Bob Zahn touches his dog, Spencer, a final time, just moments after the dog passed. His wife, Leigh, left the room immediately, as it was too much for her to take. “She's going to take it harder maybe than the loss of her parents. Your parents can tell you when something is wrong, but your dog can't.” He sighed. “She'll be a mess, today, tomorrow and the next few weeks. She loved him.” The photograph was taken on August 2, 2017 in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida.
