My dog, Rufus, completely changed my life in ways I never thought possible...my love for him became a love for all animals and has affected what I eat, where I go, how I spend my time and money, my daily priorities, etc. It would've been unbelievable to me 2 years ago that my love for 1 dog could change my life so profoundly. It is unbelievable to me now that I went so long without realizing how amazing and transformative animals can really be. My heartfelt sympathies to Rob and Mari. I hope they can find continuing comfort in knowing how much Tyler changed the world for so many other animals. His legacy truly is a lasting one.

This furry blessing obviously touched many lives and that is truly a gift from God. What a wonderful tribute to Tyler. Tyler, Rob and Mari are an inspiration to all of us who love animals.

Tyler truly was a gift to all of us. I know the pain that Mari and Rob are going through right now. It's not easy. It will never go away. Time just dulls it and there will be days when the pain will be greater than other days. Tyler will never be forgotten. He will continue to be an inspiration to others. We will continue to bring other people to your organization. God bless. Very well written piece for a beloved dog. Tyler truly was a gift to all of us.

This story and ritual helped me immensely when I lost my beautiful Buffy. It was given to me by Cara Fernandez, of Kindred Hearts Pet Bereavement Services. We were fortunate to have such a service in our town. There are so few rituals for grieving the loss of a pet. Please pass it on to anyone that could use it. I twittered it to Rob but I don’t know if he’ll read it. If you think it would help, please pass it on to him and Mari. http://www.kindredheartshome.com/pdfs/MOURNING%20FLOWER.pdf My heart goes out to Rob, Mari and all of those that loved Tyler.
