Quotes and Sayings for the Loss of a Pet<\/p><\/div>\n

There are hundreds of poems, songs, books, and more that express the devastating loss of a human friend or relative. Whether you are preparing a reading for the funeral or hoping to find comfort from meaningful quotes, you are likely to encounter plenty of different options. When you lose a pet, however, the search may be more difficult. That’s because although pets can be such an important part of our lives, they aren’t traditionally mourned the same way. <\/span><\/p>\n

These words of wisdom won’t make your heart whole again, but they can help ease your pain and let you know that you aren’t alone in your feelings of loss for a beloved pet. (These can also be helpful if you would like to send a pet condolence card to a friend and want to show your support.)<\/span><\/p>\n

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.” – Will Rogers<\/span><\/p>\n

“You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.” – Robert Louis Stevenson<\/span><\/p>\n
