Heartbreak

"Unable to come to terms with the death of their pet dog, an elderly couple in southern India committed suicide by hanging themselves, police said on Monday."

I have heard a quote, and I'm not sure if I've got it accurately, that says a dog will do two things in your life: win your heart, then break your heart. It is awfully hard when a beloved pet dies. The grief is intense and can last quite a while.

On the other hand, life goes on, and you can't let it take you down such a dark path that you give up on life yourself. When things are this bad, that is what professional counseling is for.

That is also what a new dog or puppy is for...
