<p>Our pets play a significant role in our lives, and only pet owners can really understand the boundless love that pet owners feel for their animals. They are the kind of friends that improve our life just by being in it. They're the kind of people that stick close to you no matter what's going on in your life. Thus, it is only natural that their owners get connected to them and start treating them like human children.</p>

<p>However, life isn't fair and things don't always go as planned. Pet cats and dogs spend their whole lives with us, yet they are not granted full access to our lives. Everyone who has ever had a pet die can attest to the indescribable anguish that comes with losing a companion. Your life will take a bleak turn, and you will always remember your pet fondly. A story about a pet owner so loyal to his late dog that he made a remarkable collection of works in his honor is also included here. Richard Saunders, a 75-year-old man, is waiting to meet you. He still mourns the loss of his beloved cat from 2016. The narrative will also show you the beautiful relationship that Richard has with Tolly. Below, you'll find his incredible narrative.</p>

<p>Richard was a talented surrealist painter who was first exposed to Photoshop during his time as a Creative Director over a decade ago. Ever since then, he's been modifying photographs. However, they are not only cosmetic changes. He uses heavily cropped images of huge shrubs to pass for his Tolly in photographs.
