REVIEW: “In one of the most heartfelt and emotional pieces of the afternoon, My Dog Chloe deals with the passing of a man’s beloved friend Chloe. Shot days after Mendelson was forced to put his ailing dog to sleep, we get the potent raw emotions, draped in personal testimony and memorable photographic stills. We immediately feel the loss of Chloe and are reminded of the strong emotional bonds between pet owners and their pets.”  — Indie Express

  1. [..YouTube..] Even after 2 years I still cry (as do you) when I view your video. I lost my dog around the same time and cried for my loss as I did for yours. I hope you got another dog as you are a true and genuine person

  3. [..YouTube..] We finally did get another dog. Spencer is a cute little Papillion-Terrier mix we adopted from the local animal shelter. He’s brought a lot of doggie love back into the house, although he will never replace Chloe. –b

  7. [..YouTube..] I agree, you can never replace ou best friends all we can do is save a life and start a new relationship. I had to put one of my dogs (Cache) to sleep December 18 2006. Needless to say that Christmas that year was not a happy one. I mourned my best friend for months and still think of him almost every day. I also talk to him as if he can hear me, it just makes me feel better. I still have my pitbull mix 12 1/2 and my golden 8 1/2 and can’t bear loosing them. I ended up getting another lap dog

  17. I feel your pain. I took a video of my cat 2 years ago when she was well and I’m trying to remember her that way.

  19. I cried with you through your video. I just lost my dog, also called Chloe. For 15 years she was the sweetest companion. The sense of loss is so much greater than I had ever imagined. Thankyou for posting such a beautiful tribute.

  20. Watching this video two years later…My Pepper will be gone 2 years this July. I think about her every day and miss her so much every day. Again, I thank you for this wonderful tribute to your Chloe. I know exactly how you feel. Tears are still there, maybe not as often, but still there.

  21. My dog died too I really did cry when I saw your video I know it came from the heart

  23. Im so sorry for you in 2005 my dachie had passed away he was 14 he had to be put to sleep because he was bleeding alot

  25. When any of my littles go (Bichons), I’ll be devastated. Thanks for sharing your story. My condolensces. Chloe sounds like a wonderful friend.

  27. my heart is crying out for your loss.They say LOVE IS ETERNAL and in heaven we will see all our source of love..I believe this in my heart.God bless your Chloe and all our beloved pets.

  31. man my dog he is 11 years old i just wanna make his last years better i mean ive live whit him since im in kindergarden and i want to make his last years better i feel so sorry for your lost

  32. @campod3 were trying to sound like a child or something? I mean, I feel bad about a person who is losing an animal they love but you sound like an idiot or you just cant type!

  33. I have a cat, she’s called Milly and she’s 16 – Had her since she was just a week old. She’s always been loving and effectionate but recently, she’s become very distant. Always hiding away… I took her for a check-up to find she has a hyper thyroid issue, which is causing her heart to race. She’s also got a tumor. It tears me apart because there is nothing more I can do for her, medication will only prolong her suffering. Its tough letting go, feeling like you could have done more…

  34. @TheEbryant2008 I’ve written a story with a dog called Bear, so I’m dedacating the story to him

  36. I know how you feel. I raised my dog from a pup. She was 12 & developed terminal cancer. She was my play mate, companion, soul mate, & my shoulder to cry on. She’d sit on my lap & snuggle up as close as she could when she felt I was sick or sad. I had to put her down last week cause I woke up 1 morning & she gagging for air. The cancer had gotten big in her throught. I cried with you when I saw your vid. Beautiful dog. God bless. Will the pain ever go away? God, it hurts so bad!

  37. [..YouTube..] It’s been four years since we lost Chloe, and I still miss her very much. It took awhile, but the pain did eventually subside. What remains are the memories of the wondeful times she shared with us — memories that will last forever. When we reminisce about her, we smile. About a year after Chloe died, we went to the animal shelter and adopted a great little dog named Spencer. Spencer will never replace Chloe, but he has added a lot of joy to our lives. — Braddon

  38. [..YouTube..] I know how difficult it is to lose a wonderful dog, we lost our St. Bernard Rhone to bone cancer in Feb. 2011. Search “Remembering Rhone” on You Tube or Google to view a tribute video I made for her, she was a therapy dog and a sweet girl.

