 Every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them.

Every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart.

If I live  long enough, my heart will be 100% dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are. 
 That's a lovely thought but I don't think it works that way mate  
 I feel this. 
 Well said, I still miss Dug. 
 …and it’s reversed for cats. Every cat that comes into someone’s life destroys a piece of their hearts. 
 Beautifully put 🦮 
 I trust you fully!
I am still with our first dog ( lovely 6 years old lady - Golden retriever) and I do not want to think at all about that time … 

… but your tell resonates a lot! 
 This is a perfect description of the process you go through with a dog 🥹 
 I lost my best (canine) friend of more than 15 years to cancer last week. I hope I gave him a life as good as the one he gave me. 
 My dog & I have been together 5yrs as of three days ago. We went backing up a mountain two weeks ago, & spent three days on the coast last week hiking and taking long walks on the beach. She's the most loving happy & friendly being I could hope to spend time with. There's a good reason we call dogs man's best friend.

 I'll never forget having to put down my dog Maggie. It was a very sad moment having her in my arms while she slipped away. Dogs bring out the best in us, if we let them. 
 well said. Dogs are Angels on Earth. All they know is love
