Losing a pet can sometimes feel like losing a relative. Pets are part of the family and are to be treated as such. To honor their departed pets’ memory, this group of pet lovers decided to strap their collars on this particular tree. This sweet gesture, coupled with memorial meetings once ina while, can ease the pain. However, strapping the tree like that is not healthy for the tree. The tree will eventually grow in size, thereby ‘choking’ the tree.