    Rhone,
    Through woods and fields we’ll walk no more
    But love is your pathway
    And Memories our lane…
    It’s through these happy places
    We’ll still walk with you each day

  41. [..YouTube..] i lost my boy yesterday. we grew up together. in two months he would have seen me turn 17, and in two more he would have turned 10. his cancer came on so suddenly; three weeks ago i had no idea he wouldn’t see me through the rest of high school and childhood. he never saw me grow up fully. and i never saw him grow old, which he would have done so gracefully. i don’t know what i am without my sweet boy. i will never forget him and love him forever.

  42. [..YouTube..] Brother I really know about that ugly feeling, I Hope I don’t loose the one I have now even though we are ready to battle vs Parvo, One of his sons (my favorite one) a very obedient one and also very attached to me, got infected and in a matter of days vanished living me with an empty feeling in my life…His Father is still with me and tries real hard to make me forget the little creature, I can almost understand his feelings because he (the father) helped me to train them all…

  47. [..YouTube..] I had my dog Dallas,a golden rertiever, for just about 16 years. He died on October 21,2011. All I can say is don’t take your pet’s time for granted,because it will bite in your ass. hard… R.I.P. Dallas

  49. [..YouTube..] My friend just lost her cat and I was trying to find something inspirational to email her when I came across your video and now I too am crying my eyes out. What a beautiful tribute to your girl. I bet she couldnt have asked for a better earthly father and yes I do believe she’s happy, healthy & waiting for you on the other side.

  50. [..YouTube..] I’m so sorry for your loss. I know what you’re going through. It’s extremely sad when you lose a pet. I love animals and I hate seeing them pass away. Time eventually heels wounds, but it doesn’t heel everything. Again, I’m very sorry for your loss.

  52. [..YouTube..] my dog just passed away this morning, i cried so much. her name was Holly she was 8, and she was the nicest dog ever, about a week ago she had a small heart attack so we brought her to the vet and spent $2,500 on medicine and as much as we could do but we could not give her surgery because she had a hole in her heart. so this morning i woke up and let her outside and then got ready for work and she followed me in the kitchen and when i was in the kitchen she just fell over and i knew she passed.

  54. [..YouTube..] My two dogs who were also brothers passed away. They were boxers, and as a joke named them Muhammad and Ali. They weren’t just my bestfriends…they were my family. I miss them very much. I feel as if there is a part of me that left with them. It’s very hard to except that they are

    On my way to school…my French-Poodle Dog has passed away in a car accident, having fun running through the street of Madison until an unexpected tragedy had occurred. He was injured. He was sent to the doctor, and then after, thinking he was alive, we took him to the “Florest” Shop, but didn’t came there alive unfortunately. Ody

  71. [..YouTube..] Thanks for sharing your story. You helped me to cry with you. I have been walking around feeling like everything is surreal & I will wake from this denial. I just had to put my beautiful Nikki down about 25 hours ago. I have been feeling so empty, looking around only to realizing she will never again be near me. I have no children. She is/was my daughter. I hoped she’d make it to her 17th BD this month the 28th. It got too bad. You say what I can’t right now. It hurt but helped so much Thk U:(

  73. [..YouTube..] Please don’t think you are ever dumb sweetie! I am sure your baby chi or the driver didn’t plan this to happen either. It is sad. So many beautiful stories with sad endings. That is why I looked and found this place. Where I could cry, grieve and not feel so alone in doing so. Today I feel the same as you. I don’t want another dog either. Because it won’t be her. I feel everyones pain it seems along with my own. I am thankful to Braddon for being so brave and bringing us all together. So kind

  82. [..YouTube..] Your dog was not only your friend but also your doctor. I just copy from Internet :
    Dogs are known as being excellent de-stressors. Just imagine coming home from a stressful day and a happy dog welcomes you. That can relieve the stress and give you joy. Grooming or stroking your dog can also relieve stress and even the walks can take off some pressure.

