How a Dog Carried Us Through Grief

from The David Magee Show · host That Sounds Fun Network

Sometimes the help we need most comes from the most unexpected places—a stranger, a friend, even a pet. For our family, it was a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Lady. After we lost William, there were few reasons to get out of bed in the morning. One of them was Lady, who insisted on her daily walks. Step by step, those early mornings became small but steady moments of healing as she pulled us along. In this episode, my wife, Kent, joins me to share the story of how one dog helped keep us moving forward. It’s a story for anyone who has ever loved a dog, or who knows the weight of grief and the surprising places healing can be found.
