Animals that Mourn their Dead<\/p><\/div>\n

The ritual of funeral planning and burying a loved one is something that is uniquely human. No other species on the planet takes quite as much time and care to say goodbye, and the rituals we rely on to find comfort in our loss are impossible to duplicate. However, that does not mean animals don’t share our sense of loss. Dogs at their owners’ funerals have been known to exhibit physical signs of grief, and it is not uncommon for one pet to pass away soon after another one has died.<\/p>\n

Although their mourning patterns may not always match our own, animal bereavement can be a touching, beautiful tribute to the sense of loss we all share.<\/p>\n
