How long do dogs take to get over the fact that someone close in their life leaves them in your personal experience
I am a 28 year old man.
I got a Engineering degree, and then got a job as an engineer in our local town out of college( I was 26 at the time.) I live with my parents currently. I've been in this job for about 1.5 years now and am ready for a new job, so i'm going to start looking(already applied to a few, made my resume, etc. ) and move to a new city.
I have a strong relationship with my Maltese dog. He's not as close to to me as he is with my dad, but we are close. We play a lot after work , and he usually waits for me at the door.
When I leave I am afraid that he may go into a severe depression. Engineering jobs generally give you flexibility to do some remote work and what not, so I can visit from time to time, but I am afraid he won't be himself when I leave. Its not so much I miss him, i'm afraid that he will miss me.
In your experience, how long does it take for dogs to move on? Thoughts?

Not too long for most dogs.
A few days.
They remember when you return though.
Won’t forget you.You have my word as a Schons.

Rule of thumb for dogs is about 3 months to fully move on. Some don't give a fukk at all and some take longer.

Have you heard the true story of Hachiko, the doggo in Tokyo?
The dog waited for his owner everyday at a train station for 9 years after his owner passed

I love dogs.Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
1/13/16: Massive hernia.
5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

When our first dog died, our second dog slept next to his grave in the back yard every night for 5 days, but seemed to be over it after that.

Protip, just like your father doesn't give a shyt about you, neither does the dog.Originally Posted by johnnydeep1
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
