I pity the person that hasn't has that "one" pet, the special one, that came a the perfect time, was your soul mate, understood you better than any human ever could, your best friend. I also hurt deeply for that person when, as all pets do, move "over the rain bow bridge", or as mine do, "go to college" because that just makes me an empty nester, not a grieving pet parent. This book captures every nuance if these special relationships. Who of us hasn't spoken to our fur family? I know I hear them answer back, with their eyes, a tail wag or a hiss. I for one have whole conversations with mine. This book touched on every emotion, excitement of meeting our new family member, gowning pains, joy of life, all the steps of grief when we hear the news, denial, bartering, acceptance and the others, the bottom of your soul wrenching pain when we have to make that final decision for our beloved. You must read this book, even if you are not a dog person, or a cat person, or a snake person, if you are human, this book will make you feel all the feelings.
