Faithful Unto Death: Pet cemeteries, animal graves, and eternal devotion Paul Koudounaris ebook
The remarkable stories of beloved pets—from the famous and unusual to the everyday—memorialized at burial sites around the world, accompanied by a rich selection of archival photos and the author's evocative images of their final resting places.When a little dog named Cherry died in 1881, his owners arranged for a grave in a nearby gatekeeper's garden in London. At this time, the idea that a pet, even one that had lived as a family member, might be given a dignified burial was considered comical. But when other pet owners—likewise determined to memorialize their companion animals—followed suit, the world's first urban pet cemetery was born. More soon followed across Europe, the United States, and then the rest of the world, resulting in a revolution in the way we consider animals. Faithful Unto Death tells the stories of people who gave their hearts to a disparate variety of species, yet were all united in one common belief: that the reward at death for a faithful animal companion should reflect the love it offered during life.
