Their whole life in one place - and someone to talk to about them.
The look they give you. Their tail mid-wag, on video. The path you walk every morning. Keep it as it happens - and someone to talk to who understands, while they are here, and after they are gone.
She never takes the short way back, does she.
Every stage - not just the last one.
From the week you brought them home to the slow walks at the end - and the time after.
A photo does not need to be professional, or taken on the latest phone. It is the memory you captured - that is what counts, whatever the quality.

10 JulA Space - not a folder of photos.
One quiet place for their photos and videos, the walks you took together, the small things only you notice - and someone to talk to who knows them by name.
Every photo sits with a date, a place, and a line of your own - so it reads as a life, not a folder of images. Start one today, and add to it for as long as you like.
The card shows a real Space. Switch between a dog who is here and a dog who is gone.
The whole idea, in two minutes.
The whole way through - not only at the end.
On the good days, on the boring Tuesdays, and on the days you cannot say it out loud to anyone else.
Five messages here, no account needed. Talk in any language you like. Nothing from this conversation is kept.
Private - never shared, never sold, never public. Not a human, not a therapist. Someone who knows their name and never rushes you.
What's inside a Space
One calm place for everything that makes them who they are.
Photos & videos
Every look, every nap, every muddy paw. Write a line with any of them, or leave it to the date.
Places
Every walk, swim and favourite corner, pinned on your own map.
Companion
Someone to talk to who knows their name - day or night.
Notes
The small things you never want to forget - and the ones you need to look back on, like what the vet said.
Favourites
The ones you keep coming back to.
Memorial
Private by default. Nothing is public until you publish it, and you decide what goes on the page.
Private by default. All of it.
Nothing leaves your Space unless you decide it does. No feed, no followers, no ads, and your conversations are never used to train anything.
Every walk, swim and favourite corner - mapped.
Pin the places you went together and watch the map fill up over the years. The beach, the woods, the muddy field they refuse to leave.
A pin can hold the photos from that day, a note about what happened there, or nothing at all - the place is the memory.
For their whole life - not just the loss.
DearestDog was built for the years you have together, and for the time after - by someone who needed it and could not find it.
Huub.
DearestDog exists because of him. What you see here is three photos and one note - the rest of his page is not public, and never will be.
That is how yours works too. You decide what leaves your Space.
Carried the biggest branch he could find - and steered it effortlessly past everyone on the path.
Three photos and a note is what we chose to show. Who he was takes longer.
Every plan helps a dog who needs it.
A part of every paid membership goes to dogs who need it - the fee that gets one adopted, an operation, medicine, a transport across a border. Whatever it takes that week. We are building towards our first donation, and we will name the organisations we support right here. Not the headline. But close to our hearts.
I signed up to store photos. I did not expect to still be typing at two in the morning.
The map undid me. Every pin was a day we had.
I can still say his name to someone who knows who he was.
How it works

Their name and one photo. That is all it takes to begin.

Photos, places, notes - whenever you think of them.
Talk whenever you need to
Day or night, someone who knows them by name.

- Nothing is removed. Every photo, video and note stays exactly as it is.
