In 1881 a dog named Cherry was laid to rest on the outskirts of Hyde Park in London. This seemingly innocuous act spurred a revolution. Other pet owners would soon follow suit, adding graves alongside Cherry's, and the world's first urban pet cemetery was born. Their example would spread and is now found around the world in a fascinating and touching array of different traditions. Tonight, Dr. Paul Koudounaris will discuss his new book on animal burials and memorials, Faithful Unto Death, sharing not just his insights into the history of animal burials, but stories that range from tear-jerker to outright bizarre.
