Losing a pet, especially a dog, often equates to losing a member of your family—you may feel the loss deeply, and can be heartbroken. Many times your pet has listened to you moan and groan, just looking at you with unconditional love shining from those trusting eyes. The pain you feel with their passing is real, and you may need to go through a grieving process of which everyone goes through differently. Many well-meaning friends urge you to “get another dog,” but the thing is, “another dog” is not the beloved companion you just lost—in fact, it is not even close.
