This is my friend, my dog, my pet. A few hours ago, my sister told me of the lost of her friend, her pet, her dog. And then she said that she did not want to discuss it any further.

Oh! yes, as a pet owner, we have heard that famous saying that, as long as the pet is living in our hearts, that pet will be alive. Well, that is true only to a point. The grief is real and as almost unbearable. If these sounds silly to you, then you have my sympathy and I can only wish that one day soon you too will know what it is like to have a friend.
