This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

I have had the same experience. The guilt was horrible. Am I doing the right thing? The truth is that dogs just don’t live long. There comes a point when their time on this earth is over and nothing can change that. They had a good life. They were loved. What more can anyone ask for?

The hardest thing I ever did with my dog was collect her ashes from the vet and bring her on one last walk home. (There was a lot of pollen in the air that day and I was crying all the way home)

That’s one of the most beautiful and touches videos I’ve ever seen in my life. I don’t cry often…but I am now. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being such a light in Manolo’s life.

When I was in college there was a guy that would walk his dogs through campus. They were two beautiful shelties. I finally got the courage to go over and see if I could pet them. He teared up and said he would love it because one of them was going to be put down later that day and it was their…

…last walk together because she was full of cancer and was barely making it through the walk. He cried, I cried, and the dog wiggled her butt because she was having a wonderful time meeting new friends. I still think about that day 15 years later.

My boy went to vet in pain and vet called me from operating room to say he had progressive cancer not operating type. I can sew him up and send him home but it wouldn’t be fair to him. I relied I don’t want him to be afraid. I let him go before it got terrible. Wish we could do this for people

You didn’t mention why it was his last day. I kept looking for something in his physical state and behavior that made him appear sick, but I didn’t see anything to indicate that. He looked happy and healthy for his age. Oops, I mean her I guess? Anyway, I love how you handled this.

“This is the deal you make when you bring them home: you don’t get to keep them forever. It’s your job to give them a great life for as long as you can, and then see them off with love.” h/t to the person who wrote this when their beloved dog passed.

He's wagging his tail. He can eat. He can pick. He can enjoy life. He's obviously not in excruciating pain or anything. Why did you feel the need to kill a dog that could clearly still enjoy life if you could just be bothered to look after him in his deteriorating years. Shame on you.

I wish Manolo's family the joy of their memories, of the dog treats they will soon find from last year in the pockets of their winter coats, and the fur that will still cling to their black pants when they get up from the couch. Here's to you, Manolo. ❤️

saying goodbye to a furry friend is so tough. In 3 weeks time I had to put down my two dogs I had for a dozen years. The male could no long walk around and kept having seizures, the female had water around her heart and stopped eating after her brother died. I hope mom is spoiling them in heaven.
