Bristo, a female Boxer belonging to our eldest daughter, died recently from a combination of age (13 years) and various ailments that are common in dogs of that type.

Discussion Questions
  1. Describe your experience with the loss of a pet. How was it explained to you (or how did you explain it to others)?
  2. At what time or age should we explain the true finality of physical death to children? Why this time or age?
  3. How would you explain the death of a close relative like an uncle, aunt, or grandfather to a 10-year-old child? Why this approach?
