Georgia Health Report: Coping with loss of pets during the holidays

Coming up on the Georgia Health Report, as families gather for the holidays, there may be a gaping hole—pets who have passed away.

WUGA's Emma Auer is joined by Noelle Browning, clinical counselor at the University of Georgia’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. They'll discuss the very special human-pet bond, and how to maintain mental health when pets pass.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
