## About this plan

Losing a pet leaves a hole that can be hard to name. The bond with a dog, a cat, or any four-legged friend is one of the deepest we form in daily life, and when it ends, the grief needs room to breathe.

Lecturas que acompañan el duelo. Huellas que permanecen is a gathering built for exactly that. It is a space where literature helps put words to the absence and share it with others who understand. The event comes from Idartes, part of its free cultural calendar in Bogotá.

The date is October 15. If you want a different kind of plan in the city, one full of sensitivity and conversation, this is a good one to join.
