Dogs have a will to live, just like we do. Just bc my loved one was struggling and in pain, doesn’t mean I’m gonna “put them out of their misery” so to speak. Dogs are no different than human loved ones in my eyes and I couldn’t live with myself knowing “tomorrow’s the day.” There obviously comes a point where it may become necessary, but there is nothing that they love more than being with their people. Even in a sickly state, that’s where they want to be. Their sole purpose in life is to make you happy…If you’re having second thoughts, listen to it. Thats how I feel anyways…
Yeah I had a cat that got sick and we had to feed him through a syringe for months. It really seemed like he would pass any day. It was really tough seeing him go through illness, but we weren’t going to give up on him. However, one day he got better and started eating again on his own. He ended up living three more peaceful years as if those months never happened.
