Many of us have experienced the loss of a beloved dog. While it’s always a sad experience, there are ways to make yourself feel better, like remembering the good times you had with your pet or paying it forward to other dogs.
That’s what one grieving dog dad did in memory of his late pet, setting up a heartwarming tribute that’s making many people emotional.
Jason Dunne, from Exmouth, England, said goodbye to his beloved dog Rex earlier this month. “My heart is physically hurting but I’m so so grateful to have shared your existence,” Jason wrote on Twitter. “The best boy there ever was.”
He wrote that Rex was put down at the vet, and that his end was painless and peaceful. But Jason was still left reeling after the death of his dog, and wanted to find a way to memorialize Rex.
He remembered the walks he would take on the beach with Rex: Jason said that Rex loved dogs and people and they would often meet other dog owners.
“I’ve met so many people on walks over our 14 years together and I couldn’t tell you their names, but I could name their dogs and they all knew Rex’s name,” Jason told East Devon News.
