a beautiful and artistic homage to pets!

FINALLY ALLOWED TO WEEP FOR A PET
Animal lovers face a double problem when a pet dies. The sense of loss can equal that which we feel for a human; but many people look askance at the person who mourns a pet. After all, it was "just" an animal.Michele Lanci-Altomare's touchingly beautiful book, "Good-Bye My Friend," gives us, finally, permission to weep. The book is a loving compendium of poems and essays written by a variety of people on the deaths of their pets, combined with tender photographs of pet cemeteries and individual graves in the U.S., England and Canada. If you have a friend who has recently lost
a pet--or if you've lost one yourself--a gift of this book is a gift of comfort.
