At America’s oldest pet cemetery, humans spend eternity with faithful companions

Americans love their pets, and nowhere is that more apparent than at the oldest pet cemetery in the United States. More than 70,000 animals have been buried at the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery, located about 30 kilometers outside of New York City. Grieving owners often pay thousands of dollars to lay their pets to rest. And sometimes, as VOA’s Dora Mekouar reports, the owners make plans to eventually join them. Camera: Adam Greenbaum
