As you can tell by the name i'm in the Marine Corps, i got a call from my mom last night saying that my rat terrier was missing. She is over ten years old and has never been gone for more than one night(it's been 3 nights). Now my question is: Is it true that dogs will wander off to die alone rather than around there owners, i know her health was getting worse each day and it is highly probably that she did die but was just wondering what you all think. thanks
