Robbie, a young boy who has been abused and neglected and spent many years in the nursing system, can be related to the feelings of a senior shelter dog. The longer a toddler is in the care system, the harder it's for them to urge adopted. AnA similar situation exists with elderly shelter dogs. Most adopters want babies or puppies, but everyone deserves a loving family.
This is why when Robbie was adopted by Maria Henry Gay and her husband, the family decided that they might only adopt older dogs. While they'll not have years with the dogs, they shower them amorously for the remainder of their lives. One among the “old people,” what the family calls their adopted dogs, was Buffy.
Buffy originally planned to clean her teeth and pull out a few teeth, but due to her age, the veterinarian first performed a blood test. Sadly, the results showed the senior dog had an advanced renal failure. The family decided “that the kindest and most loving thing to try to to would be to let her go before she lost her will to measure and stopped eating and drinking.”
Maria wants to make sure Robbie is part of the choice So she picked him up from school. When she told her boy the sad news, he said that he wanted to be the one to carry Buffy as she visited Heaven. Buffy passed peacefully in Robbie’s lap.
The family was heartbroken but knew it had been the proper decision. Maria was so pleased with her son and said, “On the way home I told him how proud I used to be of him for understanding the importance of caring for old animals and helping to form sure they never ever suffer.”
He replied by saying, “I skills it feels to not be loved or cared for and that I don’t want any animal of mine to ever feel that way. It’s only sad for us once they attend heaven. It’s a cheerful day for them. Many thanks for being pleased with me. Are you ok, Mom?”
Although the family is grieving for his or her beloved dog, Robbie reminded his parents that it doesn’t matter how long you've got a dog but what proportion you're keen on it. He knew what it was like to find a loving family after a long time without love. He told his mom, “well you’ve only known me for 2 years but you're keen on me like it’s been forever.” The family will still adopt older dogs and show them the love they deserve. Adopt don’t shop!
