This brought tears to my eyes. Maura. We have two dogs, Arab Salukis we rescued in 2011-13 and brought back from the Middle East with us in late 2017. We have been through a lot together. My son calls them his brothers. One is my soul mate. God willing, we will have a few more years with them but who knows? Your article is mental preparation for what's to come. Thank you.
Our dogs burrow deep into our hearts and never leave there. Along the way they teach us unconditional love. Our dog “Kula” in Sanskrit means “family of the heart”. That’s Molly’s legacy, too. 💕🐾 🐾
Loved this!! We have two dogs, Murphy (named after the Irish Murphy’s Irish Stout, one of our favorites) and Bauer (named after a hockey equipment company)! They are 14 and 12 respectively! I dread the day—thanks so
much for sharing your Molly, Ginger, Zoey and Bella—all lucky dogs!!
Beautiful writing. A few years ago, we lost three dogs in a short period of time. Each one as painful as all the others, but there is always that one that just takes a piece of hearts with them. Left with one dog, my life felt like a void. Then my Mum passed away, and I inherited her dog (Spencer). Shortly after that, I rescued a stray dog (Waka). The house slowly felt happier again. I know how hard it is open your heart again, but the rewards are great when we do.

Well done, my friend.
I am a puddle.
Maura, I loved this column. I know how hard it is to lose a good dog - particularly in such a sudden and heartless way.

What a beautiful tribute to a very good dog, and a testament to the ability to love again after a devastating loss.
