That being said, I would never place an animals life above yours, even though I don’t know you. I would rescue you and yours from a fire before a dog.
We had to put down Old Lady (white shepherd) VERY recently.
She’d almost made it to her 16th birthday, but was in so much pain and suffering...lost her hearing, her bearings and needed so many pills just to settle down every night...
We’ll never have another like her...Our Dear Girl, hard to remember a time without her. The younger kids, at ages 12 & 13, have never known life without her, and so they are mourning too.....
