Amy SedarisSometimes losing a pet is more painful than losing a human because in the case of the pet, you were not pretending to love it.
About This Quote
In the case of a pet, it is obvious that you really love the animal. You don't pretend to love it. The fact that you were willing to make such a large investment in it without even thinking about what might happen if something happened to it shows the depth of your affection and your commitment to taking care of it even though it is not yours. Losing something you love and that you would do anything for is always painful and difficult, but losing something that was never yours is even more painful and difficult.
