Life really is so much better with dogs in it . it's to hard to trust in people nowadays especially when you and your dog have had to come across some of the worst. That almost undescribable feeling of your passed pup pulling you towards something is an amazingly powerful feeling like he was still alive at your side it was such a strong pull I couldn't do anything but let him lead me.
R.I.P finlay God bless you Dixie 
Couldn't agree more "Life is just better because of dogs." When I travel, I miss my dogs as much as I miss my wife and kids, couldn't imagine NOT having them around. We had to bury our our Ellie Girl in 2022, (miss her every day) we took in a boxer mix puppy a few months later, it definitely helped.
It has helped so fast for all of us. I went along time telling myself I wasn't going to get another after he passed and just stay concentrated on our 3 females but even they were different after that but we're finally comin back around fast. So sorry for your loss
R.I.P Ellie girl God bless for him sending you your boxer pup. He truly does work in mysterious ways
