   “Pets are the ultimate source of unconditional love and faithfulness. They
   provide routine in the midst of the unreality of the end-of-life journey and
   may sometimes be the comic relief needed during the challenges and struggles
   patients and caregivers share.” — The Rev. Delana Taylor McNac, hospice
   chaplain

   animals and ministering to the dying.
