It is basically explaining how pets are missed deeply by their 'owners' when they pass away and that the intense emotions we feel when we lose our beloved animals can make us feel guilty sometimes as many people believe 'it was only an animal' and expect you to just get on with life.
If you think what animals offer us it is not surprising that we miss them so much when they pass away.
The relationship we develop with them can be less complicated than those we have with humans.
Dogs, for example, are enthusiastic, loving and loyal. These are all qualities that we admire and benefit from.We learn so much from animals.
When someone loses a pet, they go through grief, just as they do when they lose a human.
If someone you know is grieving the loss of anyone or anything, I believe that what they need from you is to feel that they can talk about the way that they feel and that you will not judge them.
Having someone who cares and listens is so valuable to people.
