Disclaimer: Do not think this is a sad book. It is not! It is filled with support, encouragement and understanding. These are life stories and memoirs of life with a fur family.
This wonderful collection of love stories honors the beloved pets in our life.
All of the contributors knew their pets were more than just animals… they are our closest friends, constant companions, and integral members of the family.
Each day with our pet is special and brings joy to both the owner and the owned (sometimes it is hard to determine who owns who, don’t you agree?)
No one wants to lose their pet. No one gets an animal anticipating the death of that companion. But the fact is, pets are lost to accidents, disease, old age or they simply wander off and never come home. It’s finding ways to deal with the grief that will help you during the difficult time of losing your best friend.
Like Chuck, who asked me to gather the stories, his grief was much deeper over the loss of his German Shepherd than for his birth family. His dogs offered unconditional love.
