☆ What Dogs Can Teach Us About Love and Grief
  + stars: | 2023-12-02 | by ( Gretchen Tarrant Gulla | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Owning a dog can teach a person as much about herself as about her companion, The Wall Street Journal’s Katherine Bindley reflected in a recent essay. From the beginning, owning a dog requires both love and resolve. But the most enduring lesson a dog can teach might be its last, according to hundreds of Journal readers who read and commented on Bindley’s essay. The inevitable passing of a pet and the processing of the subsequent grief is a powerful lesson in resilience. Richard Nelson of Wascott, Wis., is all too familiar with the anguish that comes with losing a pet.
