Oh, I agree. No pet replaces another, but they can help heal us.
Another personal example, the same day I had Al put down I had one of my cats put down. Callie, the cat was special to me. Not only did we have a special bond, she had been my Mom's cat. She was my last living connection to Mom. The day before I had Al and Callie put down I took in an itty-bitty kitten who had been abandoned by his mother. Mikey is also one of the special ones in life. He and I bonded at first sight. Someone asked if he filled the hole in my heart. No, he doesn't. That hole will remain, but he sure has helped me heal the pain of losing two of my furbabies.
