I'm Sam, the founder of PetHearts - a truly special place born from love, loss and the unforgettable bonds we share with our pets.
For me, that bond was Monty, my ginger cocker spaniel. He was full of life - cheeky, energetic and always up to mischief. Right up until the end, he brought so much joy into my families life. But in his later years, doggy dementia took that spark away. Watching his personality fade, bit by bit, was heartbreaking.
That was over two years ago now. And yet, every time I see a cheeky spaniel tearing through the park, the memories come flooding back. The laughter, the love and the small moments that made up a lifetime together. He left a hole that could never be filled - but his memory still runs beside me, just like he always did.
I created PetHearts because I know I'm not alone. Too often, pet grief is overlooked or misunderstood, but the love we shared with them never fades. This is a place over the rainbow bridge, where their stories live on, where we honour, celebrate and pay tribute to their memories forever.
Because, if you've ever loved a pet like Monty, you know:
They're never just pets... they're family.
