I mean I heard that the original owners gave him away because he had cancer. I don’t know if that’s true or not but if it is, that was probably the best thing to do. They most likely didn’t have enough money to care for him. Keeping him would’ve just led to him slowly deteriorating from the cancer.

I've lost 4 pets so far, all of them lived for more than 15years, I was there when they were just puppies and kittens and I was also there when one by one they left us. Please love them like your children or siblings, because you're all that they have and don't let them down.

The great thing about our dogs is that they can share their love without it getting any smaller. Few people can do that too. Many years ago I took a dog from a very insecure family and passed it on afterwards. He was only with me for a short time. After that I saw him less often, sometimes only once a year. He always remembered me and the fact that I took him out of the unfortunate situation back then. His friendship was huge. And he loved his new dad dearly. I think he remembers Zach, a good memory without despair, just good.

There's a very, very good reason the brightest star in the evening sky is in the Great Dog, Canis Major, constellation. It's ancient technology. By having a dog you are or you become aware of everything they're aware of. They unfortunately do not live long enough. I've had about a dozen of them, til death do we part. I can not abandon love, and they are pure unconditional bundles of love. No dog I've ever had is anything like any dogs I've had before too. They all possess their own unique personalities... But it's always a love story. I can not imagine abandoning my dog. I've had him boarded for just a few days once. He shuts down. Stops, won't eat. I can not bring myself to break an innocent heart that has brought me comfort and joy for years upon years. It's tough when they start going downhill, but it's worth every second even still.

I don't know how anyone could look at that white old face and not fall in love with him. Senior dogs are wonderful.

Wow, the way he suddenly had the energy and confidence to run is, to me, a testament to a dog's need for love. He had been just waiting it out at the shelter until he died, but once there was someone and something to live for he transformed. I know this is just one dog out of literally millions in his situation, but it does me good to think that this boy's last time was spent with caring and affectionate people.

I'm a 69 year old man with tears in my eyes. We just lost our last 12 yr old Pup (Duchess) from Cancer in her eyes. Both were removed and it was amazing how well she navigated her house and back yard. For the last 2 years, I have not left her or her brother (Super Duke) alone in the house. Super Duke died from Cancer in the previous April. We had done every medical procedure with him and it gave us 31 months of extra Loving time with him. It was not 4 months after Super Duke passed that we received Duchess diagnosis. Baby Girl (duchess) passed away on Sunday January 28th. We have all our Four Legers Ashes (total of 7). When it's is our turn we want all of us placed into a Biodegradable URN and put in the Ocean. I pray that we all will be reunited some day in the hereafter. Mom and Dad will bring Treats and Toys.

Who dumps their 16 year old dog that's been their family pet all this time. I'd do everything to make sure he beat cancer, dumping him says a lot about the ones that say they love him. Shame on you. People need to be publicly shamed, they might think twice about behaving in the deplorable way. Hats off to his rescuer.

During the course of pandemic, all three of my little dogs passed from old age, 16YO, 18YO & 20YO+. Left me broken-hearted, big time. Six weeks ago, I adopted an 11YO shepherd mix from a local shelter. He'd been left there b/c of "medical problems" (he has autoimmune disorder & so do I), adopted & returned, languished in shelter a long time. I heard his story over the phone & said I wanted him sight unseen, told my friends "I'm letting God choose my next dog. When the shelter volunteer brought him out, I thought, "Oh Lord, what have we done?" Dog was scruffy, aloof, dull coat, 55 lb. & obese, listless, ignored humans, pulled hard on his leash: a singularly unappealing animal who looked like a junkyard rescue dog on "Animal Cops Houston." He perked up once he was in the car, as if he knew he was leaving dog prison. Within 24 hours, he'd developed a PASSION for being brushed. Over several days, I pulled GALLONS of dead hair & dry skin off my new dog. Within a week of brushing & grain-free diet, he was losing weight & gleaming like a wet seal. Now, 6 weeks later, he sits, waits at the door instead of rushing ahead when we go for walks, comes when called, walks quietly by my side on the leash, brings his toy so we can play fetch, smiles, has lost weight, acts silly sometimes, has learned to howl when I howl, crawls on his tummy when I say "bang," etc. His name is now Edward (his dignity demanded a dignified name) & he's so good, people think he was "well trained" before I got him. Nope! He's just a grateful & brilliant dog who loves to love & learn. However long Edward remains here on this earth, I'll do my very best to make his life wonderful. ADOPT A SENIOR DOG! THEY'RE WONDERFUL!

It breaks my heart when people dump their senior dogs. Adopting a dog is for life, not just when they are young. You need to love them through the weak bladders, bad stomachs, arthritis, and everything else that old age throws at them. You are their entire world, their home and their hearts. Your dog will love you to their last breath, you owe it to them to love them until theirs. 💔💔

I wanted a dog for years before I adopted mine, but waited until I was in a better financial position. I also pay for health insurance for him, in case he ever has big expensive medical issues. Loosing a job/home/ or medical condition absolutely makes sense to give your dog to people who could help. However, many people adopt and when the dog is simply not as much fun or has normal aging problems they dump the dog. some of them go out and then adopt puppies again because they are cute and fun.

We created the dog. They are mankind's unconditional responsibility. Some of them can't even literally survive without us. We are their stewards. We created them to depend upon us. Any dog which isn't properly cared for is a betrayal of the implied contract we made with dogs when they joined us on the human journey. The contract: we'll take care of you and you will serve us and be our companions. We should love and care for dogs more than most people because most people don't depend on us like dogs do. People can take care of themselves, dogs shouldn't have to.

The old dogs are the best in my experience. Their wisdom and love is huge.

Adding another note - can't resist. I think it's wonderful that the parents are teaching their young daughter that all lives matter, no matter the age. And that older dogs are every bit as loving and valuable as the young ones.

Honestly they should have just kept Henry. You can see how much he loved his foster family.

The reason dogs make such wonderful companions is that they, like us, need to know there is someone who cares and will provide support and encouragement when things aren't going so well.

Speaking as someone who did rescue for many years, I can tell you this man is VERY special. There aren't a lot like him. When people say they "love" animals, they usually mean their own animal.

So I'm watching this, and I hear my name get called. Continued watching it and I got a little teary eyed. He learned how to trust these individuals.

My miniature chocolate Poodle was fifteen when we adopted her from a shelter. Her owner had passed and no one was available to continue her care. She eventually became blind and deaf but was happy, tail always wagging, and lived until nineteen. We miss "Birdie" everyday but it was such a privilege to have her a part of our family until the end. There is a very special bond that forms when you adopt a senior. Not all dogs in shelters are dumped or abandoned.
