Dog Loss Quotes

“You will never know loneliness when you have a dog, when you lose that dog it will be loneliness like you've never known.”
― Michael P. Naughton

“The one imperfect aspect of this near-perfect relationship, our bond with dogs, is its lack of longevity. They live such brief lives, and if there’s one thing that intensifies the sense of loss we experience when they die, it’s the fact that our grief tends to be pathologized, considered excessive and misdirected, even silly.”
― Caroline Knapp (Author)

“The loss is as particular and profound as the intimacy, and the depth of mourning it sets off can shock people, for we’re often not fully aware of how many voids the dog has filled until he’s no longer there, no longer filling those spaces in his able, silent way.”
― Caroline Knapp (Author)
