Veterinary consultation

I recently had the opportunity to check the eyes of a dog on request of a vet… I was pretty excited bout the same… but my joy was short lived when I saw the dog… he had a malignant tumor of the eye which had eroded into the oral cavity… when we confronted with the owner about the same he asked the vet to put the dog to ‘sleep’… it was a very brave decision on the owners part as the dog was with them for 6 7 yrs… but rather than putting the dog to future suffering they decided to kill him… I witnessed a mercy killing for the first time… I couldn’t see it… I stood outside while it was done… the end was sad… but necessary for the dog… may its soul get peace and attain heaven….
