When a good dog leaves this realm if you are anything worthy of being human they take a piece of you with them.
I'll never get over my 1st doberman. I dread losing the others.

For me, my girl is everything.
I rescued her when she was a year old. It's been 12 1/2 years, and she's rescued me back every single day every since.
I trust her more than any other living being. Her instincts have always proved infallible.
I know it's inevitable, but the day she leaves me will be worse than any other has ever been.
Her Royal Cuteness is the joy of my life.

My cat never hurt me....more than one human did.

If and when I lose my Sassy I will be devestated. She is a big part of who I am.

I lost my fish Bubbles. I was depressed for a week.

I have had many dogs in my life I grieve for each one I have lost maybe that is why I have four now.

I've cried every time I've lost a pet, but I haven't over losing every person.

I think we have a specific bond with our pets. we love them as much as we can and I think they love love us too.

Because your dog is never a bitch to you

Because pets are more loving than a lot of people. Unconditional love!

I just lost my 16 year old puppy to cancer in February. I rescued her when she was about 4 months old. It hit me harder than any human death I've dealt with. I still struggle with it constantly. From diagnosis to when I lost her was only a few days. She was the best companion I could have ever asked for.

I lost my dog five years ago, and I was devastated. I still have a hard time when I think about her. I have a dog that is 12 right now and one that is 11. We rescued the 12 year old when he was a puppy, and I cannot imagine how it is going to be to lose him. It makes me panic to even think about it.

Usually when someone dies, there’s shared grief among relatives and friends. Losing a pet seems like a much more solitary, personal grief.

My critters are my fur children, I love them nearly as much as my the kids I gave birth to. Yes, losing a pet was like losing a child. I feel sorry for people who can't love animals.
