I handed my dog to my vet to be put down.He was 17.I was distraught.There can't be anything emotionally worse than that.

The reason it's so hard to put a dog down is that they trusted you from the day you got them to the day you put them down for the last time. In all that time they give you unconditional love. No judgement. and they are glad to see you every time you come home.
No other thing comes even close to creating the bond between a man and his dog.
I don't cry very often, but will cry a river when i have to say goodbye to my dog.

Very well said 6:48 AM; I think I still suffer from having to put down my first pet. I was 14 and her back was broken from being run over; she was not AKC by any stretch but she was as you say very trustful and faithful. I couldn't be part of "seeing her off" and still think of her often.

They're the best and most loyal friend you'll
ever have! Only an animal lover could ever understand
the pain of losing them.

Know that when it's time to let them go , you
are giving them the last loving thing you can
give them, and that is to no longer suffer .


Some yrs. ago we had taken our dog to our Vet, Dr.
E. Palmer, to have her put to sleep . I will never
forget what He told when I said to him," This has to
be the hardest part of your job."His reply , " Not really,
I know it's the last thing I can do to help them. "
I don't think he realize how much those words helped me !

Although the pain is still there when you have to let
them go , you know you have done what is right , in your heart
for your beloved friend . ew

I often wonder why dogs can't live as long as humans. At least 30 year's. It seems you get them for the kids. All through grade school, High School, and college. Vacations. Everything. Then when everyone has gone and it's just you and him. They Die.
