“If you have ever lost a beloved furry companion, you need to read this book!
All of them were more than just pets—they were members of my family. Losing them hit me harder than losing any human member of my family ever did. I sure could have used this book and the wisdom it holds back then.
Ann Harris writes with the heart of someone who has lived these experiences.
I have read it five times, and every time I read it, I get something new."

"I'm so very grateful for this group.
My family don't really understand the loss and enormity of my grief. To them a dog is just a dog, but to me and my children our pets are our world, our family. Each one with their own precious personality and unquestionable love."

"Ann, I am really grateful for the daily quotes. They are beautiful & meaningful and help me with those hard days and waves of grief that sneak into my mind. I also wanted you to know that I am 1/2 way through the awesome book and it has become like a bible to me. I love to go back and re-read certain parts that help me get through the hard times."

"I purchased this for a friend who has sadly lost their dog. I was finding it hard to know what to say and how to offer support but this book is thoughtfully written and I found the tips particularly helpful. I've now given it to my friend and she's let me know that she appreciated it too.
Recommend it to pet owners or those with pet owner friends."

“The loss of an animal companion is never easy — even for someone who has always had pets and worked in the animal industry. This beautiful book PerPETual Love covers all the emotions you feel, teaching you what they mean and how to cope... I was heartbroken when my lorikeet Zeus passed, but this book reminded me of happy memories and brought me comfort.
Can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone grieving a feathered, furred, or scaly family member.”

"Losing our Rottweiler, Holly, was one of the hardest experiences of my life. The grief was overwhelming... but Ann Harris’ PerPETual LOVE helped me find comfort. This book honors the deep bond we share with our pets and shifts the pain of loss into gratitude for the love we had. Now, instead of dwelling on sorrow, I cherish the happy moments with Holly, knowing her love remains in my heart. For any pet owner facing loss, this book is a guiding light."

Meet Ann Harris
Certified Grief Educator. Animal trainer for television and film. Author.
Here, your grief is met with understanding, and the bond you share with your pet is honoured.
You're supported here, listened to, and reminded that you don't have to do this alone.
PerPETual Love began with Ann's own Labrador, Matilda. That love still shapes her work to bring comfort, connection, and reassurance to grieving pet owners.
Ann has spent more than 35 years with animals. She has trained them for Australian and international film and television, and for a decade she ran a mobile farm, taking animals in to bring comfort and smiles in disability services, aged care and hospitals. In 2011 she was nominated for NSW Woman of the Year for that work. She says the animals should have received it.
