. One evening he didn't showed up. I thought that he must have went to his nest. The next morning I encountered a horrible seen. I thought of going to garden. I climbed down the stairs (the home isn't joined type. The second floor is where we live. The first floor is the office and the ground floor is for guest residence. ) When I climbed down the stairs of first floor I saw that pigeon was half eaten and a evil cat was roaming in garden with a bloody mouth. From now I won't keep any animal friends as it feels really heartbreaking to loose them.

You have my sincere sympathy. We lost our beloved Meg Dog aged 6 years from an inoperable brain tumour. It never leaves you. You learn to live with it, but there will always be reminders of happy times.

Just take it day by day. Shed a tear if you need to. That is no big deal.

I would be grieving for a lot while I really want to own a dog, so thinking of hypothetical dog being killed is super upsetting.
