I haven’t lost my good boy yet, but every time I even think about it, i can’t help but break down in tears. He’s my family member and I raised him and saw him grow up in front of my very eyes and I don’t think I’ll truly ever be ready for that day
@@Tyborz well for the dogs you right but i do beleive my cat loves me he doesnt let anyone pet him or kiss or lays in bed with no one besides me so let me think that :D excuse my english btw
@@danieleaston723 put that at 100 thousand plus never cried harder then when my dog died. Lost family, friends still young and nothing compares to losing a dog, I’m way more scared dying not seeing Belle again such a sweetheart
I feel like it's comforting to some men. To see 2 alpha males cry over a pet. It's not something often seen in media. And honestly to some people it's frowned upon. I literally balled my eyes out for days when my rabbit of 10 years passed away. I've been told that i need to man up it's just a rabbit. But see these two cry. Makes me cry. Cause we all share the same feelings for our companions
@@thentantt hi I just lost my rabbit a few days ago and I feel your pain. I find myself thinking I’m hearing or seeing him in the corner of my eye and it’s like a tidal wave of sadness hits every time. I found my rabbit in the street and he brought so much joy to my life, I’m sure your rabbit loved you and was grateful for such a caring owner.
I held my boy when he had to get put down. Was 16, but was developing a really bad osteosarcoma in his leg.. Think of myself as a pretty tough dude. I cried like a child saying goodbye to him. Held him in my arms and pet him as he slipped away. I just said "I'll see you later buddy." And was able to walk to my truck and bawled when I got in. Snot bubbles and all. Tearing up just writing this. Miss you Charlie. I'll be with you in a bit, buddy-doo.
@@burpostockings I just put my girl of 9 years down yesterday, man i cried like a bitch still am as Im writing this. I see her everywhere, can't even get up this morning without crying right away. Her bed, this house everything feels so empty without her. I will never get over this man. I miss you Xena
Sorry for your loss. Im in the same boat I said goodbye to Scooby who was 12 yesterday due to cancer and I know he was in pain but god part of me did not want to take him to the vet which is selfish to say but I’ll miss him so much he was my best friend
I lost Kujo yesterday. He was my best friend. A 13.5 year old borador. The world's greatest dog my heart is breaking. Feeling for everyone who goes through this.
Reminds me to hold my own Cujo close.. (He is a half Corgi, half Dachshund) Edit (1 month later): As of this edit, I have lost my own Cujo to Parvo and feel your pain brother...may our good boys rest easy..
I'll never forgive myself for not being there when my dog was put down. He was so old and in pain, he was about 14. I hadn't lived a day in my life without this dog. I was 14 as well, we grew up together. And when he was in pain and leaving this world, I wasn't there for him. I just told him I loved him with all my heart and let my dad take him to the vet. Here's to Smash the Pug. A good boy I will never forget.
My dog died 2 years ago. His name was Solo. He was 145 lbs and 7 years old. I was a wreck throughout his life. I drank all the time and complained constantly. I was sad and miserable but Solo always was happy to see me and love me regardless. I was at a bar one night with a friend and my wife called and said he overate. She couldn't get him in the car bc he was too big for her to handle. I didn't know the severity of big dogs overeating so I stayed at the bar for a few more hours. My wife sent me a picture of him waiting at the door. That picture breaks my heart to this day. He knew he was dying and just wanted to see me. I finally get there and he had blown up like a balloon. I took him to the car and sat in the backseat while my wife drove us to the vet. I could tell he was dying and I cried the whole way there. They put him down and 3 of the vets were crying. I sat with him after that for probably 2 hours just ashamed and feeling like a waste of a human. I quit drinking that night. I'm now 2 years sober. I named my channel after him. He would of given his life if he knew I would be well again. He's my angel and I miss him dearly.
So sorry for your loss. Hang in there. And good job changing your life. I know how hard it can hit. My little bro cat, a beautiful maine coon boy, passed away in 2017. I still miss him to this day, and its extremely hard to talk about him. Before he passed, he was also waiting for us to get home, cause only my mother was with him on that day. He couldnt move anymore, had serious kidney issues, but at least he still met my father. He meowed one last time at him, and decided to go. My father also loved him so much. I only saw my dad cry once in my life, and this was the time.
@Lawn Mower So you're saying you had a pet, and you didn't cry over their death but did cry over people you know dying? or are you saying you never had an animal companion because you never really cared much for animals, which is why, as a consequence of never owning a pet, you never cried over the death of one? Both are different. One makes you kind of an asshole, the other makes your comment irrelevant.
@Lawn Mower no one here said anything about valuing lives of yohr pets over human lives.. the comment said "real men cry over animals and people" although i dont really understand what masculinity has to do with it but whateber, to which you said "for people. Not animals in my case" And now you say you have cried over animals but you just care about humans more. Okay buddy thanks for the information but no one really implied they didn't do the same. So when I say I hope you get better, I mean I hope you get better.
