This truly touched my heart, sitting at my office job reading this with tears in my eyes. Dogs share the most unconditional love, makes me think of my doggy Presley. I’m sorry for your loss, but his love lives through you and will forever be imprinted on your life <3

Sorry for your loss. Although my cat is turning 11 this year, he’s a strong boy. We love him so dearly and reading about your family dog being surrounded by love makes me feel a little bit better about my cat. The most we can do is give them all of our love ❤️

aw Emilie I am so so sorry for your loss, but I like how you said “it’s not a sad story, it’s a love story.” You were lucky to love Bruno, and he was lucky to be loved by you. Thank you for sharing! I didn’t expect to cry reading substack!

This was so beautiful, as someone who also just recently lost their childhood dog, it is so hard! I still walk in the door waiting for her to greet me after 5 months.
