Dog heartbroken after death of best friend: owners find the sweetest way to help

By Ludivine Mazzotti

Losing a lifelong companion is a heartbreaking ordeal that does not just affect humans.

George is an adorable Dachshund who lives with his family and his sister, Fifi.

Sadly, George went through the most painful ordeal just a few weeks ago.

A terrible tragedy

The poor pup lost his sister, Fifi, in a tragic accident after she was hit by a car. George was able to say his final goodbyes and spent a long time licking her. It was then that his grieving process began.

George started calling out for his sister around the house, crying under the table, and he even lost his appetite. His owners caught him several times trying to dig up Fifi's grave. Sadly, she is never coming back, and her brother's heart has been left completely shattered.

A call for a new companion

On TikTok, many users shared similar stories about their own pets. They recognised the classic signs of grief: a lifeless look in the eyes, a lack of energy, or constantly searching for their lost companion. George's owner admitted she had no idea dogs could grieve so deeply.

Many people asked in the comments section if the family would get George a new companion, and they have now decided to welcome a new puppy very soon. The aim is by no means to replace Fifi, but to give George some company to help him find his joy again. We wish George the very best and send our deepest condolences to the family.