My dog is 13 coming up on 14 , eyes getting cloudier , breathing heavier , grunts when he sits , it breaks my heart seeing my bestfriend get older and older by the day , yet he still has the puppy in him , he’s still a bozo always trying to wrestle . This clip really hit me in the feels . I’m not ready to lose my pup
A bit of advice from someone who has gone through this before. Don't let your dog start to suffer.. First, it's not fair to him, but also you'll never forgive yourself. I've been there. Also, when you say goodbye, make sure he knows you're there, holding him and talking to him. It's hard, but you want his final thoughts to be of you and he together..
@@liamnissanS2K just lost my dog sunday. we used to walk (feels so fucked up saying used to) all the woods paths and hills and schools i used to go to in my town. i keep having these like anime flashbacks of us walking all these areas with huge glorious sunsets behind us. the feeling and beautify of such an image is just so sharp.
he will watch over you and protect you forever. i feel for you and know, that you have a best friend for life, in this AND the next, you best believe that!
I know Im going to get a lot of shit for this but... Im gonna say it anyway. Why the fuck put down the dog??? Do you put down your grandma, grandad or whatever? It just seems wrong. Animals want to live as long as possible. Did your dog say to you 'Please kill me'. So it did not.
Lost my best friend, guardian angel, today and had to watch this again. He was a Boxer and he was 14 years old. We knew it was the right time for him to go, but this hurts more than anything I've ever felt before.
Same boat my friend, my boy was 13. You did the right thing, animals don’t deserve to suffer to spare our feelings. It’s unfair to them. You’re a good owner.
@@jordanjamison9235 Really appreciate your kinds words man. I'm sorry for your loss as well. Hope your dog went in the most peaceful way possible, just like mine did.
Man RIP to your good boy 😢 , I also have a boxer, boxer lab mix and she is the sweetest girl, out of all my dogs she is the sweetest, she is the most calm when it comes to visitors, she usually recognizes them unlike my other dogs that take a minute to recognize them lol, she is so sweet. But if there’s a stranger she doesn’t that wants to invade my house, she would be the dog that rips them a new one lol, she is still a boxer and a savage lol
My boxer Winston was also 13 before Christmas when he past, they are part of the family its heart breaking, yours did amazing to get to 14 thats a great age!
My precious cat died in my arms yesterday morning after being attacked by dogs. It's 7am and I havent slept or eaten since she died. The only time I have felt pain like this was when my mother passed away. It's crazy how you can form such a strong connection with a little fur baby. Theres 4 ppl in my household and she sleep in a different bed each night, loved us all unconditionally.
My dog helped me get over the lowest point of my life, I was lost, the girl I was going to marry had a double life. And my husky saved my life. She died of a stroke at only 4 years old. Its like she came into my life when I needed her and she left as soon as my mental health was back to normal. God I loved her. Wish I could say thank you for everything she did for me.
Same man, I haven’t had my baby for long, he wasnt a fully year old yet. But as soon as my mental health was getting at a great place, my dog is gone. I believe he was an angel sent above. He bright so much joy to others, everyone adored him. He was the puppy whisperer at school, he is such an angel
Same, dude. Supposed to get engaged. Found out he was cheating. All i did for weeks was stay in bed. My dog stayed with me. Every second. They are important
I had a cat for over twenty years im 29 now. Literally found this cat when I was 5 years. She was around 22 when she died. I'll never forget taking her in to the vet I couldn't even speak to them due to the fact I'm choking over my tears and trying to get my words out. I wasn't even a cat person but Mitten was just my baby for so long that it didn't matter. God I loved her so much and she loved me. Slept with me every night. I'll miss her forever.
My boy died last week. Since then I've cried myself to sleep every night, and have had dreams of petting and hugging him, I even wake up with dried tears on my cheeks. I know things will get better, but oh my God, it's heartbreaking. And right before Christmas.
I'm sorry and I feel your pain I just lost my dog Zeuss 4 hours ago I spent all day yesterday and all night with him I live alone and I work alone I lost my shadow I know how you feel it fucking sucks my pets are my family 😞😭I love you zuess
@@marktwane6195 sort of. What tends to happen is both play off of eachother. Is this rehearsed? Most likely not. The conversation tends to evolve. Joe hears something interesting then he probes. Kevin does it as well and from there. They find a golden spot. Something they both lived through or have interesting thoughts about. And interview is more or less a Q&A.
I just lost my right hand man yesterday and I’ve never felt this much pain , he was my best friend since I was 14 (I’m 23 now ), when my parents divorced he would come with me everywhere till the day he died , I miss him so much I cry whenever I think about how many times he saved me from causing harm to myself or others , dogs are truly a mans best friend R.I.P Bruno Edit : hey thank you guys. I would have never guessed I would get the most support from a RU-vid comment , again thanks for having my back♥️
Oh man it took me months to get over it. Dogs are such a huge part of us. The best thing I could do was telling myself that I should be happy for all the years I got to share with my best friend, and that I should be proud of the life we gave him. I'm sure your Bruno was the happiest dog ever and loved life, always remember that. Bruno is forever grateful for the life you gave him.
