After Losing Her Dog, This Woman Created This Heartbreaking Comic, And It Will Make You Cry
Saying goodbye is never easy, but digital artist Jen-Jen Rose had to force out one of the hardest ones in her life. When her beloved dog Penni passed away, Jen-Jen was devastated. The artist, however, felt like there were still things she didn’t have the chance to tell her, so she has created a farewell letter to express her feelings, and it’s so sincere, it touched our souls.
“She was originally meant to be a hunting dog for my dad, but she was far too gentle for that,” Jen-Jen told Bored Panda. “She ended up becoming a family dog instead. She joined our family when I was around 11 years old, right before things in my life started getting quite rough.”
Jen-Jen confessed that she experienced troubles both inside and outside her home. “My parents fought a lot, and I got bullied in school. At home, I’d sit in the corner and cry a lot, but she would always come sit with me. She’d rest her head on me, and lick my tears. Those were very fond memories I had with her, and her companionship was exactly what I needed during that time.”
“Love your pets,” Jen-Jen said. “And always let them know they are loved.”
Jen-Jen has developed a colorful and vibrant illustration style, but this time she has decided to pair her words with black-and-white drawings, and the juxtaposition between her powerful, emotional words and simple lines works perfectly.

This is so sad, yet so true and proving that the littlest things, like the way their ear twitches when you scratch their neck you'll find you miss the most.

My old dog is 16 now. Everyday just to see him still breathing, fighting to be alive makes me happy

Its strange yet comforting how so many people can connect with one set of drawings like this. Many people can relate and I think that even though when people lose the loved animals in their life, they will know that they will always be there in their heart, so they are always truely alive.

Lovely pictures, beautiful, heartbreaking but with great memories of a amazing bond and relationship. As a dog owner who has already lost 2 dogs over the years it really is one of the saddest times i have had, i have felt sadder than when family members have died. My current furry best friend is only 9 so he has a few years left yet (touch wood) i know the absolute devastation and heartbreak that will follow when i lose him, just thinking about makes gives me a lump in my throat, me and wife talk about the day it comes and we both choke up, we really do love him more than life itself. RIP to your beautiful dog, i'm glad you had each other for the time you did.

Pets have such an incredible impact on our lives. I'm sure the dog loved his owner just as much as she loved him
