There are behaviours pets do to express sorrow. If their friend or owner dies, they will respond. they don’t just walk it off. If they are experiencing pain, they will attempt to alert with a change in behaviour.

It doesn’t require magical tricks like an animal speaking to you. just have some basic observance skills what with living with said pet and experiencing their average behaviour compared to sudden behaviour changes.
