Loss of a good dog can be devastating. I’ve had some awesome dogs that I was closer to than most humans
I grew up on the family ranch where I live to this day. Things are done differently in the country.
My Opa and my pops had no problem shooting their dogs when it came time.
Myself, I never have been able to do that and never will. I tried once. Simply couldn’t do it.
I’ve had to shoot cattle and horses for different reasons.....and even dogs that get dumped, turn wild, pack up and run cattle
But my dog. Nope. Not happening