My dog just passed away today, I found her this morning, and... It's the worst feeling I've ever felt. She was my best friend, 15 years by my side, a whole life shared together has come to an end. It hurts a lot, knowing that every time I come home, she wont be there to light up my life... Feels like a part of my heart just vanished, all the love she gave me, I will remember every good time I spent with her. Rest in peace, I will look for you in heaven, Güera. 🖤
😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ I’m so sorry I am feeling your pain. I lost my baby girl German shepherd 14 years today 😢😢😢😢 I love you Xena u til we meet again my love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Took my beloved Westie to be put down yesterday had her for 12 years and as a 49 year old man its the hardest thing I have ever done and even though she was suffering the guilt I feel is tremendous I held her head in my hands when she passed and the loyalty and trust she had right to the end is absolutely breaking my heart.
The day my dog passed away I was in the shower and she starts scratching and crying at the door so loud I had to get out and see what was up, it's like she knew it was her last day and she just wanted to be with me as long as she could. I held her in my arms until her last breath, she didn't cry or weap. She went so peacefully because I was able to hold her and keep her comfortable. It blows my mind the connection dogs have with us, all they know is love
Mine passed away 4 days ago. I had 14.5 great years with him. I woke up that day and he didn’t even have energy to stand up. I picked him up to take him to the emergency vet and he died in my arms as I was walking out the door. I felt his last heartbeat. I miss him so much.
“Dogs don’t have to live as long because they don’t have to learn all the lesson that humans have to. They already know how to be good so they don’t have to stick around as long as we do”. I remember reading that from a little boy that gave his take on putting his dog down. Always stuck with me
I just think it's a good thing they don't live too long because imagine if a dog is raised in a abusive home, then what? Has to live the rest of their live for 30 or 50 years in pain? It's a good thing they don't live that long.
I just saw this clip, told myself not to watch it because of the title, but I watched it anyway. I'm going through this with an aging, loved dog of 15 years. I don't wish that pain on anyone. One of the most painful experiences to go through. Watching someone you love so much, deteriorate in front of your eyes and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Heartbreaking
Lost my choc lab 5 years ago, and I still think about her everyday. I have her as my Lock Screen at night so I always get to see her again. It’s one of the worst pains I’ve ever had!
It’s just inevitable, if you ever owned a dog you felt that crushing moment. Don’t resort to that moment because you miss them, think about how much fun you had with them and be excited that you will see them again.
@@khaibinns6349 i just put my pup of 7 years down about 3 hours ago. Hardest thing I ever did in my life and I couldnt stop crying. But a few hours later a strange sense of relief came over me knowing my boy wasnt in pain anymore. But its not easy to deal with at all. I hope you and your pup enjoy the time yall have left together. But yea, its hard to let go. Good luck.
I found out today my boy has cancer in his nose, and pretty soon, he won’t be able to breathe through his nose. They gave him 2-3 months, maybe. He was a healthy, happy dog just two weeks ago. I woke up one morning and there was a growth in his nostril. That’s how fast you can lose the most important and best friend in your life. I’m making him a bucket list, and although I am completely destroyed, I can’t let him go out seeing me be utterly miserable. I have stopped crying, and began making him as happy as possible. I’m glad I have the couple months. I rescued him on day 10, he was next up to be put down. 9 years later, I have realized that he saved my life from terrible addictions and family loss. I’m still here, because of him.
So very sorry.. I feel your pain. Had to let my dog go 7 weeks ago due to mouth cancer and it still hurts like hell. Cherish every second.. know that you gave him a great life and he loves you for it.
I'm sitting here with my dogs who are 9 and 11. I've been dreading them dying since the day I fell in love with them. I didn't know I would love them so much. At this point I'm just glad they didn't die young. I had a few scares and would have been devastated if they didn't make it into old age. I'm glad you had a few months warning to spend with your dog and I hope you are doing okay.
@@rickDArula legends always die first man. I don't believe in heaven or religion but I believe there is something beautiful waiting for us over the horizon. And the greatest people always get the first invite.
F E, I don’t understand why you people are turning all this into a comment battle.. he said the dogs death was tough but his friends death obviously had more of an impact on him... I find people who do not take time to analyze things and only look at it through a single lens to be annoying and mentally exhausting.
Sorry to break this to you.. but the single answer system you learned in school is not what I learned through experience in life. Life isn’t school, I would suggest that you analyze everything even the seemingly obvious things on multiple levels.
I just lost my dog today. He was 13 going on 14. I remembered seeing this video on my feed but never clicking until now. If you've just lost your pet, I hope you find comfort, and peacefulness, and healing in all things. Love the world
Lost my yellow lab Jerry this week, and been thinking about him ever since. He gave our family fantastic memories for 15 years, and we will never forget him. Coming back to this video is comforting.
This one hit real close to home. I won't bore anyone in the comments with my sob story about my dog, but anyone who has been through it gets it. There's a special bond there between us and our pets, man. It's undeniable.
