person A: In some ways_comma_ losing a pet dog is even worse than losing a relative. They're so innocent_comma_ they're so helpless. They don't deserve to have to die or suffer ever.
person B: Goodness_comma_ you're right about that. Plus a pet is the only thing to show unconditional and neverending love for you.
person A: Exactly_comma_ and they never demand anything from you. When my golden retriever Louie died a few weeks ago_comma_ I honestly thought I would die too.
person B: I'm so very sorry for your loss_comma_ I can only imagine that pain. I had to put my girl down 3 years ago and I promise that it does get easier.
person A: Thank you_comma_ that's good to hear. I find it pretty difficult to continue on most days...but I suppose it's starting to get easier.
