The Pawprints Story

When “Pawprints Left by You” author Teri Harrison’s beautiful German Shepherd, Kip, lost his life to cancer, Teri was taken aback by the silence left in his place. She wrote “Pawprints Left by You” to capture both the love she felt for her treasured pet and the sadness she experienced at his passing. In the 20 years that have since followed, Teri’s words continue to resonate with thousands of pet lovers looking for the words to remember and honor their own best friends.

As the poem was shared and the popularity grew over the years, Teri continued to add unique and creative pet keepsakes to remember our beloved cats and dogs. Her first introduction is still a best-seller today, the Pawprints Left by You Memorial Pet Tag Frame that can hold a pet's tag or the provided tag can be engraved. Both add a personal touch to the frame, which also includes the poem and a place for the pet's photograph.

As the years have passed, Teri has been a creative force in the pet bereavement gift industry, by introducing products like the pet memorial lantern, Pet Hugs blanket, Pet Memorial Windchime and ornaments featuring pet tags, vials and photo charms., to name a few. She also penned an additional poem called "Where I'll Always Be", that lovingly speaks from the pet's point of view, to comfort the owner, when the difficult decision to put a pet to sleep weighs heavy on an owner's heart.

Teri Harrison is the owner of The Grandparent Gift Co Inc. and Pawprints Left by You is a Trademark Brand of the company she created 30 years ago. The company, based in Alpharetta, GA continues to create and manufacture gifts for all the ones you love and that includes our beloved family pets!
