Artist Who Made People Cry With Her Grim Reaper Animal Comics Is Back, And This Time It’s About Seeing Your Dog Being Put To Sleep
Interview With Artist
We feel like we’ve been hit right in the feels and it’s getting hard to hold back the tears. German artist Jenny Hefczyc, who goes by the name Jenny-Jinya online, has released her newest bittersweet comic. This time, Jenny drew a story about an owner’s emotional struggles as he brings his dog to the vet to be put to sleep and stays with him in his final moments. It’s so powerful, it’s bound to make any animal lover’s bottom lip tremble.
Take a deep breath, scroll down, and let us know in the comments what the comic made you feel like and if you’ve ever had to go through what the protagonist went through. You can find Bored Panda’s posts about the incredibly talented Jenny’s latest comics here, here, as well as here.
“As someone who has loved animals all her life, I naturally had to let many go at some point. I also often take in sick and injured animals, not all of them make it. I always stayed with these animals until the end because it felt natural, like the right thing to do,” Jenny told Bored Panda. “But then a heart-moving letter from a veterinarian went viral, who also asked not to leave pets alone in their final moments. This made me feel additionally confirmed and I wanted to draw about it even more.”

Give your pet one last great day
Jenny said that this comic took her longer to draw than usual. “I saw my own dog in this comic and it was often incredibly difficult for me. I was rarely so relieved that a comic was finished. But I wanted this topic to be talked about more.”
The artist also told us about how, if possible, we should give our pets one last great day before they’re put to sleep. “Let it see its friends again, let it eat its favorite food. Let it know it is loved above all else. And then escort it to its last stop, make sure that the last voice it hears is yours.”
The artist keeps reaching more and more people with her emotional cartoons. The number of Jenny’s Instagram followers have doubled over the last half a year from 174k in February to 344k in mid-August.
Earlier, the artist revealed to Bored Panda some details about her illustration process. According to Jenny, each comic takes a very different amount of time to draw. A lot depends on the amount of research the illustrator has to do—she takes every cartoon she draws very seriously.
“I need about a week for the drawing itself though,” she added.
Jenny has always wanted to be an artist
Drawing has been an obsession of Jenny’s for as long as she can remember. She joked that her mother always said that she could draw before she could walk.
“I picked up a pencil when I was a kid and I never stopped scribbling. Yeah, I always wanted to be an artist. I wanted to tell stories and create worlds,” she told us all about her love of art.
However, that doesn’t mean that Jenny draws non-stop. She said that she has to take breaks and completely get away from art to recharge and avoid burnout.
“Many small artists are frustrated that they have not yet developed their own style or have not yet found their niche. But that’s okay. That’s something that cannot be rushed,” Jenny gave other artists some advice about finding their own unique styles. “It sounds weird, but let your artistry speak out. Finding your own style and niche is something that takes time to develop. There’s simply no shortcut.”
People thanked Jenny for her comic and agreed with her message that owners should be with their pets in their final moments

I wasn't there when my cat died. He wasn't put to sleep; he was being fed and hydrated at vet's and was supposed to be examined by a more specialized vet after weekend - but he didn't make it. I couldn't be with him back then. I wish I was.

Why did I read this? These get me every time. Especially since I had to put my girl down last week. She was only 5. Our vet came to our house, so she was comfortable in familiar surroundings. I'm surprised I can type this with watery eyes.

Being there for her when she went means so much. The grief doesn't wash away the love and joy they (pets, or any loved one) bring.

That re-broke my heart. Last year I stroked my cat Solstice while she was put to sleep because she had an un-treatable tumour. The following month my other cat, Chox suffered diabetes complications and also had to be put to sleep. It was the worst months of my life. This comic perfectly portrays what it was like, knowing and waiting for the end. I still miss them everyday.

At the vet office where I work, there is a strict "no clients in the building" and "everyone must wear a facemask at all times" rule because of what's going on in the world. The only exceptions are for cases like this. Not even a pandemic should stop you from being with them when it's their time. We also light (electric) candles around the office out of respect, and to let people know to be quiet.

