Nobody knows when a heart is beating its last beats. Losing someone you love is hard on everyone involved. You feel very sad and upset for a while. However, over time the pain will lessen. My friend learned that losing an animal can feel like losing a family member.

While she was at a sleepover something fell and killed her pet puppy. At the time of the accident, she was 9 years old. Her dog was a girl named Falyn. When Falyn died she was 3 months old. She left for a sleepover and left Falyn home. There was a board that they left unattached to the house. The board fell on top of Falyn and killed her. The girl saw Falyns dead body and she said that the body was warm. They disposed of the body properly. She was very upset by the death of Falyn.

Her recovery took time but she did not do it alone she had help from her family. Her recovery from losing her pet took a few months to heal. She said that a lot was the same other than she no longer had a big responsibility. She no longer had to feed, take her out, and had no one to hug and cuddle with. Her family also dealt with Falyn’s death. Because Falyn was a family pet.

she is now fourteen years old and is five years older than the day Falyn died. She was a student at Lawrence schools but now is a Bangor student. She does not believe everything happens for a reason because some things that happen are not fair. She does not blame herself for Falyn dying. She did, however, say that she did wish the board was attached to the wall. If she had attached the board Falyn would have survived.

Sometimes leaving something unattended can have a big consequence. Even though everything seems okay in front of you, someone else is struggling. The falling of a board can crush a little girl's dreams. Which makes you realize to appreciate what you have when you have it.
