So saddened to learn about the loss of Dr Frans de Waal announced in the Dutch outlet NRC. If you’re a geek about animal behavior and animal ethics you’ll understand how devastating the news feels. He‘s one of those academics you want to learn directly from and the closest I got was devouring his books and papers on animal social behaviors. Among many accomplishments over his cover he studied and proved primates (and other animals) like us value relationships experiencing empathy, cooperation and reciprocity. Thank you for dedicating your life to helping us all understand our animal friends just a little more. RIP

Over time we developed a shared mutual respect, trust and authentic love for each other. They were my teachers on my journey to growing compassion while understanding dogs. Today while I may still shed tears I am truly okay with their loss. Sad and grateful at the same time for all of the memories we shared. As much as you can, be present and experience the love of your four legged family members.

The Loss Pet Loss As pet guardians, one of the most challenging experiences to live through is the loss and grief of our beloved companions. Death is a part of the natural life cycle of all living beings. Yet, when we acquire a pet, we intentionally, or not, sweep the notion of pet loss right under the rug f...