The ONLY thing you do just for your pup is to "give them release." This is not about you, it is about them and they will tell you when it is time and when they do PLEASE take them or have the vet come to the house, hold them, kiss them and then TELL THEM IT IS OK FOR THEM TO GO. Then, if you have other pups, take the one who is gone, home so that the others can see that their brother/sister has gone. Otherwise they will look and look for them, they can mourn but they will not be confused and afraid. Remember this is the ONLY thing you do JUST for them. And it is so hard. I have 20 urns on my mantle, and they can "see" outside, and I can see them and my heart hurts so bad, but I know that they are free, playing, healthy and they are ALL together.

I had to have one of my sweet little lovebirds put to sleep a few years ago. Something had made her very sick and so the vet asked if I wanted to keep treating her and most likely have her in constant pain and stress, or put her to sleep so that she wouldn't suffer any longer and only get worse. So I chose to have her put to sleep..but it was the hardest decision I had to make, and just looking at her as I held her and saw that look in her eyes it took me a good ten minutes or more to decide. I asked the vet if I could be there but she recommended that it might be too hard for me, and so I didn't. I regret not going with my poor baby bird and wish so many times that I did. I have another birdy now but I still miss my girl.At least they offered to cremate her for me which I really appreciated.

It mystifies me how people do not want to be with thier dogs till the very last breath. In my country a lot of vets come to your home to euthanize your dog. That is what I will do when it is time. I just hope,, I have the courage to let her go before she starts to suffer really badly and not wait until she has lost all will to live.

My beloved elderly grumpy cat is terrified of the cat carrier and the vet. When the time comes, I am hoping to use a home-visiting vet to put her to sleep. Less emotional trauma on her even though it will assuredly cost more.

We've had to do this twice in the last 3 years, and it is so hard... we get someone to come to our home so we didn't have to stress our kitties out more than their illnesses were already doing. And all I can say is "grief is the price we pay for love." Our pets are here for us every day, and we are the center of their lives. For them, I will go through anything.

I can’t even look at these photos. My puppy - a senior lab mix rescue - needed to be “put down” - keeping him alive would extend his life for a few hours, would cause him insurmountable pain and would cost $1,600. The family surrounded him. We brought his blanket. We were sobbing. When the drugs went in, something happened. His eye went to mine, “Mommy, no!” He knew. He knew, he knew. We were all the floor, trying to soothe him. He had us.

I cried when I read this comic, because it touched some nerves. I held my dog in my arms when he was put to sleep. It has been 15 years since he died, but it still hurts sometimes, also because he was and very likely will be the only dog I'll ever have.

Champion was our golden when the kids were growing up. We used to say, "Go find Dad." and he would run barking around the house looking for my husband. My husband died young. Champion's time came a few years later. He was non-responsive, in pain, he'd lost his grin, his ever-wagging tail drooped, I couldn't delay any longer. As he lay on the table I told him what a good boy he was and how much he was loved. Right at the end I said, "Go find Dad!" and his tail beat the table, thump-thump, thump-thump. And he was gone.

Several years ago, I had to have my winter white hamster (Wynter) put down as she had tumors and was definitely suffering. Because she was a hamster, I was not allowed back to where they needed to take her to be put down. She clung to my chest as I cried. When I tried to gently pull her from my chest, she fought even harder to hold on. I once again held her close as I told her that I loved her and that it would be ok and that I would see her again some day. At that moment, she let go. I still miss her so much.
Christina Uhlir 4 years ago
Why the hell they did not allow you to be with your pet?? The vet thinks that hamsters do not have feelings?

Thank you for this article. It was on my newsfeed on Facebook yesterday at a time when I was making this decision regarding my 16 yr old tabby, Richard. He has been fighting pancreatitis for four years and while his life was for the most part excellent, his recent flare-ups were getting harder to recover from. He passed away last night in my arms with the help of my amazing vet, knowing he was loved and will be loved forever. He was the best cat ever.

