So sorry for your loss. Your story is so sad. I can relate cause this tragedy almost happened to me a year ago. I left my dog in the car after taking her to the park. I had so much on my mind that I went into my house forgetting she was in the back. An hour later I realized I had left her and was in a panick. Luckily it was not that hot and she was fine. Had it been during summer she would not have made it. Unfortunately, we sometimes are stressed or overloaded with so many things that it is easy to forget. Very scary but it is not intentional. It is a tragic accident. I can't help to believe that everything happens for a reason. I know that is no comfort to you right now. I lost my Ali (female boxer) 2 months ago and am missing and grieving for her. The hardest part is the guilt I feel. I think about the time I left her in the car, the times I was impatient with her, the time I forgot to give her her medicine, etc. I wish I had been a better mommy. Losing her has been the hardest loss I have ever experienced. Don't know how this is possible, but it has been harder than the loss of human family members. This to me is so strange because I was never an animal lover. I only got this dog because my children wanted a pet. However, I grew to love her so deeply. My life revolved around taking care of her especially went she got sick. She was my comfort when I was down, and my dearest companion. I have dreams about her and sometimes wake up to her bark or the sound of her nails on the wooden floor. I am a religious person and believe our animals are in heaven and forgive us. I will pray for you and your sweet baby. Isabel
