Toby's Tails - Saying Goodbye to Lucky
language
( Jan. 13, 2016)
Losing an animal is devastating for young and old alike. Our pets are part of our family and for many losing them is like losing a family member.
When we lost Lucky, our Golden Retriever, a dear companion who had been with us a long time, we were all devastated. Lucky was a key character in the very first Toby’s Tails book as Toby’s mentor, and I felt his passing couldn’t go unmarked.
I like many others believe that animals have souls. When I read that the Zulu and Ndebele people who live in southern Africa believe that the stars are their dead ancestors watching over them, I thought that this was wonderful. So I decide to write this book believing that this would be a gentle way of explaining to children, the passing of a loved pet, or human family member, and a way for them to come to terms with their loss.
I hope readers of this story will take away with them not only comfort and hope, but see it for what it is, a celebration of the character Lucky was, and will always be remembered as, every time we look at the night sky.
