The K-State Whispering Garden,
located on the College of Veterinary Medicine campus, works in tandem
with the Pet Tribute as a way to further honor the human-animal bond by
supporting veterinary medicine at Kansas State University.
The Whispering Garden is an outdoor area between Trotter and Mosier
Halls featuring stainless steel panels that are mounted on decorative
stone risers. Each stainless steel panel has 69 different photos of
companion animals, past and present, sent in by friends, family and
veterinarians. A granite-lined pathway allows for visitors to walk
through the Whispering Garden to remember, reflect and enjoy memories of
lost pets, or the ones that are still part of their lives.
The inspiration for the Whispering Garden came from Virginia Hogsett, a
long time friend of the College of Veterinary Medicine who had lost her
terrier. She said that if she could only hear her dog whisper again she
would be more at ease with her loss. The college decided to dedicate a
special space where many can hear their beloved pet whisper once more.

A minimum $50 contribution will
give you the unique opportunity of honoring an animal companion by
having a stainless steel photo displayed in the Whispering Garden. The
donor will also receive a replica of the photo as a keepsake.

"If they could only whisper"
Virginia Hogsett
We were very happy
with the quality of the Forever Photo and found the order
placement very easy. It was very difficult to lose Griz as
he was our son's pet and our son is currently serving in
Iraq. Telling him over the phone while he is fighting a war
that his pet was gone was devastating.

We love the Forever Photo. More importantly, we love the
thought of memorializing Angus and being able to make a
donation to the scholarship program so more animal lovers
like Corbin, Dr. Childress and Dr. Chun can study veterinary
medicine.

We received the keepsake photo of Chester and want to thank
you very much. We were pleased with the quality and plan to
place it on his grave. Thank you for providing a service
that allow pet owners to honor their friends after they have
gone.