Thank you for posting this. It came up on my Facebook newsfeed yesterday. We have been battling pancreatitis with my 16-year-old orange tabby Richard for over four years now. Most days his quality of life has been excellent. But when it flared up, he would not do well. Twice in the past four years, I said goodbye to him only to see him recover. This time was different. The medications were taking their tolls and causing other issues. That, along with age. I was struggling with the "when" yesterday morning when I saw this article. He took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and I knew it was time. He gave me the signals and made it clear that it was time for him to go. We had made a pact four years ago that we loved each other so much, we wouldn't allow suffering if there were no chance of a good recovery. The time was here. We took him last night to our amazing vet (after hours) and he died in my arms, very peacefully, while I was softly singing his favorite song to him.

This one hit a little too close to home. I have lost three dogs. The first was alone in the kennel, he died unexpectedly and the fact he was alone is what hurts me the most. I was with the other two, one was 15 and lived the good life. My vet closed the office for us, and everyone in there was crying but she was old and sick and it was time The other, I adopted from the shelter at about 6 years old. She had been horribly abused, she never learned how to dog. She did learn she was safe, and she knew she was loved, but she didn't know how to dog. She was taken far too soon, but I gave her four years of the good life before Lymphoma took her from me. There was no way I was going to let either of them go alone. They were and are still my babies.

Oh my the tears! Our 14 year old dog had to be pts 5 weeks ago. Our vets aren't allowing anyone inside at the moment due to covid, but they brought her outside on to the grass with a drip attached so that we could be with her and they could still maintain social distancing. I'm relieved it was 3.30 in the morning so there was no one else around. It was beautiful and peaceful, and she didn't have to be alone (though she always loved the vets and all the attention and treats she'd get!). She'd been there nearly half my life (I'm 30), and life without her is awful.

When my cat Billie was put down it f*****g destroyed me. He had cancer, there were many lumps. 10 years and I still feel like I let him down, but his sister also developed cancer and we went through a years’ worth of treatment, but still she died. I didn't want Billie to go through the same. He was such just a gentle cat. F*****g miss him.

We started this year with a pack of 4 Labs, in the last 6 months we had to put down 3 of them due to old age and disease, so this really pulled on lots of raw emotion for me. The comic really captures all of the emotions; the build up, being torn as to whether you are making the right decision, the pain. Thank you so much for sharing and love to anyone of has recently lost one of their furry family members. xxx

Our maltese was 18, when we decided that it was time. Her name was Spokie (Little Ghost), named for her distinct ghostly howl but for the last month she didn't howl, she barely moved and because she was blind and deaf she got lost in the house. As the vet gave her the injection, she lifted her head and began to howl one last time but she never finished it. She passed mid-howl and it broke my heart in pieces.

Both of my cats purred while they were put to sleep as I held them (both sick at different times in my life). I am DREADING my current kitty boy and my puppy boy (who are best friends). I think it's so hard and so painful for us because our time with them is so short, but they have their WHOLE LIFE with us. Be there in the end, let the last thing they see be the human they spent loving the entire time (if you are able too!). You are the world for your pet and make the time they are with you special every day.

Of course this made me cry. I've had to put pets to sleep and it's so hard and heartbreaking even when you know they're suffering. I've had them die at home from cancer just before I was going to make the call, the last had leukemia (not feline, but actual leukemia) that wasn't diagnosed until the day before he died, which had gone into his bones, also not diagnosed until then , despite the specialist who'd examined him 2 months earlier). You just never get over losing them.

I walked her every morning her regular route that we ran or walked together. She got much better and was with us to the age of 17 peoples years. before I had to go through it again.

