Abstract
abstractMy primary concern will be to cast light upon the relation between animal guardians (‘pet owners’) and pets as a deep relation. I will proceed with a degree of indirectness by explaining why animal guardians can have an epistemically‐privileged position when it comes to end‐of‐life decisions concerning pets. My contention is that they are best placed to grasp the relevant narrative considerations upon which end‐of‐life deliberation in marginal cases ought to depend. Such narrative‐appreciation is built into the practice of treating animals as pets. By virtue of having such a narrative appreciation, animal guardians can be best placed to grasp the life‐role of pain and suffering.
