| I'm so scared. People are all hugging me, crying and I can feel their tears on my soft coat. I feel their love and their sorrow. I gently lick their hands, even the vet doesn't seem to be unpleasant today. He's tender and I feel a relief from my pain. The little girl holds me gently and I thank her for all her love. I feel a little prick in my front paw, the pain goes away and I feel peace come over me. I gently lick those hands. My vision becomes blurred and, as if in a dream, I see my mom and my brothers and sisters, in the distance, in a green space. They tell me that there is no pain there, only peace and happiness. I bid farewell to my family in the only way I know how, with a gentle wag of my tail and a gentle push with my nose. I had hoped to spend many, many years with them, but fate decided otherwise. You see, said the vet, puppies sold in pet shops don't come from breeders with a sense of responsibility. The pain has stopped now, and I know it will be years before I see my beloved family again. If only things had been different... |
