2 comments about Dog Gone : Coping With the Loss of a Pet REVISED.

1. Earlier this week our family suffered the loss of another beloved dog. After the initial shock lessened I remembered
   what I call "The Grady Book". Up to attic I went and dug it out so that I could share it with my 7yr. old twin granddaughters. I knew Mr. Bronson during the time he was writing this book, my daughter Robin was his childrens' Nanny. I remember how concerned and caring he was regarding his girls feelings about Gradys death.
   I felt that the book was just what my family needed this week, and as expected, it helped us all. We will all miss the big black Lab that has a part of the family for so long, but we will also remember the good times and smile.



2. I had recently lost my 12 yr. old Old English Sheepdog. He meant a great deal to me. In an attempt to cope with my feelings of loss, I found this book and ordered it. Little did I know the author would be writing about the loss of his OES, Grady. The author explains what it was like for him to lose Grady in a way that will touch your own feelings of loss. You will smile, remember little things, and shed some tears along the way. The book is a quick read, and is very easy for the average person to understand. The book has helped me to understand that I am not the only person to struggle with the loss of their companion. I highly recommend it for any dog lover, but especially OES lovers.

1. I lived on an acreage for eleven years and had cows, ducks, chickens, pigs, geese, turkeys, cats, dogs and even a goat as pets. Since that time, my pets have been fish and cats. It is a colossal understatement to say that you learn a great deal from your pets. You find that they are very smart and often have an incredible memory for detail. They also provide us so much comfort, there is something incredibly relaxing about having a cat curl up in your lap and take a nap.
   In this book, Pomerance describes the joys of having a pet, the companionship, acceptance and tolerance they have for us. They give us a sense of purpose, which is perhaps the purpose for which nature intended them. In fact, it can be argued that one of the first actions that led to the development of civilization was when dogs were domesticated to aid in the hunt. With their keen sense of smell, it became impossible for large predators to ever successfully approach a human encampment from upwind. Their fierce loyalty and bravery no doubt did a great deal to aid in the early phases of the increase in human population.
   Written and illustrated at the level of an elementary school child, this book demonstrates all of the wonders, joys and advantages of having a pet. The duty and responsibilities of having a pet are also explained.



2. ANIMAL COMPANIONS is a very nice quick read for anyone who loves animals and considers them family members. Actually it is a great read for friends and family members of animal lovers who really don't understand the bond four legged critters forge with their two legged guardians. I found it to be very insightful.

5 comments about Good-Bye My Friend: Pet Cemeteries, Memorials, and Other Ways to Remember.

1. This heartfelt book about deceased pets and the memorials their owners have made for them will strike a beautiful chord in the hearts of anyone who has ever loved and/or owned an animal. As a photographer myself I was immediately moved by the colorful images, predominately pola transfers and infrared shots, that adorn the pages throughout. The list of resources towards the back are also a great addition for pet owners interested in creating their own special memorial to their truest friends who have departed. I highly recommend this book to any pet lovers' book collection.



2. I love this book. Anyone who has ever loved and lost an animal friend will love this book. Anyone fond of cemeteries will love this book. The author's heart speaks to us through touching stories and beautiful images. She allows us to share in a universal love and remeberance of our animal companions. Not everyone understands the place they share in our lives. Through this book we can feel we are not alone and find some comfort during one of the most difficult times in our lives, the loss of a beloved friend.



3. This 1st edition with the beautifully done cover is both thought provoking and deeply emotional as well as indispensable for those who have lost a dear pet/"child".
   Highly recommended.



4. This books not only celebrates the beauty found in pet cemetaries, but the beauty found in the human/animal bond. Michele illustrates through her magnificent photos how deep and eternal the love can be for the animals in people's lives. The stories told are endearing, encouraging the reader to reflect on his own fond memories of the pets in his life. "Goodbye, My Friend" is a gracious tip-of-the-hat to pets and petowners everywhere!



5. Animal lovers face a double problem when a pet dies. The sense of loss can equal that which we feel for a human; but many people look askance at the person who mourns a pet. After all, it was "just" an animal.

   Michele Lanci-Altomare's touchingly beautiful book, "Good-Bye My Friend," gives us, finally, permission to weep. The book is a loving compendium of poems and essays written by a variety of people on the deaths of their pets, combined with tender photographs of pet cemeteries and individual graves in the U.S., England and Canada. If you have a friend who has recently lost
   a pet--or if you've lost one yourself--a gift of this book is a gift of comfort.

1. A wonderful book examining pet loss from multiple perspectives as observed by a humble country veterinarian.Through his career as a farmer, student, and professional caregiver, the pain of losing a loved one remains constant. Dr. Orzeck shares personal tragedies, as well as those of his friends and colleagues. A touching portrayal of the pain we all endure when a beloved pet is lost, regardless of species or circumstances.



2. Dr. Orzeck addresses some difficult issues in euthansia with a sense of wonderment and love towards animals. The book brings both tears and joy as "Doc" describes many of the creatures that he has enjoyed in life and grieved in death. As a veterinarian, he has illuminated one of the hardest chores an animal doctor has to perform with both compassion and sensitivity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves animals, anyone who aspires to be a veterinarian or anyone who has recently lost a pet.



3. A must read for anyone who shares his or her life with a pet, or has loved and lost a pet.

   From his dedication page to his closing sentence, Dr. Orzeck will captivate the reader with his endless empathy and anguish of dealing with the death of animals. Written with candor, this gentle and compassionate country vet tells of unforgettable animals. These are animals he must enthanize due to old age, trauma, illness, and owner neglect and selfishness. Each animal's story will leave you deeply touched; you feel the doctor's own heartbreak and pain at the loss of each innocent life.
