While research on the memorialization of people after disasters is robust, there is still a lack of studies that analyze, critique, and synthesize the ways in which people express and construct memorials for animals in disasters. This gap should be addressed so that new theoretical areas can be explored concerning social meaning in disasters, expressions of grief, and the ways these expressions can reflect information about human-animal interactions. In this chapter, we provide a brief overview of memorialization literature regarding human death in disasters, memorialization of companion animals in non-disaster settings, and, finally, we begin a scholarly critique of animal memorialization through the lens of two separate case studies: the dogs of 9/11 (September 11, 2001) in the United States and the memorial monument from the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California.
