It's always sad to lose a pet, whether they pass away or you have to give them up for adoption. When I was a baby, my family had a dalmatian named Jake, and he was killed by an electric fence running into the farmland across the street. It was the only dog I ever had and when I see pictures, I would love to still have him here. I recently had to give my cat Milo up for adoption, because we moved out of our old house and we weren't allowed to have pets in our new one.

However, you learn to live by the memories and the times you had together. Sure, it's going to be rough on her family but with the right kind of support it'll ease the pain. She could also try getting her dog cremated so she can keep the ashes. I've known lots of people to do that and they say it makes them feel a whole lot better.
