Paperback / softback
Description
From the moment we first open our homes - and our hearts - to a new pet, we know that one day we will have to watch this beloved animal age and die.
The pain of that eventual separation is the cruel corollary to the love we share with them, and most of us deal with it by simply ignoring its inevitability.
With The Last Walk, Jessica Pierce makes a forceful case that our pets, and the love we bear them, deserve better.
Drawing on the moving story of the last year of the life of her own treasured dog, Ody, she presents an in-depth exploration of the practical, medical, and moral issues that trouble pet owners confronted with the decline and death of their companion animals.
The Last Walk asks - and answers - the toughest questions pet owners face.
The result is informative, moving, and consoling in equal parts; no pet lover should miss it.
