Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
Yesterday was it for our dog. His name was Dexter and he was black and white Pomeranian. We got him from a local pet store just a year ago. Unfortunately he lived a very short life. Early yesterday morning, my dad was pulling his truck out because he was gonna go fishing. As he pulled the truck out, Dexter walked underneath the truck, unaware that the truck was still moving. Although it was hard for my dad to see him. As the truck was still moving, he stopped and was crushed by the back end of the tire. I was in bed at the time, but if I was awake watching my dad pull out, without a doubt I would've told my dad to stop and our dog would've been alive today. Unfortunately that wasnt the case. He died instantly. He was a great dog and I'll NEVER forget him. It hurts me thinking about him being dead. I'm trying to cope with it the best I can. I just hope he's in a better place now. I love him forever
Like others have told me, take the time to grieve your pet and cry/scream/talk it, whatever helps!
Pls let us know how you get on
