Every time a family member get sick, one of my pets also died. I do observe it as the sickness is being experience also by the pets. That because of their love for their pet owner they tend to catch the diseases saving the pet owner from suffering from the burden of diseases. In some other cultures, they adopt pets such as cats, dogs, rabbit, birds and other pets as they believe these pets are responsible to ward off diseases and sometimes they sacrifice themselves to die to save the owner from lingering diseases. Do you encounter cases like this a pets died when the owner is sick at the same times, one of your pets died too. Kindly shares your thoughts. Thanks.

Thats true neelia, i have a pet dog and everytime i get sick he becomes sick also but he does not die because he is the one who is brought to the dog clinic and confined there for a while, me , i just stay in the house and rest and take medicines. When i am well already my dog will get well also. They really becomes a part of you.

Well, that's so sad.. BUt i guess it's true.. MOst of the time, pets will die along or around the same time as its owners, and it's something which cant really be explained.. hehe ^_^ Pets are there to ward off any diseases or diasters for owners, but that's not the main reason as to why they have those as pets.. hehe ^_^ IT's thru love of the owners to pets, and royalties of pets to owners, thus sacrificing their lives too..

hi kun, yup..and whether it is just a matter of coincidence I really feel sad every time a family member get sick as it always expected some pet would die sooner and it really come true. Although, they are generally well feed they just succumb to sudden illnesses that is why they somehow interrelate the happenings to the sickness of the other family members..

I think that would be a terrible reason for buying a pet. That's horrible.
