history: I was horrified when my dog died a few weeks ago. He was one of my best companions! Recently_comma_ my dog died. It was so heartbreaking. We had him since 2010.
current: Oh no that would make him quite young. I'm so sorry! Do you have plans for another one when you're ready?
next:  He was a loving dog. Probably! I would love to get a Labrador Retriever.
