A couple of years ago I adopted a stray dog estimated to be around 10. Abby appeared to be well taken care of, yet I found her running around downtown during rush hour and to my surprise no one claimed her. I have often wondered if her owner died and someone just let Abby lose.
She did not act strange until I started chemo, The first month I was on AC a strange smell came from my body - Abby would just cling to me and cry, and she started to have terrible nightmares. It made me wonder if her original owner had died of cancer.
My uncle had a wiener dog who he was very close to. My uncle died from heart problems. He had been in the hospital for a while when he passed. On the anniversary of his death his dog (very well trained and usually well behaved) howled all day and could not be consoled.
