If your dog was family—not “just a pet”—this book was written for you.
You didn’t just lose an animal.
You lost your anchor. Your shadow. The one who stayed close on the days no one else could.
Now the house feels too quiet. The routines feel hollow. The grief comes in waves—and people around you may not understand why it hurts this much.
Pawprints Through the Heart is a gentle, grief-informed guide for anyone mourning the loss of a beloved dog. Written by pet loss support expert Jessica Lasko, who has supported over 5,000 grieving families, this book meets you where you are—with compassion, practical tools, and heartfelt ways to honor the bond you still feel.
This isn’t a “get over it” checklist. It’s steady support through shock, guilt, triggers, anniversaries, loneliness, and the slow return of breath.
Inside you’ll find help with:
Why pet loss can feel especially profound—and why that’s normal
How to move through guilt, regret, and the exhausting “what if” spiral
Tools for grief waves, daily reminders, and the silence that hurts
Simple rituals to honor your dog and give love somewhere to go
Journal prompts and healing exercises to help you carry the love forward
The book is structured in compassionate “seasons” of grief—from The First Frost to Deep Winter, The Long Thaw, Spring Light, and New Bloom—so you can move at the pace your heart can handle.
Bonus Gift Included: The Healing Pawprint Companion Journal

You don’t have to move on.
You just need a way to carry the love.
