From the beloved author of A Dog Year and Soul of a Dog comes this moving meditation on coping with the loss of the animals that have enriched our lives, a must-have resource for anyone who has lost a pet, now perfectly priced and formatted as a trade paperback.

In this invaluable guide and touchstone, New York Times bestselling author Jon Katz addresses the difficult but necessary topic of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. Drawing on personal experiences, stories from fellow pet owners, and philosophical reflections, Katz provides support for those in mourning. By allowing ourselves to grieve honestly and openly, he posits, we can in time celebrate the dogs, cats, and other creatures that have so enriched us. Katz compels us to consider if we gave our pets good lives, if we were their advocates in times of need, and if we used our best judgments in the end. In dealing with these issues, we can alleviate guilt, let go, and help others who are undergoing similar passages. By honoring the animals that have graced our lives, we reveal their truly timeless gifts- unwavering companionship and undying love.

With a brand-new Foreword by the author
