What dogs feel
It has long been proven that the dog is one of the most loyal animals. And a good four-legged friend and defender.
Remember the movie Hachiko: The most loyal friend, it is impossible to look at him without tears. The film is based on real events: somewhere in remote Japan, the Akita Inu dog for nine years every day at the same time came to the station to meet his deceased master.
Dogs sometimes become so close to us that we begin to see them as family members. So when they leave us, we experience stress and pain. Because of fear, depression and confusion, we can leave them alone in the last minutes.
Here is what the American veterinarian Evan Shau says: When you take a pet into the house, you should understand that after a while he will leave it forever. The life of a dog is much shorter than that of a man.”
Evan Shau had to euthanize a huge number of animals that were sick and had no chance of recovery. To save them from pain, the owners asked for sedation, but tried not to be present.
