The bond between people and their pets is special – and unique. Our pets enrich our lives everyday, in obvious and subtle ways. Whether it is an affectionate rub from your purring cat, or the concerned look you get from your dog, pets provide warmth and companionship just when we need it most. Over the years, a very special relationship develops. When the time comes, it can be difficult and painful to say goodbye.
