It may be natural for dogs to hide before they die. They don’t want their bodies to be eaten by other animals after death, so they instinctively hide before they die. Secondly, it may be that the dog does not want to be disturbed or does not want its owner to be sad, so it may choose to hide and die alone. Therefore, in order for dogs to grow old happily, owners must do daily vaccinations, deworming and disease prevention.

1. Nature

Dogs used to live in groups. When they find that their bodies are no longer good, they will choose to leave and hide alone. First, for their own sake and to avoid their own injuries. The corpse is eaten by other predators, and the second is for the sake of the group to prevent the disease from being transmitted to other companions.

2. Don’t want to be disturbed

When a dog knows that it is about to die and does not want to be disturbed by others, it will find a place to hide and wait quietly. Death Death is coming.

3. Don’t want the owner to be sad

Dogs are very loyal, and they can understand all the joys, sorrows and joys of their owners, knowing that their owners will be very sad if they die for them. Therefore, in order not to make the owner sad, he will choose to find a place to hide before dying to prevent the owner from discovering him.
