He barked angrily at Death when he wasn't ready yet.

Beautiful. Really tugged at the wounds from losing our 4 year old basset this fall. Vet didn't know what was happening and she was in such pain :( GNU all dogs who walk the rainbow bridge.

I have a 12 year old Aussie. Death can kick rocks. My buddy will stay with me forever.

Really hit the heart strings. Ours is 15.5, but keeps surprising the vet by improving each visit

Holy fucking shit… i knew something was wrong but i neglected to think of death. Its like how that one person you know who isn’t afraid of death and wants to protect you and loved ones from it (denial mostly) but after a while they succumb to the knowledge of their oncoming death. Accepting in to open arms, or in our and ops case, the wagging of his tale. I don’t want to lose pets it hurts too much.

My boy shadow passed august the day after we came back visiting home (nyc) was his favorite place met all his old friends and my mother in law said he too one glance at the house before he got in the car, this hits home hard, but as a Buddhist I want him to leave and move onto his next life

They say you get one dog of a lifetime. Fortune has smiled on me and given me a few. I often wonder what great deed I did in a previous life to deserve the dogs I have been given!? RIP Boo and to all our special once in a lifetime pals, however many we have had.

Can confirm. Insurance would’ve saved us SOOO much when my English mastiff puppy needed leg surgery. It needed to be done so now I’m almost $20k poorer but my baby boy can go for walks with me

Does this mean death is coming for you too? Since he tried so hard to protect you from it. Even after he died. What a good boi. 🥹

Here’s the thing, I think death was coming for the owner. The dog kept them in bed, and offered to go in the owner’s place. Boobear protected the owner, and is still protecting the owner even afterwards. What a good boy

Screw you OP I’m supposed to be working but I’m crying now ;-;

My sweet girl is 12 now, hopefully I have a few more years left with her but she’s definitely slowing down. She can’t see or hear very well anymore, her teeth aren’t great and she’s going a little loopy. Losing my older dog was the worst day of my life and that was eight years ago already. I can’t bear having to go through that again with her

Just know that your little guy is at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you to join him in the afterlife when you finally reach heaven. That's where all of the pets that we love and have lost are now waiting for us to join them.

Thank you all for sharing your love for your beloved pets. My heart is so heavy knowing Boo's story resonates with so many of you. He really was a great dog.

Dammit, this made me cry for awhile. Months ago we had to have our dog put down. He was my dog of a lifetime, followed me everywhere. Now we have another one whose a close second.
