Its so rough, but you gotta be positive with what you did for that dog. You gave him a life as a best friend and so many dogs out there don't get that. They get beat and treated like shit and abandoned. I've made a point over the past few weeks of going to the pound once a week and taking a dog for a walk, and I wish everyone that loved dogs would just come in and get one if they can handle it. It does so much for the dog, and for the person. I met a guy today, who approached me about my dog, they both really liked each other right off the bat, and I could tell this guy had a connection with dogs the way they interacted. We ended up talking about his dog, and he informed me he had just put him down earlier in the month. Of course, I felt for him, told him I was sorry to hear, and he replied with "I miss him, but I gave him the best life I could give him, and after the life he had before me, I can never look back and be sad about it." It was a pretty amazing story. His dog belonged to a meth cook who lived in his neighbourhood, and it used to always get out and walk over to his house. The dirtbag would always come over, get his dog back, and go back to dirtbag shit. When the guy moved away from the crackhead neighbour, he waited all day after he packed up and had all his shit out for the dog to come by. When the dog came, he put him in the car and brought him with him, and had the dog for 10 years after that. He made sure he went to the cops, animal control etc, and made sure they knew exactly what was going on, and that was it. He gave the dog an amazing life. I agree the loss of a dog is heartbreaking, but there is no way it can outweigh the joy of having a dog, and giving him an amazing life.

Sorry for the tl:dr story, but I thought it was pretty moving.
