Dear Jenna,

I am so sorry to hear that your dog Bruno died last week after being sick for a month. Losing a pet can be extremely depressing and I sincerely hope you can get through this tough time.

He was always energetic and eager to go to the park, I remember how he used to scratch the door and cuddle my knees when he wanted to be let out. With his big eyes and furry body, there is no creature more affectionate than him. It is difficult to overcome this deep loss so I’d suggest you try to keep yourself occupied. You are welcome to visit me anytime here. We could see the movie that you wanted to watch and go for shopping.

The easiest way to move on would be to get a new friend to accompany you. While it may seem like replacing one for another, but it is necessary to cope with the emptiness you may feel at times. I pray for the best for you.

Yours faithfully,

Rishi
