From a recent news story. Any laws broken here, I wonder?
When Patty Moore says she has found comfort in her pet dog’s death, she means it quite literally.
She made the 10-pound terrier into a pillow. Well, the dog’s ashes at least. Moore hasn’t stopped there and now runs a company that furnishes tons of worldwide orders for dead pet pillows.
The company is called Soft-hearted Pillows, and Moore has been making a killing. She takes the ashes of dead dogs, cats, birds and even rabbits and sews them into embroidered pillows with the animal’s name on it. It’s a treasured keepsake, albeit a creepy one, Moore admits.
“I can still have her with me at night. I can throw her on a couch if I need to,” she said. “It is a completely different idea and some people are a bit creeped out by it.”
