An owner brought in a 13-year-old dog, asking to euthanize him just because he had bad legs from arthritis. The dog shivered in terror, as if he understood what was about to happen. Looking into the dog's eyes, the vet couldn't do it. So, she decided to take him... in herself, giving him a brand-new name: Sam. 🐕‍🦺💓💓show more

Just put him to sleep simply because of a painful leg? No! The vet deserves my utmost respect! I would have done the same thing—taken him in and adopted him.

Senior dogs are great. Good manners, house trained, and a good grasp of English. Let them live their best lives for the time they have left.

Thanks to the Vet for being compassionate and doing right by this dog.

Bravo! Too many people are wanting to euthanize their pets because they got older! OLDER PETS ARE NOT THR0W AWAYS! And neither are your grandparents!!!

Those eyes when he looks up at her! 🥺

I got my Honey dog from vet office where I worked the same way. Except, Honey was hit by car and owners couldn't afford surgery.

Thank you for support

What a handsome boy. Such a scared look in his eyes. So heartbreaking for him. Thanks to the vet for showing him love.

God Bless you

Thank you for giving him a second chance.

Gummy bears for Sam ! You be welcome by my side till the day the good lord returns! Love this dog and wish Sam was here right now! Respectfully yours CK

@SMHatLibs Some people don’t deserve to own a dog or cat. People can be cruel and heartless. Did they think the dogs life would be short and never need vet care? Sick bastards!!! This vet is a hero for taking him in to her home.

My heart breaks for ‘Sam”. There’s no good answer.

THANK YOU. SHAME ON ANY OWNER LIKE THIS....when you get arthritis, I hope your kids put u in a home and you SIT THERE!!!

I took in a 16yo cat, and gave her three additional years of a good life. However, I kept her alive too long. She was suffering badly at the end. Euthanasia ends suffering

Is this dog Still Around?

My oldest dog has bad legs from arthritis as well, can't walk on his own, but I couldn't stand to put him down yet, even if he is 16. He still is sassy and wanting to eat well and not in a lot of pain 🙏

I think the owner needs to be euthanized honestly. What a POS

that is very dumbling excuse to get rid of a dog because his legs don't work that dog was with you and showed you love all these many years and you want to drop it like it's a piece of garbage you're a bunch of jerks

you fucking kidding me? people will euthanize dogs now because they have "bad legs from arthritis?" this is unbelievable. poor baby, looking at those sweet little eyes he still has a lot of life left in him.

Thank you Dr

Don't know how vets do this,'on a regular....., 😭😭😭😭 I have so much respect for them......

Who films something like that…, Staged BS for clicks

Good for her 🤞👍🏻

I would've done the same thing.

Never

I have bone on bone hip arthritis and people want to condemn me to an MD butcher shop.

Melihat apa yang dialami Sam,mengingatku pada lupo, anjing husky milik kami yang umurnya kurang lebih sama dan mengalamiaslah yang sama,kaki belakang SDH ga kuat lagi menopang tubuhnya....keputusan dokter untuk mengadopsi sunggu mulia,full respect. Buat Sam cepat sembuh♥️

My boys are 12 and 11 . There is no way on this earth I would ever euthanize them because they have arthritis.

My dog lived to 18. I miss her. Can I tell a vet I will adopt such a dog as this?

Good for her!

Shame on the owner. Don't ever get another pet.

Je ne sais pas comment cela peut être possible d’euthanasier un beau chien merveilleux pour des arthrites; C’edt très facile pour certains de chèvre de chien pour ça ; avec leurs excuses bidons et debiles
