A man sat heartbroken in a vet’s office, saying goodbye to his beloved dog. The vet had recommended euthanasia to end the animal’s suffering, but the man asked for a few last minutes together. As he cried and whispered apologies, the dog unexpectedly perked up — standing, licking his face, and seeming full of life again.
The vets knew this brief rally often comes just before the end. They postponed the procedure, and that night the dog peacefully passed away on his own, sparing his owner the pain of making the final decision.
