Is it normal to still miss my dog?

My mum has psychosis and ever since as long as I can remember she's had delusions and shit. I won't go into details but she's tried to hurt herself a couple of times and more. My brother previously (although quite a while ago now suffered from anorexia, he still worries about hit weight along with his struggle with OCD. My dad is normal and stays with us through thick and thin despite the recent death of his mum (my nan). Despite all this I've started noticing that the one I miss the most is my dog Doyle.even though he died two years ago and I've only just really begun to miss him this much. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel this way. I've just started uni and really should be missing my family and friends but all I really want is my dog back. It just doesn't make sense.

    As far as I'm concerned you're completely normal. I'd be willing to surmise that Doyle was the most stable member of your family and offered you lots of unconditional love, comfort, moral support and security.

    I lost my dog that I grew up with when I was around your age. Her name was Diamond and she was white mutt who liked to dig and roll in the mud but she was the sweetest dog. I grew up in Texas with a fairly large backyard and lots of animals. Diamond was gentle and loving towards all of them. Our rabbits and Guinea pigs were especially fond of her.

    I'm now 44 years old and living alone in a townhouse with my Siamese cat, Andrew, and whenever Diamond comes to mind I miss her. If I think about her enough tears will come to my eyes.

    This is normal. A dog is pretty much a member of the family and can be a person's best friend.
    My dog Blackie died back in 2012 and I still miss her to the point where I see her in my dreams.

    Your dog was the most stable loyal friend you have had. Glad you have nice memories of him.

    Pretty normal. Did you know that Seth MacFarlane actually thinks of his old dog when he wants to act in a sad scene?

    Yes, it's normal to miss one's dog. I'm going to miss mine alot when she goes too someday. Dogs tend to be quite beloved members of one's family. I hope your dog rests in peace and is happy up in the Giant Sky Garden or you know, where ever the souls of pets go. I just hope that a person is reunited with their pets in death.
