Peter and Rocco | Losing a Pet and Best Friend

In this episode I meet with Peter from Pennsylvania who tells me the story about his dog, Rocco, a Rottweiler with whom he developed a strong bond. They became best friends, but just at 3 years old, Rocco fell ill and they were unable to save him. Peter tells the touching story of their bond, how it developed, and how he has dealt with losing his pal. He discovered cherished emblems, which gave him the opportunity to always remember and keep his buddy with him always.How he came to get Rocco 2:31Finding Rocco 5:59Taking classes with Rocco 16:23Getting a big splinter and falling ill 18:15Finding Cherished Emblems 30:24Dealing with grief 40:39“I had no idea how it was gonna be with me being present in the procedure, but I wanted to be there.
