Is it normal to be depressed when someone elses dog dies?

My friends dog was recently hit by a car and died. Obviously my friend is a mess, but I've been no help because I have become very depressed and emotional... I've been crying every couple hours since I heard 3 days ago. Is this normal?

    I am like that too. Same exact way. My friends dog died last year and I was crying for like a week straight and depressed for like a month. :/ I can't take it when animals die.

    OMG! That movie Where the Red Fern Grows is a masterpiece. If you feel the need to cry watch that movie.

    Yes it's normal to feel that way. Especially how it died.

  • I think so. You're an emotional person. When I read Where the Red Fern Grows I was up until 11 at night crying :(
    I can take it when humans in books die but when dogs die I cry ;___;
