* ''Literature/LivvieOwenLivedHere'':
** Livvie's cat [[ADogNamedDog Orange Cat]] escaped two months ago and got hit by a car. Livvie is heartbroken at the loss of her best friend. She put all her photos of him in a box that she made Karen hide, except one photo that she keeps facedown on her desk at school because looking at him is too painful.
** Lanie cries when her mouse Bentley dies. Livvie helps bury him.
* ''Literature/{{Bewilderment}}'': When Robin was seven, he lost his dog Chester a few months after his mom. His rages became so bad that Theo let the doctors medicate him for a while, despite his [[NoMedicationForMe opposition to the idea of medicating children]].
* In ''Literature/BothCanBeTrue'', Daniel is still grieving for his border collie Frankie, who had to be put down a few months ago.
