"Such a Good Girl" | pet loss, grief and finding presence through loss
Loading player...
For eleven years, Nova was there. Through hospital nights, panic attacks, and the quietest, hardest moments no one else saw.
This is a deeply personal story about pet loss, the grief we don't always give ourselves permission to feel, and what it means to lose a companion who witnessed everything without judgment.
It explores the unconditional bond between humans and animals, the impossible decisions that come with a pet's final days, and the quiet, holy nature of a connection beyond words.
This is Rue's story about the dogs she's loved, and saying goodbye to one who knew her best.
