Woman buys full-page newspaper obituary for pet dog

HAMILTON TWP., N.J. - March 29, 2013

Upon the passing of her beloved dog, Ginger, Tammy Duffy of Hamilton was understandably crushed.

In honor of their 15 years together, Tammy decided to create a full page obituary in the Trentonian newspaper.

Some may find this as over the top for a dog, but Tammy says she doesn't care.

"I just wanted to do something that demonstrated that she was this amazing dog. Everybody should be blessed to have such a great person in their life," she said.

The ad cost Tammy $900. It was a drop in the bucket, she says, for the love she shared with Ginger.
