WHEN man loses his best friend, the heartache is hard to describe in words. 

 

The relationship between man and dog is so special and unfortunately, often so short.
Photographer Sarah Ernhart captures owners saying a final goodbye to their faithful friends in a single snap. Her project, Joy Session, shows the raw emotion of this moment, sometimes just hours before the dog passes away.
On last count, Ms Ernhart has photographed over 150 Joy Sessions.
"It can definitely be very emotional," Mrs Ernhart said. "It's a very sensitive time for these people who have been with these animals for their entire lives. I definitely have cried with some of the owners.
"It's pretty powerful."
If you thought Marley & Me was emotional, prepare yourself. These photos will break your heart.
