True story. One of the funniest episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show was “Chuckles Bites The Dust.” The writers and cast thought it was great, but the producers were afraid that putting the subject of death in a comedy show would be offensive.
After the show ran, most of the reactions were positive, but they did get a lot of hate mail as well. Most of the people who wrote had recently lost pets.

I had a Greyhound once , an ex-racer, whose breath was so bad we called her death-breath, I loved that dog!

Thankfully, dogs also have souls (they must do as they’re capable of love) and so we’ll meet our four legged pals again.
Cats too of course.

Losing a beloved pet is tough. I, for one, believe in the Rainbow Bridge. My condolences.

You KNOW he’s going to lick your face with that stinky mouth the first chance he gets, right?
