My dog recognized the odor and made me cry

I packed some more today. Some clothes that were kept.

To my astonishment my dog approached and clearly identified my Father's scent. I felt the scent but was not prepared for my dog's reaction. She smelled the odor and showed herself wagging her tail clearly and intensely. I was caught off guard and let her sniff at will. She did so and ... even more amazed I was when she started to lick my face and alternately smelling the clothes.

For me it was the proof of her memories and, I am sure, she felt more than that and so she decided to cherish me. What a shock and how beautiful! After that I started to cry. We do not know how to interpret the feelings of animals as we should.

Does she really know he's dead?

She knows how I miss him.
