This remarkable series of sketches by freelance digital artist Jen-Jen Rose is one of our favorite things, and for good reason. The sketches tell the emotional story of Rose’s relationship with her dog, as they see each other through some tough times. About the series, Rose wrote, ” In honor of my dog who passed away. We experienced a lot of the same things together, so I wrote this to be read in either her or my perspective.” The way each section can be read from both perspectives is ingenious and powerful.
So scroll down through the story below and see how these simple sketches capture so much emotion. You might want to have a tissue handy.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful love story…
My dog died on Monday surely can relate I loved her
I thanked my Rosie over and over before she left me. The one thing I would add to this is memories of all the good times. The walks in the woods with Rosie were the best times of my life.
Thank you very much for this. I had to euthanize my very best friend and heart dog today…it means the world to me to find this tonight.
I lost my beloved Frost on March 6, 2019. My heart is broken. As I was struggling to keep moving I ran across your sketches. They are truly amazing.
I am sorry for your loss but thank you for putting into words my feelings.
Thank you for sharing a little piece of you, that’s so dear to your heart. My family and I just got our first family pet, a 3 month old Cavapoo and I can’t even imagine what would be like not having him around. I want to say thank you for sharing that beautiful art and God bless.
I’m still heartbroken over the loss of my pet. She was always there for me. She was my constant companion. She looked after me and I looked after her. She would always be waiting for me to get home from work and once I was home with her, we did everything together. Cooked, cleaned, crafts, resting, watching tv, getting fresh air outside. Everything. My heart aches for her still. I believe it always will. She was my best friend, she was my family.
My beloved Doodle,Maya, had to be put down last October and I still cry everyday. Thank you for this.
Thank you for this beautiful heartfelt love story of and for any dog lover . I never could have a dog as a child and that was my greatest gift to me when I got married and had my first of many dogs to come ! When they left me I knew a part of me went with them . I have never, before or after they left me, felt such an unconditional love. It truly has been a gift from God that I could ever experience that genuine love with no strings attached ! I am so glad I had that once in a lifetime experience that only my best friend/my dog could ever give me ! God Bless you for sharing your love of dogs through your beautiful artwork !
How beautiful!❤ my sweet Dodger was 13 and had to be put down a month ago….like you..my best buddy…always by my side…consoled me when I was sad…loved him so much…but my love could not save him from being so sick…it was time he was telling me and I had to do the right thing…I held him tight and when he left….my heart went with him! I miss my sweet puppers!❤
