What vast emptiness they leave in our hearts once they’re gone. 
Agreed. I've lost a dozen or so beloved dogs in my almost 65 years. Each one left their own particular hole. But I always remember that there are others out there who, if I do nothing, will never know the life of a spoiled and much loved companion and friend. I give it a month or two and then return to the Animal Rescue League and save another one from living a very short and unhappy life. I can't save them all but I can save a few.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
