This event comes a little more than a year after Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, lost their son,

So CBS is equating the death of their child with their loss of a couple of dogs?

I don’t think they are equating them. But it is very sad to lose a pet.

I caught that one too - really sick.

In no way does the story suggest that.

You so obviously want to turn this into a thread where you discount animals by needlessly pointing out their (obvious) inferiority to humans.

Were you bitten by an animal as a child or something? Get over it.

Both events are tragic, and only compound the Travolta's pain.

No, stop projecting your own bias into the story.

For pet owners who regard their pets as part of the family, it’s a family loss. They weren’t equating them, they are pointing out the fact it seems their losses are ongoing beginning with the tradgedy of losing their son last year under horrible circumstances.

If the reporter had not mentioned that the Travolta’s lost their son last year, then I guarantee you that some people would be complaining how insensitive the reporter is, to write about the death of the two dogs, yet fail to mention the far greater tragedy of the death of their son a year ago.

As I skim this thread.... I see a lot of FReepers are equating the same thing.
 
Sad.

I hope not, but in the grand scheme of things, losing their dogs in this tragic accident can only intensify their feelings of loss regarding their son, Jett. And their young daughter must be suffering anew as well. It’s been a rough time for them and I wish them well.
