"Just a picture of my boy".
It is so much more than that. It is a pictorial (a beautiful pictorial) representation of the bond, that was shared between you both.
He was so very fortunate to share his time with you; and you must miss him terribly.
Without love there can be no grief. Grief and tears are the physical manifestation of that love.
It is a heavy price to pay, put it is paid by every person who has shared their life with a dog.
It is right that that is so.
