The death of a beloved pet

A couple of weeks ago a good friend of mine called and said, “George, our dog is suffering and is going to probably die within the next couple of days. He’s too big to carry to the veterinarian and we can’t get a veterinarian to come here. Would you come and put him out of his misery?” I think they asked me because they know I’m Pennsylvania Dutch and we do what we need to do. I drove over to their house and shot their dog.   I was really sad for them and it reminded me it reminded me of something from 70 years ago when I was 11 years old and found my beloved beagle had been severely injured. There was no adult around and I had to shoot my own dog, like in the movie “Old Yeller.” That was the humane thing to do. Having a pet means putting an end to its life sooner or later. But what a miracle from God when He made little animals that we could love - and could even love us back.
