Back in the day my grand dad lived in a farm in Russia and his family had a dog. The dog was very old. 1 day the dog juat left the house and never returned. The body of the dog was found literally same day in a nearby field. The dog have died of old age.
Fastforward real time
Good friend had old German Shepard. Couple of days ago the dog ran away.

Dogs that are really attached to their owners do this. They do not want to die in front of their owners so they leave to die. My doggo did this a few years back. Best friend I ever had.

Same reason bees infected with parasites die off away from the hive. For the sake of the group.

Cats are also famous for fucking off to a corner and dying away from their owner.