It hurts so bad today I lost my eldest pooch and I have been in tears all day, just the thought that I’ll never get to see her again in my living life is killing me, but now she is hopefully in a better place having the time of her life
@@j.a.miracle5081 i feel for the both of you. My golden retriever had to be put down due to have liver cancer. He was 7 years old and we had him since he was only a few months. I miss my little buddy
@@jmsolano0516 we have a Labrador retriever and we had him since he was a few months too, one day he started limping and we went to the vets so many times and he just kept getting worse everyday, now he’s basically paralysed and is in pain, I’m here crying at 5:30am knowing this will be the last day I have with him. He’s my best friend and I love him so much.
My dog died in my arms last night(it was my birthday) had him for 12 years. I always thought I’d be able to say goodbye to him, with a final walk or something. It hit me hard and fast.
my cat died around me and my family more then 6 months ago bro and i still feel so sad :( i hate to be one of those people but i know how it feels a lot . having those last memories are special but just think about all the other times you took him for a walk :) you made him very happy and he lived an amazing life for a dog and now his suffering is over and he can run freely with the clouds and angels high above . i noticed your comment is a little older but i hope your holding up okay and i pray for the best for you and your family g . pets passing are some of the worst pains :((((
I'm crying typing this... I just got back from the vet this morning after putting my 15 year old to sleep. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. It hurts sooo bad. The hurt is physical. My entire body hurts from this pain. 😩I really don't care if people die. But its something about watching your dog for 15 years take their last breath of air. I'm never going to be the same again.
@@JRHartley. Thanks bud! I'm doing better than I was about a month ago. Grief sucks, and it will probably never go away, but it does get less and less painful as the days go on.
I'm so sorry! Only people who really LOVE animals understand. I had my daughter's cat that I was talking care of since she was a kitten die. She was getting fixed and had pulled out some stitches and started bleeding internally. I called the after hours vet number 3 times and on the 3rd time, she finally realized something was wrong but by then it was too late. I have pics on my phone I can't look at bc I'm at work 13 hours a day 7 days a week. I'm going to visit my bf this weekend to grieve for this cat! I feel for u and I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@melissaboylan4798 That sounds terrible. I'm sorry you are going through that. All animals go to heaven though. I just got out of that stage. You have a hole in both you and your bf's hearts. Make sure you fill that hole with God's love. Understand that we all are marching towards the same place our animals are. We just arrive at different times. You will see your cat again. I absolutely promise. I'm sure your cat and my dog are best friends right now. They will keep each other company until we arrive as well. Be a good person to others, and treat all life as if it were your cat. ☮
That is one of the best quotes I have heard in a long time. Two "ninjas chopping onions". They are both ninjas in their own right. And instead of chopping onions in the kitchen, their chopping them over bong hits in a studio talking about man things. Like how much we love dogs. (I know women love dogs too, but for many guarded non-emotional damaged men, dogs are literally the only beings they trust connecting with). I never saw my dad cry. Ever! Except when his dog died. It was pretty freaky for a kid to see such a hard man, uncontrollably sobbing. Like there was this soft side of him I never knew existed (I just thought he was a sadistic prick). Dogs can do that to you. This is what it looks like when real men cry. Ninjas chopping onions. Love it! Thanks for the quote.
Hey I know I’m three months late but I’m also 19 and feel the same way. We just gotta wait for the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you are feeling better !
One of the toughest days of my life was when my dog died in early 2013. She was almost 13 years old and she was my dog since I was literally in middle school. I had graduated high school, joined the army, went overseas twice, got married all with having that dog. It was rough saying goodbye to that dog that I had grown up with. I totally understand. But now I have another dog, Mr. Perry, and he's about 3, give or take. I've had that boy for two years now and I know that it's gonna kill me when he eventually dies. But I can't even handle the thought of thinking about that.
Sorry to hear my friend. I don't know why i care to share this online, not much to comment but regarding my animals I'll put myself aside. Last year a family member in a delusional state let my dog out, he was hit by a car and passed away a few hours later on his way to the vet at the age of 4. My son begged for a new dog earlier than we were ready, and after giving in we had our new pup from the pound (7 month old boxer pit) 1 month later. He took over the house quickly and attached himself to my 3 year old daughters side. 1 week later our cat of 9 years had his legs give out from blood clots, my wife had to leave work to say her goodbye as it was her cat before knowing me. A week after that our dog from the pound, "Ducker" as he was named thanks to letting our son name him had fallen Ill. We had his stomache pumped putting us nearly in debt for him to return feeling fine. 1 week later he fell ill again and worse. I watched my dog turn to skin and bone. Every day i boiled him chicken and gave him unflavored pedialite though a childrens oral medicine syringe. About a week later after not getting better be refused all food. I ran out of options knowing he'd be dead in 24 hours if he didnt eat. I did what some should call stupid, but i smoked some pot and blew it in his nose over and over. I had no tolerance and got myself stoned out of my mind and thought he'd either die a bit more relaxed with me or finally eat. He ate 1 hour later. 1 more week of helping him to his feet and he was back on his own. This dog means everything to me. He he 1 and a half now, he pulls me on 3 mile skateboarding misions a couple times a week, learned to swim in river currents like a champ and most importantly he sits at my daughter's bedside to sleep whether she is home or not. In fact, i was pulled from my nap today with the words "your dogs out and the fucker keeps running when i get close, i give up". What a good boy, came to me the second he saw my skateboard. Stupid long comment, but i guess some of us just like to share stories of our good boys.
