These photos just wrenched my heart. I actually teared up at the pictures with the knowledge that my 14 yr old dog doesn't have much more time with me.

So sweet. Dogs are so wonderful - and so patient with their clumsy humans and the strange desire they have to always hug and squeeze them. (Which dogs really, really don't enjoy. You can see it in some pics, too. But they accept it because they love us)

s**t. I shouldn't browse posts like these while at work and with makeup on.

To all out there that have/going through the heartache & pain of losing a family pet the pain never goes but you learn to accept ! :(

Was a very nice article. Would be even better without the Sergent Zang who only seems to be here to be an a*s.

Yes, I'm tearing up too and can not look at all of these photos. Very touching photos. I love dogs.

I cried thinking about all my beautiful fur babies that have crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge- what wonderful times we had the love we shared- beautiful beautiful pictures

When I remember that my dog won't be with me forever I'm comforting myself with this explenation of six y.o. boy: “I know why dogs live shorter than human. People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life – like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
