They made a movie of that wretched book, too. I still haven't forgiven my husband for putting it on the TV. Yank your heart out. Heck, I can't even watch "Lassie Come Home" without sniveling. Keep that stuff away from me! It's bad enough losing my own dogs, without watching or reading heartwrenching stories like those!
But I do love the idea of memorial gardens and special flowers for our lost little ones.
