Did you know about this new pet memorial?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

12-year-old Jorja McCarthy holds a plaque which reads, “Appollo. You will always be in our hearts like a star in the sky”.

She fits it in place with the same care and tenderness that she gave little Appollo in life. The fence she’s attaching it to is Hamilton’s new Rainbow Bridge; a place to remember the city’s departed pets.

What do you think of the idea? Let us know in the comments. (Please include NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
