Letters: Grieving over a lost pet

Re “Unleashing raw emotions,” Column One, Oct. 25

Thank you for articulating the love between a human and a pet.

I have a beloved small dog who brings joy, forgiveness, unconditional love and better health (I walk him daily and he sleeps with me, which has been proved to lower blood pressure). He is kinder and more empathetic than most humans and is a gift from God.

Thank you for your understanding article.
