<p><p>&#8220;The loss of Cliff is not just a tragedy but a personal loss for his handler, Steven, who has been inseparable from him since Cliff was a small puppy.</p>
<p><b>&#8220;Losing Cliff feels like losing a cherished family member, and today, we witness the genuine sorrow on Steven&#8217;s face,&#8221; </b>he told the Sarawak daily.</p>
<p>&#8220;From bathing to taking medication, every aspect of life was shared. In losing Cliff, we recognise the depth of the bond that echoes the sentiment that a dog is truly man&#8217;s best friend,&#8221; he added.</p>
