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.
