I've written this book by drawing on my own experiences of the heart wrenching emotions that follow the death of a beloved dog.

I've lost four dogs and grieved for each one. I still grieve for each one, but differently now - in a happier way, a way that brings back fond memories that make me smile, not cry.

I hope this book will help you get closer to that place, too - a place in which you can look back on the time you spent with your dog, and laugh, not cry.

I've covered a few topics in this book, including;

What is grief?

Dealing with guilt

Understanding other people's reactions to the death of your dog

Laying your dog to rest

Coming to terms with the loss of your dog

How to speak to children about the loss

Memorialising your dog
