'Baldwin’s and Winton’s words came fresh to me over the weekend, as I lay our dog’s body into the cold, cold ground. Cinder, a black, beloved miniature schnauzer, had a great life, if one cut cruelly short. She was a happy, cherished animal, who knew we loved her. Like pets across the country and the world in recent years, Cinder got our family through a horrible time. After several trips to the vet and emergency vet, medications, pain relief and surgery, we have had to let Cinder the miniature schnauzer go; the vet had told us there was no hope of recovery.' (Introduction)
