Fully individual. Goes for any companion, friend, family member, not just canines. But they differ as well between the deceased individuals.
It's natural to grieve if this happens, non-human animals often grieve as well.
It helps to have enough time to say goodbye and don't develop the emotional feeling of "having something missed on the parting".

Grief is an individual process. What helps most people is distractions and creating a new future/memories without them, getting away from dwelling only on what you have lost. The pain never really goes away entirely, you just cover it with new memories so you can have more control over when you feel it.
