Michigan House Fire Tragically Claim The Lives of 3 Dogs & 3 Cats

For somebody who almost lost his dog unexpectedly, I know the pain of going through the loss of a pet brings on a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety. But it’s mostly the pain of losing our loved one that makes it very difficult to navigate through the emotions.

Pets like dogs and cats, especially ones that identify as Therapy and service animals I literally members of our family, which makes the story out of Battle Creek so difficult to talk about recently three dogs and three cats perished in the housefire in Battle Creek, as the WWMT reported:

Firefighters were called to a home on Van Buren Street near Penn Street just before 2:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the Battle Creek Fire Department. When they arrived, firefighters found flames from a first-floor window and quickly began to extinguish the fire. No injuries were reported, however, three dogs and three cats died in the fire.

As unfortunate as these losses can be, it brings me some comfort that we have different associations in the country that help people cope with the loss of their pets.

A nonprofit group that's knowledgeable about the tender subject of pet death and dedicated to helping people during their bereavement. The website contains an extensive list of pet loss resources.

Just remember that we know the pain is real, but you are not alone and we are all here for each other to get through the tough times.
