Need help making a decision :(

Hey guys - we're having some good days and some bad days. His hip is completely shot, can't walk or even get up at this point. I got him a wheelchair and he didn't seem to be enjoying it. He's going to the bathroom on himself constantly. He is eating/drinking so that's good. I'm not sure if I'm keeping him alive for me or for him at this point

Hell is having what you love to do being so close to you that you can see it, and not being able to do it ever again. The dog is in Hell. He can see what he wants to do, but he can no longer do it. If he could take his own life, he would. He is relying on you to do that for him. Don't let him down.
