Woman Cradles Shelter Dog In Her Arms Overnight So He Won't Die Alone

It’s a heartbreaking reality of dog rescue, that not every dog saved off the streets makes it.

When Janine Guido of Speranza Animal Rescue saw Watson, she could tell the dog was not only exhausted, but that he was ready to die.

Several years ago, one of my ferrets was on his last legs, and I knew he wasn't going to last the night so I held him until he went and cried and showed him to his brother so he would understand, and I felt he did.

And bravery and what we all should do for every critter we can.

That lady's one of the best on the planet.

Sobbing here & my big yellow girl wants to know why mom's crying. (I must've been a real dog-momma in a past life, I feel so connected to them.)

one day and other one came day after day until his best buddy showed up and then their spirits went off together, happily. I think they come back to say a loving good bye. So giving them a loving send off is good for their souls.
