More owners choose to pay last respects to pets

Wang Bojun says he finds it soothing to spend time in the graveyard where his beloved 10-year-old bulldog was laid to rest in November.

"It's very good to have a place to go when I miss it. Being there eases the pain," Wang said.

Located along the North Sixth Ring Road in the Changping district of Beijing, the pet's final arrangements were taken care of by Baifu Pet Heaven Animal Burial Center, which has been around for more than a decade.
