OConnell and Garvin, both veterinarians, got married this September. And they wanted Charlie to be there But Charlie, who was 15 years old, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year. His condition had deteriorated. And it was clear Charlie wouldnt live much longer.
But they really wanted him in the wedding, because thats the brides thats like her soul dog.
He may not have been able to do what he wanted to do, and his body was definitely failing him, OConnell said. But he was happy to be there.

Such a beautiful pup, so glad he was able to be at the wedding..Reading this story made me cry..RIP sweet Charlie you won’t be forgotten
Me too, I just had to put down my beloved cat yesterday morning.........
Black labs are the best.
It still tears at me almost eleven years later, but the poor guy was just suffering. Only had to do that to one kitty over the years, the others just died in their sleep or disappeared.
If the Dog was wearing one of those Trump Doggie Coats, this Article would never had made the page of the WaPoo...
I am so sorry for your loss :( I have two pups, actually they are my sisters pups but I consider them my babies..Nemo is a Pomeranian Mix, about 13 years old, and Maxie, a Shih Tzu who is going to turn 11 in December..Nemo has tummy problems(And Trachea collapse, guess its common in small toy dogs) it breaks my heart that dogs/cats cant live forever. I cant imagine my life without my beloved four legged friends
So sorry for your loss. Putting a beloved pet to sleep is one of the hardest things you can do.
Oh no! So sorry!
I am so sorry for your loss. Was your kitty old? I thank G-d my 2 fur babies are right here next to me, undertaking important naps.
That must be so hard. I’m so sorry.
