For a pet parent, the worst day is the day their beloved friend has to be put down. It’s heartwrenching to say goodbye since the bond between human and his pet becomes through time stronger and more special.
and yet, you’re forced to accept it, there is no other option to help release their pain and let them go. The last thing to do is to give them comfort and peace at their last moments
Of course, that doesn’t make it any easier to actually do.
German shepherd Argo had been trained by the Texas police and saved many lives over the years with his phenomenal efforts. Argo not only protected people, though, he also helped to fight crime by assisting officers in removing felons and their drugs from the streets of Texas. There can be no doubt that this most helpful of dogs was a loved and appreciated asset within the force.
Cruelly, Argo developed cancer. However, indicative of his nature, the canine wouldn’t give in without a real fight. He battled on bravely, though his condition deteriorated to the point where veterinarians advised it was best for him to be put to sleep.
Seconds before the procedure was due to take place, the phone at the vets started to ring. Present in the room at the time were Argo’s family members and officers from his precinct.
It transpired that the call was from the Hidalgo Country Sheriff’s Office – they were honoring Argo by giving him a radio call usually reserved to pay tribute to a fallen officer.
You can clearly see that Argo is ready to say goodbye. Despite being in a bad way, he does his best to react to the voice.
