I am sorry your dog died. Our pets are very important in our lives particularly when times are stressful
For many people pets provide loving companionship, and take us just the way we are
Certainly if you lost your dog, you have lost something very special

This is an excellent description of how I feel.

congratulations this is a sign of hope
