  • Highly recommend this compassionate book to ease in pets’ aging and death

    I have read this book several times and gifted copies to friends and family as their pets approach death or have died. Compelling content about how we as humans can navigate the process and make sound decisions to save our pets from suffering. Jon Katz writes with lots of heart that helped soothe me as my pets aged and passed on. Highly recommend.