@@bloodyhelice4284 Thanks for sharing that. The vast majority of comments you see online are pretty negative and toxic. However, occasionally you find this random, beautiful, and profound stuff from complete strangers, but is still emotionally meaningful. I think people should open up more and hide their feelings less. For whatever that’s worth, I appreciated hearing your story.
I wont sugar coat it....it wont ever heal not even when your 45 yrs old. My cat came to us when I was 7 yrs old and died when I was 25 yrs old. I'm 41 and somedays I'll think of him and cry. But there will be times in the future you can laugh and smile over memories and not hurt....I promise
that moment when you see the vets car pull up to your house is absolutely soul destroying... after it happened i ran outside to cry my eyes out and even the vet and his assistant came out after me crying as well and gave me a massive hug. the expression 'a dog is a mans best friend' is one of the most honest statements i have ever heard in my life. my heart goes out to each and everyone of you who has lost their best buddy
The hardest moment of my life was losing my mother. Even after five years, I find myself dreaming she's still alive, only to wake up crying from the shock of being instantly reminded that she's gone.
I'm sorry. I guess my situation is somewhat similar. My Father was amazing but we didn't have the closest relationship and I always wanted one. I think part of my brain still thinks he's alive. I think of a nice vacation spot that he wanted to visit or a conversation we should have (he loved conversations on weird topics) - then the realization that he's not there hits me like a blow to the heart. There's no one to talk to within my family really. It sucks sometimes, I feel that men are supposed to take things like this on the chin and it's not right
@@Initium1000 sometimes it’s just good to cry a little. I have similar feelings about my grand dad who passed last year. I feel like all we can do is remember all the great things we’ve done with our lost loved ones and hope to make the most of the ones we still have with us. 🖖
I remember watching this at the time and just getting hit so hard that i went to spend a few hours laying beside my Australian shepherd that day and just chilled. Sadly mine just had to get put down tonight at 15 years old after having seizures and getting fluid buildup in his lungs. This hits even harder now. Rip Aussie.
Rip,lost my 9 yrs old today ,he just had a masive heart atack in the midle of tje night and after 1hr of cpr i had to stop,i just burried him ,it happend sp fast :(
I'm sorry about your dogs, guys. I had to put down four dogs (collies, like Lassie) in my life, over the course of fifty years. I miss each one really bad to this day. Each time I had to put one down, it was more and more difficult. It didn't get easier; it actually got worse because I learned a lot about dogs in those fifty years. Dogs are special.
My boy passed on today. He was just shy of 14 years old. I'm 22 now. He grew up with me. Seeing him age and deteriorate is one of the worst things I've had to go through in my life. We do not deserve dogs.
Age happens to all of us. Pets teach us the cycle of life. To focus on the worst part is a disservice to the person/pet you’ve had in your life. Remember the good times.
Lost my boy 6 months ago as well. Im 23. Had him for almost 12 years. Raised him from a baby and held him in my arms as he died. The worst pain I've ever felt. I miss him every day
I was 23 when we had to put down my dog of 17 years. At that point, had no real memory of life without her in it. She made the good times better, and the bad ones just bearable enough. When the time came, the vet came to my house and I carried her to her favorite chair. As they put the drugs in her, I stroked her hair and nuzzled her nose while singing to her. Once it was over, I carried her to the truck to be taken to the vet clinic to be cremated. I then went back into my house and destroyed anything I could get my hands on. I'm 31 now, and it's still the most devastating experience of my life. She would always scratch at my door, once the house was settled for the night, to jump on my bed to go to sleep. In the later stages, I took the mattress off the box spring and put it on the floor so she didn't have to jump. For many years, I would sometimes hear that scratch on the door, and I'd open it every time hoping for the impossible. I could live to 100, and she will still be the best friend I'll ever have
She must've been a really healthy dog to be able to live 17 years. I'm sure you took great care of her! Sorry to hear about her passing away. I've got a 4 month old lab puppy and I already catch myself thinking about him passing away someday. I'm 19 right now and he'll probably be gone by the time I'm close to 33. I have no idea how I'll cope with it
I wish I could go back to spring day in the year 2000 life was so easy all my family was still alive. Ever since then it's been nonstop death and despair I asked God if he's out there to show me a sign and nothing happens . I just want some sign I don't care what it is.. it never comes. Anybody that has ever had a pet that they had to put down. It will stick with you forever and ever. You'll never get over it you'll learn to cope a bit, but you'll never get over it
@@ph7715 "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth; the alternation of the day and the night; the ships that sail the sea for the benefit of humanity; the rain sent down by Allah from the skies, reviving the earth after its death; the scattering of all kinds of creatures throughout; the shifting of the winds; and the clouds drifting between the heavens and the earth-˹in all of this˺ are surely signs for people of understanding."
