520    "A heartfelt exploration of human grief after the loss of 
       a pet by the New York Times bestselling author of Dogs 
       Never Lie About Love. Over 84 million Americans-almost 3/4
       of the US population-own a pet, and our society is still 
       learning how to recognize and dignify that relationship 
       with proper mourning rituals. We have only recently 
       allowed the conversation of how to grieve for our non-
       human family members to come front and center. Lost 
       Companions fills a specific, important demand, a massive 
       need in the market for an accessible, meaningful book on 
       pet loss. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson takes a very personal,
       heartfelt approach to this difficult subject, allowing 
       readers to explore their own responses and reactions, 
       suggesting ways through and out of grief, as well as 
       meaningful ways to memorialize our best friends. Lost 
       Companions is full of moving, thought-provoking and 
       poignant stories about dogs, cats, horses, birds, wombats 
       and other animals that beautifully illustrate the strong 
       bond humans form with them"--|cProvided by publisher.
