So easy for this kind of thing to happen. A dog is often the most important person in a human’s life. My late father weathered the deaths of his three siblings without too much visible trouble. However, when his 12 year old Beagle died, he was devastated and his visible grief and mourning lasted for months.

For more than a year and a half I've traveled across America with a small dog riding in my lap the entire way. She has seen 18 states, been to more landmarks and met more people than most humans. She's been the perfect little traveling companion.

Can't imagine doing all of that without her.

I can sympathize with this gentleman.

One of my dogs has been missing since last Friday. I have cried every day since. I’m still aggressively searching and posting my dog’s info, but no luck. I just want to know my baby’s fate, even if it is bad news.

I’m sorry that your father had to experience that. Pets are family.
