person A: I was really missing my dog Freddy today. He passed away recently at age 16. He was my constant companion.
person B: Oh_comma_ I"m sorry to hear that! I know how hard that can be to lose a loved pet.
person A: He was special. We've been lucky to have rescued and rehabilitated many animals over the years.  We have two insane cats today.
person B: Well_comma_ I hope you feel better soon!
person A: Thank you_comma_ that is very kind.
