We felt the same when my daughter’s dog had to be put down. We always watched him when they went away or when our granddaughters spent the night. He was the best dog. We still miss him too.
I know how you feel. It’s very sad to lose good dogs. My daughter’s friend had a dog that died. They found out she had cancer and was gone in a week. She was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, which is a very interesting dog. I only saw it when I picked my daughter up from the friends house. But apparently very nice dogs.
The girl in my avatar was a Ridgeback mix. She was one of those dogs that would "smile" by showing her teeth when she was embarrassed or meeting someone new. She scared a lot of people because of that and the "ridge" of hair sticking up on her back all the time.
I’m sorry about the loss of your pal.

Man sorry to hear that. It about kills me when I lose a dog.
Ridgebacks are great dogs. My wife had them when she was growing up.
I greatly prefer dogs to (most) people, so I can totally relate to your loss...
RIP Albus.

My Yellow Lab was a " smiler" too. So sorry to hear about Albus. It's about as bad as losing a child to me. They hold a special place in your heart. RIP Albus.

It’s difficult, surely. I had to help my companion and best buddy of 10 years cross the Rainbow Bridge last August. We rescued Buckshot the dapple dachshund from a hoarder when he was just shy of five years old. He was heartworm positive and had to suffer through the treatments, but was always a happy boy. I was his human, and he was my shadow. It’s still difficult to think about it. We still have two mini dachshunds and a 2-1/2 year old 120# Colorado Mountain Dog to help ease the pain, but I still miss him.

I’m sorry to hear. My dog passed away a few months ago, and it’s been one of the toughest losses I’ve faced
Sorry to hear of Albus passing. . I am petless and have experienced the loss too many times
Maybe it's a personality trait gone wrong but I feel more for the passing of dogs than I do for most people.
I once read a signature file / quote from Will Rogers that read...
"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.".
Nuff said.

Sir, so sorry to hear about your loss. Have lost many over my 78 years, and each one was a great companion. You have others to help comfort you in your loss, you will have many fond memories, I'm sure.
We are very sorry for your loss. Losing a dog is tough! Not having a dog is even tougher!

My wife and I have been married for 52 years and during that time we have had 4 dogs and one wolf as well. They are gone now and often find myself looking out to the back yard thinking I would see them. The dogs we had in Alaska was a husky and the wolf/dog but hey got along together "most of the time" Wifes parents were old and had health problems and we moved to West Virginia with these pets and into a suburban setting with other homes nearby and that did disturb the wolf/dog. Long before I heard anything the wolf/dog would grow slightly but as the noise came closer and closer she would grow louder and go to front door and seemingly wait for the intruder to come in. She viewed me as "alpha dog" and would call her name (Tasha) and come back to where I was at the time. Often had friends visit and as long as I was with her there were no issues other than some wanting to pet her and warned them, I had no idea how she would take that. She weighed just over 100 pounds and could inflict serious wounds or even death if she attacked someone, but that never happened thank goodness.
Having had to put down too many dogs, these posts always sadden me. I can truly sympathize.

Here’s a early pic of albus and Lola our dog they were best friends
