History

 

When did the event happen?  1995

 How old were you? 4/5 

What exactly happened? We were in the garden trying to get my rabbit into the cage when my grandpa arrived with his dog, Sabre. Sabre caught my rabbit but the rabbit had a heart attack and died.    

 Can you describe the details of the scene? My garden had cream tiles and lot of tall green conifers. Usually the bird would sing. You could always smell freshly cut grass and compost.      

 Why do you think this stays in your mind? I think it stay in my mind because it was my first loss. I was very upset and thought that my parents would never let me keep pets again. 

How have you changed since then? I think I realised the value of pets, they're like us but more valuable.