This comic hit me in the gut within 2 panels I was ugly crying. Honoring the gift each pet gives us is important. I cannot imagine life without a furry friend. Its nearly a decade since my first cat needed my help to pass in peace when she was nearly 16 years old. For 18 months we kept her kidneys functioning well with subcutaneous fluids. But the dang kidneys failed hard and fast. The veterinary team wept with me, gave me a pawprint and all the time I needed with her before leaving with an empty kennel. Nearly 2 years later my remaining cat was diagnosed with a lung tumor and again worked to buy whatever quality time possible. A too-quick 7 months passed with palliative care until her quality of life slipped below true quality for her. Again the vet team wept and they made that decision. I mourned for each and when the time was right I was found by a new to me cat and I helped rehome a cat who has made life better for the two of us.

I went through this with my old corgi. I imagine his soul watching the whole thing...then the comic aftermath. The vet had come to my house, so I said that I would carry his body to their car. I ended up bonking his poor head into two door frames, the vet tech tried to put a sheet on his head, but it refused to stay, then I got out the front door to some kid who was biking in the street. That poor kid stopped and probably didn't know what to make of this literal funeral procession of crying people and a clearly dead dog. I can see the reaper and my dog..."I am sure she will look back on this with a small smile for the sheer 'Weekend at Bernie's' silliness of it."

im so grateful to have been able to hold my cat of 14 years when they put her down, having to put her down was very unexpected (the medicine the vet prescribed to her ended up poisoning her..) & being heartbroken feels like an understatement but being able to hold her and talk to her in her last moments was something i will always be thankful for, the vet took her after she passed & they carefully put her in a box to take with us & my mom & i were scared to open it but when we did we saw she was curled up & looked so at peace & not in pain anymore, i know it might sound silly but it was almost like she was smiling, it was such a relief to see that & know she wasn't suffering anymore. gOd its 8:30am & i am bawling for breakfast, wasn't expecting that lmao. love your pets, do right by them, i hope they all live long happy & healthy lives 🌷

My first cat was very, very old and had lived a full life. He trusted me and I loved him, but I wasn't there when he died and it didn't really hit me until I got home and relized he was never going to be waiting for me... My second cat was very young and he had mucus in his lungs. We had to put him down at only 3 or so years old and it was super difficult, becuase he was adorable. When I saw him, he was all strapped up and I couldn't pick him up or hug him to say good-bye. Made me cry so hard, and I couldn't stay with him either. We have a new cat now, he's about the same age but hes still going strong. I have the closets bond with him, and if he dies young/early I don't know what I'll do...

I have read all the posts, sad stories when parting with our beloved furry friends; I often think about animals how they die in the wild, when they get old or injured, and how animals die in unimaginable agony in the slaughterhouses, many of them still babies - calves, lambs. The creator created horrific pain and suffering on this planet (sorry religious people, this is the reality and down-voting won't change it).

for me my 17 year old cat was running around playing then 20 minutes later was stumbling and drooling and crying. raced him to the vet... they were of course doing everything they could... IV medicine etc... he just wanted to be with me.. I was petting everywhere I could without being in the way, but they said he had a stroke and I had to make the decision to let him go.... Less than an hour earlier he was playing like a kitten would, I couldn't pick him up because of the stuff attached to him but I pet him and talked to him the whole time. I still miss him and it has been 4 years this month. took me 2 years to get another cat and then we lost him after 8 months due to a heart condition (he passed suddenly in the night) It was hard to cope but got another furbaby a few months later and he is thriving and just over a year old... But I dread having to say good-bye .

That re-broke my heart. Last year I stroked my cat Solstice while she was put to sleep because she had an un-treatable tumour. The following month my other cat, Chox suffered diabetes complications and also had to be put to sleep. It was the worst months of my life. This comic perfectly portrays what it was like, knowing and waiting for the end. I still miss them everyday.

At the vet office where I work, there is a strict "no clients in the building" and "everyone must wear a facemask at all times" rule because of what's going on in the world. The only exceptions are for cases like this. Not even a pandemic should stop you from being with them when it's their time. We also light (electric) candles around the office out of respect, and to let people know to be quiet.

