    They will be depressed. 1000% sad. Most of the time, the remaining dog will go within a few months to a year or two if they were both old. It is sad, but some dogs die of heart break , or that is the only explanation! :(

    Yes some dogs do grieve.Some take it in stride and act normal.Give your dog a few days or a week or two and more attention he/she will snap out of it,although may not act as rowdy as before.
