Canines are our best friends and faithful companions who are with us when we laugh and who comfort us when we cry.
It’s their unconditional love and unwavering support that give us strength to move forward when we go through difficult times.
A giant-hearted woman named Melissa needed a ton of love after she had a miscarriage that left her and her husband heartbroken.
While the couple was trying to cope with their sadness and loss, her husband came up with the idea of getting a pup.
Although Melissa wanted to have a baby first, she realized that welcoming a dog into their lives would be a great step in building their family.

Shortly after the adorable pup arrived at their home and brightened their days, Melissa got pregnant again.

Sadly, the family faced another heartbreak because Melissa had to end her pregnancy due to some medical issues.
Simon was great at reading his parents’ emotions and he immediately noticed their grief.
