Pets as Family: Love, Loss, and the Laws Catching Up With Maribeth Decker
from Why Do Pets Matter? Hosted by Debra Hamilton, Esq. · host Debra Hamilton, Esq.
This week on Why Do Pets Matter, I’m joined once again by the incredible Maribeth Decker for a conversation straight from the heart. We’re talking about a groundbreaking legal case that recognizes pets as immediate family, why our animals inspire us to be the people they think we are, and how to navigate the toughest moments with love and compassion. From celebrating the bonds we share to making difficult end-of-life decisions, this episode is a reminder that pets are never “just property”, they are family.
