This is so hard to answer, because I remember so vividly what it feels like. No, wait, I still feel it.
There is absolutely, no way, not even come close, no bond so special as one between a person and their four legged best friend. The love back and forth is so unconditional and so special, so no questions asked, that it just can't be fulfilled by a human.
And to see it happening, hurts so, so, much. There is such a pull on your heart - one direction hates the suffering - and the other direction is just too afraid to let go.
I can't help you - words can't do it - but I do feel it. Maybe if my feeling it can take some of the weight off......