Licked my years as I’ve cried. Tmrw I have decided that this is no longer about me. It’s about him. And letting him go on to heaven where he can run again. I’m so scared. I don’t know how to live without him. I don’t know if I want to live with out him. I’m lost. Your tribute is beautiful, and a reminder that I and the rest of us…are no

  93. Thank-You, for sharing your memories of Chloe with all of us. At times it was
    very hard for me to watch for I felt your pain having been through this myself.
    I do believe that we will all be together someday. One day when a joyous reunion,
    never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face and you look into
    the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your
    heart. That’s the day that god calls you home and you cross Rainbow Bridge together…

  99. [..YouTube..] I share your comments. Once a priest declared that also animals will enjoy Paradise. This is convincing : we know, any animals documentary shows this, that animals suffer pains , just consider horrible slaughters to feed humans, but religions grant that God has infinite goodness: so for animals also a compensation must be be provided in some way at least for sake of justice

  100. Beautiful vid-I write about these kind of things and how I still miss my beagle.
    Please visit me at ww w.astraljuice.co m and comment on my post called snoopy alexandra,that was her name.lol

  101. The most beautiful tribute I’ve ever seen for the love of an animal. They truly become family and losing them can be devastating for sure. Thank you for sharing such a loving story. No doubt you have helped many others in the name/honor of your sweet Chloe… just to get thru the grieving process and not feel so alone in their pain. XoXoXo thank you 🙂

  102. I lost my best friend of also 11 years just this past tues. I’m devastated. I’m sick to my stomach but your video shows me I’m not alone in this journey of sudden loss. Thank you for sharing this personal story.

  104. I had to put my dog Alfie to sleep yesterday, the pain is unbearable and I miss him do much it hurts.. Love you Alfie freado

  105. I lost my dog Chloe yesterday around 4:15p,She was an 11 yr old Maltese.I loved her so much and the pain unreal.She had diarrhea 2 weeks ago with a fever and they treated her for that but they did not diagnose pneumonia.She fell ill I continued to take her to the ER to get oxygen and an IV and just prayed she would pull through.She got to the point she was suffering even on oxygen.Dec 4,2013 was the darkest day of my life.I had to let her go.I have had the help of my family and they are staying with me but I am still so alone.I just wanted to share because I just want to share the pain.I am so thankful for this video and so sorry.Time will heal and one day we will be with our dogs again and in heaven I believe I will be able to talk to my dog Chloe.I never thought I could love so much but it was only because I saw how much she wanted me to be with her all the time and loved me so much.

  106. I woke up went to see my dog shadow to clear it up it was snowing I was calling and calling him and he was not moving and frozen it was very sad for me I never had a chance to play with him before he was gone worst experience I will always remember you shadow.

  107. I lost my loving dog Joy today he was just 1 year 10 months. He died due to a deadly tic fever. did all we can but he passed away finally. I am so sad and can not stop crying. Love you joy

  108. I have had two dogs for as long as I can remember, Ubu and Trinity. I am 11, and we got them when I was just born. They were brother and sister. At age 11 Trinity started not eating well, and she became very picky about her food. We noticed she was always panting. after 6 months we took her for a walk, and she came back home. I saw her laying in the floor on her side. She stayed there and only ate ice cream fed to her in a syringe. That night she threw up, and we took her to the emergency vet. We also saw an internal specialist, but they had no idea what was wrong. Finally we took her to a vet school and they diagnosed her very quickly. She had Hemangiosarcoma, a tumor on the heart. It was bleeding into the pericardium, the sack around her heart. The pericardium was filling up with blood, and smashing her heart. The vets took out the blood from the pericardium. They told us she had up to a month for her to live, then we would have to put her down. We made her a bed, and slept with her on the couches downstairs for 3 weeks. One weekend I came up with a final idea, to give her the thing she most loved, food. I made her the queen of treats, and we had a great time celebrating and eating. She loved all the free treats!! 5 days later it was the middle of the night. I looked out from my room and saw her sitting on the stairs. My mom came and shut my door. I soon fell asleep. The next morning I got up ready for school, and I saw my mom was sad. I realized Trinity was not here. She told me, and I cried. I still cry, all the time. I am actually crying right now.

  109. We had to put our 14-year-old GSP to sleep last week. This story is so close to the story of my Randi Roo….I miss her so much. I knew that she meant the world to me when she was alive, but didn’t realize how great an impact she had on my life until I held her paw as she drifted away. 14 years is a long time. RIP Little Roo <3

  110. I can’t help but cry. I love my dog so much. He is all I have. If I lost him I don’t know what I would do. I don’t make much money but I spend a large portion of it on him. Recently, he was bit by a tick and has been acting funny. I think he has Lyme disease. I can’t stop crying. I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.
