Having a pet is an exciting one. I have a pet and I have put my attention and focus on him since then, but when he died, I almost die too! I could not imagine myself walking down the street without it. He became my best friend too! But I moved on, now, my son have his first dog pet in which we loved so much and give everything it needs. I just read this book in advanced because I know someday that dog will leave us. At least I have something to do for my son’s grief on that day. I can help him moved on.