Lost my rottweiler today.. he was 12 years old. he would always be excited and shower me with affection when i return home from somewhere. wish i got more time with you buddy. hope you are happy wherever you are now bruno
My rotty is very old and I suspect I have to get him put down soon. I know the pain and my Rottweiler always welcomed me back home by rubbing his head into me, I loved it. Take care of yourself.
I gotta put my dog down in the next week or so from cancer. When shits really bad I put this video on. Knowing you’re not alone in this type of suffering helps.
Thankyou guys. I felt so alone after having to put my 10 year old dog down yesterday and you guys being vulnerable like this on camera actually has helped me right now. Bless you.
I lost my dog of 4 years earlier this week due to cancer, I remember watching this video a long time ago. But I didn’t understand the pain and sadness they experienced. Having lost a dog now I can’t begin to explain how hard it is to let go and this video is very therapeutic.
I feel for these men. When I was a kid I accidentally left the gate open. My dog ran on the road. I didn’t know. I was upstairs at the time when some of my friends said they saw a dog got ran over. I couldn’t find my dog so I went to see. As I got closer I saw it was mine. She was barely alive, I picked her up and as I got closer to my yard she looked at me and passed away. I cried in front of everyone. I miss her.
Had a similar situation with my cat... accidentally left the door open grabbing groceries next thing I know I heard a loud thud if it was my cat seizing in the road after being hit by a car.Very traumatic scene holding him until his final breath.
happened to me as a kid... accidentally didn't shut gate tight when I was playing w/friends in the summer & got a call a bit later from the lady who managed the Iceberg Drive-In (old school style burger & shake place just up the street) who got our number from our dog's tags telling us she had our dog, which sadly was hit right in front of the place.... long story short, vet tried to save it, but it was suffering & we ended up having to put it down
I can relate. I went through hell and back with my sobriety. Always falling off the wagon. My one dog who was a rescue was with me through all of it. The day I had to put him to sleep, was harder than the day my father died. I've lost a few dogs throughout my life, and they all felt like getting hit by a train but this one was the hardest. Felt like even though I took this dog in when he was stranded, he was the one who rescued me. I might be sober now, but I havn''t been the same since losing him 2 years ago. Took a huge piece of me with him that I will never regret.
Same. I haven't gone back to drugs but I still struggle with alcohol. I will be ok for months, sometimes years at a time then I relapse. The sense of relief when the alcohol hits my system is almost like air to a drowning man. I have severe anxiety and I've taken all the medications and nothing works. Except Xanax which is worse than the alcohol. I have been on another good streak..almost 9 months now but I still feel like I am white knuckling it. I remember originally listen to this podcast and it got me in the feels..still does today. I lost a puppy when I was in first grade and still think about it at 42.
RIP to my good boy. Kidney failure at 15 years old so we had to put him down once he wasn’t eating and vomiting. Very hard to watch them close their eyes but calming seeing them not suffer anymore.
I feel your pain. I have an old cat that's not been eating or drinking very much for a few weeks now. he eats just enough wet food to get by, but I fear he is getting close to a point that I do not want to think about. Few things are as heartbreakingly painful as having to let go of our great animal friends.
I remember when my dog died. I was at school and my mom texted me “He’s in a better place now”. I remember trying to hold on my tears the whole day and when I finally got home I bursted into tears. I miss him everyday and it seems things have only gotten worse since he’s left. Miss ya everyday jack 😔
It’s getting close to a year for when I had to make my goodbye to my dog Spike, I had him since I was 7 and he lived till I was 21, the deepest pain I ever had to go through was holding as he was dying of congestive heart failure, my mom and niece by my side while I just sit there falling apart losing my best pal, never take anything or anyone for granted wether it’s a pet, friend or family member, they seem like they’ll live forever but we all live on a time limit, cherish every moment you can get ❤️
Not gonna lie this podcast broke me. I haven’t cried in god knows how long, but to hear these stories and to reflect on my own life as a dog owner from before, hit VERY close to home for me.
Sarkastik Leader wow I just cryed.....I don't cry... I lost my girl Penny and man did I cry as I held her then I put her in the ground. I have a dog now and I love him and I know he loves me and I will cry again someday. Thanks Joe and kevin.
@Marc Martinez Someone shares and you call them a bitch? What is the point in hate? That is a very traumatic experience get the fuck out of here douche bag.
