I can imagine. When I was very young, we lost a dog to getting hit by a pickup. He was a fairly young dog, about 4 years old, and just all the sudden in the middle of the night, he was gone. I don't actually remember the dog himself very well, but I remember the grief of his death.
My fiance mostly needs an affectionate cuddle-bug, and I've heard and seen that greyhounds tend to be that with 'their' human. A dog that makes him get up and play is also good. His current ESA is a boxer-mix, and her silliness brings him a lot of joy. I think she'd be welded to his leg if he let her, because unless she is eating, evacuating, or in pain, she wants attention.
