Yes, doggos do miss us, and cats too, probably for different reasons though.

Of course dogs miss us, has no one heard of the Fido statue?

“Fido (1941 – June 9, 1958) was an Italian dog that came to public attention in 1943 because of his demonstration of unwavering loyalty to his dead master. Fido was written about in many Italian and international magazines and newspapers, appeared in newsreels throughout Italy, and was bestowed several honors, including a public statue erected in his honor.[1]” Wikipedia

The story:

“One evening on his way home from work in 1941, an Italian man named Carlo Soriani came across an injured mixed-breed puppy. He took the poor creature home, nursed him back to health, and adopted him as his own. For several years, the dog would follow him everywhere, including to and from the bus stop Carlo used for work each day

The pup would wait patiently in the nearby square for his caretaker to return and excitedly welcome him back as he stepped off the bus. His devotion earned him the name Fido, translated from the Latin word “fidus,” which means faithful.

That steadfast devotion would continue long after Carlo failed to come home after work one day. In 1943, Carlo’s factory was hit during a WWII air raid. Fido couldn’t possibly have known what happened, but nonetheless, his faithfulness never wavered. Every single day for the remainder of his life, Fido made the same trip from the same house to the same bus stop and back again, looking for his master.

The story of his devotion soon spread beyond the town and even the country as international publications, including TIME magazine, captured his story. Borgo San Lorenzo, his hometown, even honored him with a gold medal and his own bronze statue. Once destined for life on the street, Fido became the stuff of legend

Fido passed away in the only way befitting his name: waiting for Carlo to come home from work. The best friends reunited when Carlo’s wife laid Fido to rest near her husband’s cemetery. His days of waiting were over and his enduring patience was finally rewarded.”

Some of the caterpillars contained a parasitic wasp, Hyposoter horticola, which bursts from the caterpillar before it can pupate and become a butterfly. Living inside some of these small wasps was another even tinier, rarer parasite, a “hyperparasitoid” wasp known as Mesochorus cf. stigmaticus. It kills the parasitic wasp around the same time as the wasp kills the caterpillar, and emerges 10 days later from the caterpillar’s carcass.

Just another layer of this madness. I feel like we wouldn't exist without having nature produce us. And there are trillions of little carriers constantly floating around between us and through us.

More weirdness.
