I'm nearly in tears. I had a rat named Buddy for 8 years. He was one of the coolest pets I have ever owned. I had bought several rats before him (Feeders) that all died within weeks from cancer or illnesses. I was ready to give up and my mom talked me into getting "just one more." Instead of the ones with pretty colors, I went for just a plain gray one. He was amazing and smart and awesome. A pet is a pet, not matter how small or weird they may be. I feel for your son, but really he is at the perfect age to be introduced to death, and it is usually through pets that we learn those hard first lessons.

May Jack's memory live on in your son forever, and I know that he will see him again on the Other Side.
