Losing a pet feels like losing a part of yourself. They weren’t just animals—they were companions, confidants, and family. Their absence creates an empty space, leaving behind quiet moments and loneliness that can be hard to explain. Grieving a pet is deeply personal, layered with emotions like sadness, guilt, and anger. You may feel regretful over the things left undone. Memories bring both tears and smiles as the pain of their absence clashes with the joy they brought.

Pet grief is still grief – this book about pet grief recovery offers emotional validation and practical guidance for your path toward healing. Pet loss is one of life's hardest emotional experiences.

Molti cani, soprattutto quelli che provengono dalle organizzazioni per la protezione degli animali, non hanno avuto esperienze positive nella loro vita precedente e sono traumatizzati o timorosi. Questo spesso si manifesta con comportamenti diversi in situazioni diverse. Ad esempio, un cane esprime la sua paura attraverso l'aggressione al guinzaglio se un altro cane si avvicina troppo, se incontra ciclisti o corridori o una persona che vuole accarezzare il cane impaurito.