The ONLY thing you do just for your pup is to "give them release." This is not about you, it is about them and they will tell you when it is time and when they do PLEASE take them or have the vet come to the house, hold them, kiss them and then TELL THEM IT IS OK FOR THEM TO GO. Then, if you have other pups, take the one who is gone, home so that the others can see that their brother/sister has gone. Otherwise they will look and look for them, they can mourn but they will not be confused and afraid. Remember this is the ONLY thing you do JUST for them. And it is so hard. I have 20 urns on my mantle, and they can "see" outside, and I can see them and my heart hurts so bad, but I know that they are free, playing, healthy and they are ALL together.

I had to have one of my sweet little lovebirds put to sleep a few years ago. Something had made her very sick and so the vet asked if I wanted to keep treating her and most likely have her in constant pain and stress, or put her to sleep so that she wouldn't suffer any longer and only get worse. So I chose to have her put to sleep..but it was the hardest decision I had to make, and just looking at her as I held her and saw that look in her eyes it took me a good ten minutes or more to decide. I asked the vet if I could be there but she recommended that it might be too hard for me, and so I didn't. I regret not going with my poor baby bird and wish so many times that I did. I have another birdy now but I still miss my girl.At least they offered to cremate her for me which I really appreciated.

It mystifies me how people do not want to be with thier dogs till the very last breath. In my country a lot of vets come to your home to euthanize your dog. That is what I will do when it is time. I just hope,, I have the courage to let her go before she starts to suffer really badly and not wait until she has lost all will to live.

I can’t even look at these photos. My puppy - a senior lab mix rescue - needed to be “put down” - keeping him alive would extend his life for a few hours, would cause him insurmountable pain and would cost $1,600. The family surrounded him. We brought his blanket. We were sobbing. When the drugs went in, something happened. His eye went to mine, “Mommy, no!” He knew. He knew, he knew. We were all the floor, trying to soothe him. He had us.

Champion was our golden when the kids were growing up. We used to say, "Go find Dad." and he would run barking around the house looking for my husband. My husband died young. Champion's time came a few years later. He was non-responsive, in pain, he'd lost his grin, his ever-wagging tail drooped, I couldn't delay any longer. As he lay on the table I told him what a good boy he was and how much he was loved. Right at the end I said, "Go find Dad!" and his tail beat the table, thump-thump, thump-thump. And he was gone.

Several years ago, I had to have my winter white hamster (Wynter) put down as she had tumors and was definitely suffering. Because she was a hamster, I was not allowed back to where they needed to take her to be put down. She clung to my chest as I cried. When I tried to gently pull her from my chest, she fought even harder to hold on. I once again held her close as I told her that I loved her and that it would be ok and that I would see her again some day. At that moment, she let go. I still miss her so much.

Thank you for this article. It was on my newsfeed on Facebook yesterday at a time when I was making this decision regarding my 16 yr old tabby, Richard. He has been fighting pancreatitis for four years and while his life was for the most part excellent, his recent flare-ups were getting harder to recover from. He passed away last night in my arms with the help of my amazing vet, knowing he was loved and will be loved forever. He was the best cat ever.

Thank you for posting this. It came up on my Facebook newsfeed yesterday. We have been battling pancreatitis with my 16-year-old orange tabby Richard for over four years now. Most days his quality of life has been excellent. But when it flared up, he would not do well. Twice in the past four years, I said goodbye to him only to see him recover. This time was different. The medications were taking their tolls and causing other issues. That, along with age. I was struggling with the "when" yesterday morning when I saw this article. He took a turn for the worse yesterday afternoon and I knew it was time. He gave me the signals and made it clear that it was time for him to go. We had made a pact four years ago that we loved each other so much, we wouldn't allow suffering if there were no chance of a good recovery. The time was here. We took him last night to our amazing vet (after hours) and he died in my arms, very peacefully, while I was softly singing his favorite song to him.

