In most cases yes, but some dogs are different from others, even if it's the same breed. In my case I had 2 cats, the older one died and although the younger one didn't really appear to get on with it while it was alive, she literally spent weeks searching for her and when she came to the conclusion she was no longer here she sort of ignored my family, stopped being playful and basically fell out with us for a while. It's amazing how animals deal with death and companionship.
