Until one has Loved an animal,
a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
~Anatole France~
The grief associated with the loss of a pet,
regardless of whether the loss was expected,
sudden or constrained, is often not understood
by those around us. People whom have never given
their heart to an animal cannot understand the pain
of losing him or her. However, the pain felt can be
as strong as that of losing a cherished friend.
