Grieving and Loving my Extraordinary Dogs by Lise Dupont McLain tells the author's stories of dealing with the loss of her dogs, and how readers can heal after the loss of their dogs. In personal essays, McLain tells how each dog was adopted into her family and loved, no matter if they had been a strays, from the pound, or inherited from a family member. She tells each dog's story with detail and shares memories of the good times. Sharing ways to cope with the loss of a dog or other pet, the author includes what she did to remember her furry friends including writing poems, framing pictures, writing obituaries, planting trees, and spreading ashes. Including advice about finding veterinarians who you can trust, recognizing good intentions that will have bad results, and using the power of perspective, McLain helps readers through bereaving the loss of a pet with stories and personal narratives.
