Anyone who has ever loved an animal will be moved by this touching tribute to a furry friend.

A 2007 LA Shorts Fest Selection

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

  2. [..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

  8. 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…

  13. I’m sitting right beside my soulmate as I write this. I was 9 when I was given him for my bday. Fast forward almost 19 years. 19 years, he never left my side. 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

They are so wonderful they break your heart. I hope I am reunited with her because at the moment life is crap crap crap

  16. I just lost my own Chloe 6 weeks ago. She was only 3 years old. Thank you for sharing.

  18. 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.

  27. 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

  29. 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:(

  43. God Bless you, and I definitely know how you feel. Today, Januaury 31, 2012, 7:15 a.m 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 RIP Ody May 13 2009 – January 31, 2012

  46. [..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

  49. [..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.
