If you are currently, or have ever been a pet owner, you know that your pets really become a part of your family. When you lose a pet that has grown up with your children, been by your side through thick and thin, and welcomes you home every day, it can be really hard on everyone in the family.
Just like losing a loved one, the only thing that softens the pain of losing a pet is time.
While you will never have another cat, dog, bird, fish, or any other pet just like the last, for many people, giving a home to another animal in need and channeling their sadness into love for another animal can be quite relieving.
For one grandmother who lost her 10-year-old dog, a puppy was the perfect gift to lift her spirits and keep her company. And a new puppy for a disabled mom who recently lost her dog? Such a gift could be life-changing.
Whatever your reasoning for wanting a pet, giving an animal a good home and lots of love is never a bad thing.
For the family in this video, the loss of their pug "Jimbo" left an empty space in their home. It affected them so much that one of the daughters decided to take things into her own hands, getting a job to buy a brand new pug puppy to give to her mom just in time for Mother's Day.
We can't imagine a better gift!
