Faithful Unto Death

Dr. Paul Koudounaris travelled the world studying pet cemeteries, animal memorials, and traditions for saying final goodbyes to cherished pets. What he discovered were graves for everything from flies to elephants, and no matter how disparate the species and how far removed geographically, all had one thing in common: each of them were beloved to a human companion. Ranging from Victorian English cat graves to caskets for horned toads in the Wild West this promises to be a talk that is sometimes weird, often fascinating, and entirely touching.
