You keep on fighting for you dog. It's not crazy, it's perfectly logical. Dogs are a companion, and loyal. They know when you are sad, and they have their own special way of cuddling you when you are sad. My dog just licks me to death I moan about my dog a lot, but I love him to bits! And every time I feel like dying I cuddle him until I feel safe again. It reminds me that although he is a dog, he would miss me and he would be sad. I have lost count of the amount of times I have cuddled him crying, wanting to die, and saying goodbye to him just in case I did do something... And then in time I calm down, he just lies there and lets me cry until I stop and then he looks at me with his head cocked to one side looking concerned before he licks me
