Tora was a contestant in our Best Pet Photo competitions earlier this year, her bright and bubbly personality shining through her photo. She had a calcium deficiency and unfortunately passed away in May due to liver failure. Her family are heartbroken over losing their little friend and we would like to pass on our deepest sympathies. 

Whether a pet dies, is lost or stolen, or must be placed in a new home, our Pet Bereavement Forum is the place to gather together to give and receive love and support when you experience the loss of a beloved pet. Remember you're not alone..

Parley Nicholas, 81 and his dog Lady were never apart throughout the last six years of his life. The two were best friends and did everything together. On April the 8th Parley went missing after developing dementia and Lady was no where to be found either.
