Pet Loss Quotes

“I don’t even know if I can say I’m over the grief, because there’s no upper limit to that. Everyone has their own time, it’s not a race to see who gets there first.

At your own pace, in the way you prefer and with whoever you feel comfortable with.”

“You think the final act of love is setting them free to Rainbow Bridge? That is not the final act of love. The final act of love is releasing them from your leash of grief so they can be free in the heaven on the other side of the Bridge. Until you resolve your grief, you bind them to you in the land between Heaven and Earth while they wait, suspended between the worlds, for you to heal. When you are free of your grief, they are free of your grief.”

“He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion. Our dogs will love and admire the meanest of us, and feed our colossal vanity with their uncritical homage.”

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.”

“To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.”

“There is no death, only a change of worlds.”

“You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.”

“If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons.”

“Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.”

“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”

“The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's.”

“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

“Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate.”
