Dogs are one of God’s greatest gifts to us in my view. The down side is when they die they will rip your heart in half. One of the worst days of your life will be the day you have to put your dog down.
Indeed. I had to put my first dog that personally owned as a adult down in 2013. He wasn’t my heart dog, but it took months to stop hearing him. My heeler girl is my heart dog. Her time is coming and in spite of having my 2nd heart dog (coonhound mix), I will be devastated.
My Son-in-Law is a Vet Tech and a dog was rushed to his hospital that had been hit by a car. He and the vet did their best to save him but he was too seriously injured.
Son-in-Law held the dog's head in his hands and the dog gave one last look up into his eyes as if to say "Thank you, friend; I knew you did your best" before dying. After that, he had to step outside the hospital to contain himself.
“Dogs are one of God’s greatest gifts to us in my view. The down side is when they die they will rip your heart in half. One of the worst days of your life will be the day you have to put your dog down.”
So very, very true.
