FOR THE DOG WHO WAS FAMILY

A Memorial Star for the Dog You Lost

The leash still by the door. The warm spot on the couch. And now: a star.

They were family

Some will say “it was just a dog.” They never waited at your door, never knew the sound of your car. Dogs give us years of ordinary days and then one unbearable one. A memorial doesn’t need to be grand — it can simply be somewhere real to go: a star you can look up and see.

Chosen by the moment they said goodbye

You enter the time and place they said goodbye; we compute the zenith of that instant — the point directly overhead — and from the HYG catalog (107,838 real stars) return the real, still-unnamed star nearest that point. The same inputs always give the same star, and the coordinates speak astronomy’s common language — verify them in any sky-chart app.

What you receive

A star record: traceable IDs (HIP / Gaia), J2000 coordinates, distance and spectral type · a 3D return to the sky of that final night · a downloadable certificate · and a memorial space that is private by default. One tier, $19.99 — no hidden upsells.

We can’t tell you where they are now.

But we can show you the star that was above them when they said goodbye.