This one hit a little too close to home. I have lost three dogs. The first was alone in the kennel, he died unexpectedly and the fact he was alone is what hurts me the most. I was with the other two, one was 15 and lived the good life. My vet closed the office for us, and everyone in there was crying but she was old and sick and it was time The other, I adopted from the shelter at about 6 years old. She had been horribly abused, she never learned how to dog. She did learn she was safe, and she knew she was loved, but she didn't know how to dog. She was taken far too soon, but I gave her four years of the good life before Lymphoma took her from me. There was no way I was going to let either of them go alone. They were and are still my babies.

Oh my the tears! Our 14 year old dog had to be pts 5 weeks ago. Our vets aren't allowing anyone inside at the moment due to covid, but they brought her outside on to the grass with a drip attached so that we could be with her and they could still maintain social distancing. I'm relieved it was 3.30 in the morning so there was no one else around. It was beautiful and peaceful, and she didn't have to be alone (though she always loved the vets and all the attention and treats she'd get!). She'd been there nearly half my life (I'm 30), and life without her is awful.

Our maltese was 18, when we decided that it was time. Her name was Spokie (Little Ghost), named for her distinct ghostly howl but for the last month she didn't howl, she barely moved and because she was blind and deaf she got lost in the house. As the vet gave her the injection, she lifted her head and began to howl one last time but she never finished it. She passed mid-howl and it broke my heart in pieces.

Of course this made me cry. I've had to put pets to sleep and it's so hard and heartbreaking even when you know they're suffering. I've had them die at home from cancer just before I was going to make the call, the last had leukemia (not feline, but actual leukemia) that wasn't diagnosed until the day before he died, which had gone into his bones, also not diagnosed until then , despite the specialist who'd examined him 2 months earlier). You just never get over losing them.

This comic hit me in the gut within 2 panels I was ugly crying. Honoring the gift each pet gives us is important. I cannot imagine life without a furry friend. Its nearly a decade since my first cat needed my help to pass in peace when she was nearly 16 years old. For 18 months we kept her kidneys functioning well with subcutaneous fluids. But the dang kidneys failed hard and fast. The veterinary team wept with me, gave me a pawprint and all the time I needed with her before leaving with an empty kennel. Nearly 2 years later my remaining cat was diagnosed with a lung tumor and again worked to buy whatever quality time possible. A too-quick 7 months passed with palliative care until her quality of life slipped below true quality for her. Again the vet team wept and they made that decision. I mourned for each and when the time was right I was found by a new to me cat and I helped rehome a cat who has made life better for the two of us.

I went through this with my old corgi. I imagine his soul watching the whole thing...then the comic aftermath. The vet had come to my house, so I said that I would carry his body to their car. I ended up bonking his poor head into two door frames, the vet tech tried to put a sheet on his head, but it refused to stay, then I got out the front door to some kid who was biking in the street. That poor kid stopped and probably didn't know what to make of this literal funeral procession of crying people and a clearly dead dog. I can see the reaper and my dog..."I am sure she will look back on this with a small smile for the sheer 'Weekend at Bernie's' silliness of it."

My first cat was very, very old and had lived a full life. He trusted me and I loved him, but I wasn't there when he died and it didn't really hit me until I got home and relized he was never going to be waiting for me... My second cat was very young and he had mucus in his lungs. We had to put him down at only 3 or so years old and it was super difficult, becuase he was adorable. When I saw him, he was all strapped up and I couldn't pick him up or hug him to say good-bye. Made me cry so hard, and I couldn't stay with him either. We have a new cat now, he's about the same age but hes still going strong. I have the closets bond with him, and if he dies young/early I don't know what I'll do...

Disappointing. I refuse to read this post. There is enough sadness in the world without making people re-live an awful moment of having to put their fur baby's down?

Not interested just majorly f****n depressing. The exact reason I never wanted a dog. I can't handle saying goodbye I won't accept it
