Pets are part of the family, so it's natural that we mourn their loss as if a member of our family had died. This can be even more painful when our beloved animals suffer a tragic, sad death. Indeed, this is the case for many celebrities, who have lost their pets in unexpected and sometimes horrific ways.
'Grey's Anatomy' star Caterina Scorsone took to Instagram on April 3 to share the devastating news of her house fire earlier this year, which took the lives of her four pets. She said she was getting her kids ready for bed when "smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub" and through the house. "One thing about fires: they happen fast. I had about two minutes to get my three kids out of the house, and we escaped with less than shoes on our feet. But we got out. And for that I am eternally grateful."
But not everyone made it. "Heartbreakingly, we lost all four of our pets. We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all," she wrote. Still, she wanted to highlight not the tragedy but the people that came through for her. "This is not a post about a fire. This is a post about community. This is a love letter to the incredible people that showed up and the incredible ways that they did ... What we learned is that the only thing that matters are the people (and beings) that you love."
