My soul dog, Thank you salvony1 and r/rainbowbridgebabies. You have helped me so much ❤️

Hi everyone, sadly on may 9th my eight year old baby boy Maru passed away from a pitbull killing him. I was at work and he passed away alone before I could make it home. I'm hurting so much and struggling mentally at the moment and I really need some songs for grief, any songs like Empire! Empire! (i was a lonely estate) - An Idea Is a Greater Monument Than a Cathedral, Free Throw - Tips For Safe Travels, Secret Stuff - Golden Sound but I will take any recommendations. I would really appreciate it.

The third photo he is wearing my old free throw hat I had signed by Corey years ago, it is one of my favorite photos of him <3

Hi everyone, this saturday when I was at work I loss my 8 year old australian shepherd Maru to a pitbull who attacked him. Sadly he had already passed on by the time I was home and he passed away alone. I'm struggling right now mentally and finding it hard if not impossible to do anything at all due to this being the closest bond I've ever had with someone or a pet. Can anyone please make something special for him, Anything to make my days a little brighter in such a dark time of my life, I would really appreciate it and it would mean the world to me.

We loved to travel or go on hikes, going to the park, and playing fetch with his ball or frisbee. He also loved car rides and to go on morning drives for his pup cups and treats. Thank you to anyone who takes their time to read this.

Hi everyone, this saturday when I was at work I loss my 8 year old australian shepherd Maru to a pitbull who attacked him. Sadly he had already passed on by the time I was home and he passed away alone. I'm struggling right now mentally and finding it hard if not impossible to do anything at all due to this being the closest bond I've ever had with someone or a pet, we did everything together and he was always attached to my hip, he always slept right by my side or against my back and just being in my bed isn't the same and I find it impossible to sleep besides for short periods until I wake up crying or looking for him feeling confused to where he is until the realization kicks in. The same questions keep running through my mind about his final moments, how much was he suffering? Him wondering where I was and why am I not helping him? And how scared he was before he passed away? I keep blaming myself for so much and to be honest I've loss the will to keep going on even though I know he would want me to keep on pushing forward. But seeing how bad that dog attacked him and the condition he was in when I found him destroyed me and I can't get that image out of my mind, there was a lot of blood coming out of his mouth and body and seeing how much that was under him when I picked him up disturbed me. When the vet examined him they found punctures on his head, throat, stomach, back, and legs so basically his whole body. She also told me that it looks like he had broken a rib and his lung was punctured. The other dog is being put down but sadly the damage has already been done and I can't stop thinking about how much my baby boy suffered and the thought of him dying alone is messing me up. I wish more people would train their dogs especially with the ones that are bigger breeds and can be more dangerous so things like this wouldn't happen. If anyone here has experienced something similar please let me know anything that helped you or reach out and message me if you feel more comfortable talking about it that way. I'm also sorry to anyone who has loss a pet recently or to anyone who has suffered something similar.

I did post this in another community but I didn't get much advice, anything helps. Thank you so much.
