Patty Moore refuses to let go of a lost loved one. “She was always by my side. She slept with me, watched TV with me. Cooked with me. Did everything with me," Moore said. When her Havanese Terrier, Samantha, passed away Patty had her cremated. But she couldn't believe it when the dog was left in this tin canister. "I describe it as cold and really kind of uncaring," Moore said. Searching for a better solution, she came up with these pillows. The top unzips and you put the pet's ashes right in. "She was about a ten pound dog. That's how they come. That's all there is to it," said Moore. It's a way for Samantha to stay right by her side years after her death. "I can still have her with me at night. I can throw her on a couch if I need to," she said. Since starting Soft-Hearted Pillows in February, Patty has shipped them all around the world, for dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. "I’ve had people interested from Saudi Arabia to Canada to Mexico." Moore also knows they aren't for everyone. "It is a completely different idea and some people are a bit creeped out by it." But for Patty it's a way to preserve her pet. “She deserved more than to be sitting on a shelf gathering dust. She deserved to be still next to me."
