The love human beings have for their pets runs deep.
And when it is time for us to say goodbye to them, that love offers us comfort. At just 4 years of age, Abby Merryn already understood this when she had to say goodbye to Bailey, her loving cat.
Even though she was just a little child, Abby already had a life filled with warm memories thanks to Bailey.

Erin’s Instagram post read:
“He was one in a million who allowed two little girls to give him baths, feed him in high chairs, push him strollers, dress him up, put fake makeup on him, rock him in cradles, sit at a table while they fed him plastic food, sleep with them at nap time and bedtime, among many other things.”
