Grieving pet owners in Singapore, known for lavishing care on their animals, can soon share their feelings about furred family members after they pad off to the great beyond - via obituaries in the city-state's largest newspaper.
From Sunday, The Straits Times pets section will let pet owners publish goodbye messages to their favourite non-human companions along with an accompanying photo.
The memorials will be part of a "pets' corner" in the classifieds section, along with notices by the SPCA and other animal groups about pets available for adoption.