My doberman Black died a little more than one month ago at 8 years old of heart failure while playing with him. Best friend I ever had, i enjoyed every moment of these 8 wonderful years with him. I am sorry for Errol man, i understand the pain; he must have been a good boy
Sorry for both of your losses, my Samoyed husky Polar passed away today and we’re all in bits here, I’m sure time will heal which is light at the end of the tunnel, RIP Polar❤️
My boy KILO had lymphoma. I tried like hell to save him. I worked two jobs and spent over 8K for treatments. I was in the room when they put him down. It hurt and continues to hurt. RIP KILO 9-19-09/5-20-2019
Ouch sorry My pedigree Doberman developed bone cancer I didn’t cry when human beings died since i am supposedly such a hard ass. The amount of tears that left my body when they brought her to me to play with for the last time ever. I’ve never cried that much before and haven’t cried that much since. I miss her beyond belief and can’t bring myself to get another one yet. She was police trained and more intelligent than some human beings to be honest. Rip Cleo!!!!!!!!
My dogs legs starting to give away but . I’m just happy he’s blessed to still have his hearing, vision and good general health at the age of 12. Not sure how or why he’s always so happy but he’s an inspiration
My dog of 16 years is being put down right now, he’s had a great life. He was the best dog anyone could have ever asked for. The best. Friendly, loyal, to everyone never a single issue. My best friend growing up, Rest In Peace Apollo, Love you.
Lost my baby Napolean yesterday I'm torn so badly, it's incredible the connections we have with animals they are so giving and vulnerable and are full of unconditional love. ❤️
@@muahmichelle hope u doing fine, I just lost mine today, it happened while I was asleep too now my biggest regret is not being there for her in her last moments
@@redknockz454 thanks hope you are fine too. mine sadly choked on a ball very awful way to go. Im never buying small balls again for my dogs. our dogs will always be in our heart.
My dog passed away last year, I took care of him the best I could, fed him salmon and steaks, everything i could give him. When i went to put him down I was with him. The pain was unbearable to lose him. A year later it still hurts and I think it always will, but i'm happy my dog came into my life, I found him in a park when he was a puppy and he lived a great 14 years. If you have a dog, give them love and happiness as if everyday was their last. They're all special.
Your dog had a good owner. All dogs deserve what your dog had. Nothing can fill the void you have, but you can share your compassion with another dog on death row waiting to get adopted. I hope you find the strength to do so.
David Rodriguez he found you in that Park. You found each other it was meant to happen. They never really leave just the body. The soul becomes part of your soul.
@DECIMUS MAXIMUS it shouldn't but that's just how we're programs sometimes I know people that lost their dogs 10 plus years ago and you mentioned it and it was like they lost them yesterday they're just part of you the fact that you grieve and regret sometimes, shows the love you had
I always avoided watching this video, but today my one and only best friend, German shepherd Julius(Amos) passed away and I wanted to watch it to feel compassion. Thank you for those 5 years and I’m sorry for you my little man.
Lost my boxer earlier this year, 44 yrs old and ive never cried more in my life. Dog is the only animal that will love you unconditionally. They are gods true gift to humanity imo.
I hate that expression. I always think people who say that nonsense must be really crappy, inconsiderate owners who have made their dog's world very small. Narcissists. I'm *not* my dogs' whole life. They've got other shit going on.
@@mr.n476, exactly *how* does it mean that? Giving my dog a wide enough world that I am not the centre of it and not being narcissistic and deluded enough to think they don't have experiences and an existence separate from me makes me a bad owner? That is fucking pathetic man. I feel sorry for *you* .
I lost my childhood dog back in 2014 when I was 28. My friends and family all say it’s like I died that day too because I just haven’t been the same since. Never recovered from it. He was like my brother. Sometimes we just bond in a deep way with an animal or a person, and if that gets broken… so are you.
I literally treat my dog like my child.. I love him so much.. I would take a bullet for my dog. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true man. No one shows me as much love as my pittie “chunk” . Good ol boy
My dog is my boy. I take Perry everywhere I can take him, even if he stays in the car for just a few minutes while I'm in the store, as long as it's not too hot or cold. Perry boy loves to go out and meet people and just kiss everyone. He's about 3, give or take. Other than my girlfriend, that dog is hands down my best friend. I'd do just about anything for that boy. I'd beat the shit out of someone for my boy.
Trying to mentally prepare myself for this tomorrow. Second time I've had to go through this in 3 months. One of the few times in my life I have cried. It never gets any easier. I feel and understand you guys. The grief is real
My dog of 14 years is being put down in three days. I’ve lost a pet before but never by putting them. Seeing two grown men get emotional about their dogs made me feel better, and that I don’t have to hide my sadness from losing my best friend. I’ll miss you Wilson, I’ll see you soon buddy.
Hope you're ok mate, i'm about to through the same thing in 3 days time. Trying to prepare myself also, its heart breaking. Mine would of been 14 next month. I'm going miss my Toby so much.
Sorry to hear that man. I had a dog that was put down because I was put into foster care and my dad didn't take care of him so he was sent to the shelter and put to sleep. My dad says it's my fault for wanting a dog. He was such a happy little dog. I miss him :(
You know how when you come home and your dog is so happy to see you, even if you haven't been gone longer than 20 minutes? Doggo must think you're pretty cool. After my dog passed, I told myself I would strive to be the person she thought I was. I'm human so I make mistakes, but I try to be better for her. I'm sure the same goes for people that pass away; we're sad to see them go, but we should try to live better for them and be thankful for the time we had together.
