well,if you want another dog,go to your local shelter,and see if theres any there that you click with,and one that is well behaved,so he doesnt run away all the time.
its hard to get over a lost dog,when my RB Beagle died,it took us 4 years until we got Kodie,and then my Dalmation passed away in April.im still not over them,but for some people getting another dog helps them get over there loss. Which Kodie helped me get ovr the loss of my Dalmation,but i stil love her very much,and think about her every day.