Wow this video is what I need at this point in time cause I just lost my dog Winter yesterday and it hurts. Losing him is the hardest thing I’ve felt in all my life, but he was in pain and I had to put him down. I’ve never felt so lonely and useless then I did last night and this morning because he gave me purpose in my life. Hearing these two men cry just from the memory of their lost dog’s is very therapeutic. I’m not an emotional man but I can’t stop thinking about him and I’ve been crying every now and then as I’m working. It’s rough but I know he is in a better place and not suffering. Thanks Joe and Kevin for sharing your stories and Winter I love you and miss you. Until we meet again Rest In Peace.
Damn this hit heart, I was bawling. Two days ago, I had to say goodbye to my best friend, Maggie, my Maltese/Toy Poodle mix, after 16 years together. When we got her I was just 12. She had my heart from day one. We grew up beside each other. Through every stage: from elementary, to high school, to university, into adulthood… she was there. Through every bad day, good day, break up, birthday, celebration.. she was there. Through every year and through every season. Through the big changes and tragedies in my life and in the world. Through family births and deaths. She was there, every single day. She stopped eating on Sunday and was unable to walk, by Tuesday she had a massive seizure and we knew it was time to let her go, she was in pain. It feels like someone ripped out my heart, I miss my baby. I wish I had just one more day, I hope she knew how loved she was. It’s so strange because everything in the world is the same, yet everything in my world has changed 💔 I never understood the pain of losing a pet until it happened to me. Honestly, I’m having a way harder time than when I lost my grandparents…. Something hits very different when losing this innocent little ball of fluff that you raised and who loved you unconditionally and was completely dependent on you for 16 years😭😭
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had a tea cup Yorkie that passed away at the age of 12 last year. I have literally cried every single day since then. I feel exactly the same way! When both of my grandparents passed, I didn't feel as much pain as I felt with losing my dog. She was an inside dog that lived in my room with me everyday. I really resonated with that line "The world just kept going, but it felt like your world had stopped" When I made the decision to put my dog down, I had to say bye and give her to the nurse because I didn't have the strength to stay, otherwise I knew I would have changed my mind. I told her "Go with her mama, you'll be safe. I love you and I'll see you later." 😔
I knew she trusted me because as soon as I said that, she completely relaxed and went into the nurses' arms. Watching her leave from my arms for the final time completely broke me and I'm still recovering from the depression it put me into. As she was breathing her last breaths alone, til' this day, I always wonder if she knew how much I loved her, and how hard that decision was for me. Sending you so much love and healing your way friend 🤗 Your fur baby was lucky to have had such an amazing owner 🖤🖤
Man I'm 225lb, 6', a real ruffneck, electrician by trade, powerlifter... And what I would like to think of as a mans man... But the day I had to put my Rottie down, Jesus I cried like a fucking baby... Hardest day of my life.... Loved that dog...
Rip pocho, my life partner for 17 years, we were born the same year and my grandma decided to buy my a dog so I can play with him when I grew up. Dogs are angels.
That's basically your brother / son he was probably so dependent on you and you stuck with him for 17 years and you will probably dependent on each other. I wonder where would humanity be without dogs to love us unconditionally and to be with us in good times and bad. Life is just not fair to have to say goodbye at such a young age
If this wasn’t a tear jerker for u, get urself checked out (update my dog died last night on the 4th of July😣 the only dog I’ve ever had. 13 years I’ve grown up with her since I was 5 all I remember is life with her now I feel so alone and empty)
For those reading, when that day comes you have to put your pet down, be there with them when it happens. Just so that way they are with someone they love with they go to sleep. It'll be more comfortable for them. My biggest regrets was when one of my dogs had to be put down from old age complications. I was so sad that I refused to go to the vet and said goodbye at the car. As hard and sad as it was, I wish I was there for my dog.
I just put my dog down a week ago, and I knew I had to be there. The hardest thing for me is letting go of the moment when I couldnt feel his heart beat and trying to find it... God I know thats so sad but I wish he was still here. Be there for your dogs, they love you so much, give them everything you have too.
I was at a after school program where you lived there for the school year. My dog was dying of cancer at the time, and my family did their best to help her get better. I wasn't able to be there when they put her down. I honestly don't know how i would've handled it if i were there. But saying goodbye to her was the hardest thing ive ever done. She was my best friend 😢
I do agree, or at the least have another family member or person who the dog is comfortable with be there. I did it with my cat and while I'm sure she was a little out of it before the shot, I could definitely tell it helped keep her calmer knowing her mommy was with her. And I made myself tear up. 😢🥺 On to happier videos.
I held her, it was horrible, but I owed it to her. I've never hugged, kissed or given as much love to anything in my life and just like that she's a cold carcass laying on the table.
my dog of 18yrs was put down 20hrs ago. He died in my arms with my voice in his ear. Its one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure but I owed it to him to be there. I have no kids or spouse so I am lost at the moment.
