That young man is braver than 60% of adults who walk out and [a.ban.don] their animal to spend its last moments [sc.ar.ed] and alone with a stranger♥️
He’s got more of a sense of respect and honor than many adults!

Robbie, a child who has suffered [a.bu.se] and [ne.gle.ct] and spent years in foster care, can understand how older dogs from [as.ylum] centres feel. The longer a child lives in foster care, the harder it is to get them adopted. The same is true for older dogs from [as.ylum] centres.

When Robbie was adopted by Maria Henry Gay and her husband, the family decided they would only take in older dogs. Even if they can’t spend many more years with the dogs. They still give them love for the rest of their lives. One of the old dogs, as the family calls the adopted dogs, was Buffy.

Buffy needed her teeth cleaned and some pulled, but because of her age, the vet did a [bl.ood test] first. Unfortunately, the results showed that the elderly dog was suffering from [ad.vanced kid.ney fa.ilure]. The family decided that the best and most loving thing to do was to let her go before she [lo.st] the will to live and stopped eating and drinking.

Maria wanted to make sure Robbie was on board with the decision and picked him up from school. When she told her son the [sa.d] news, he told her he wanted to be the one to hold Buffy when she went to heaven. Buffy fell peacefully asleep on Robbie’s lap.🐾🌈

The family was [inconsolable], but knew it was the right decision.
He share: I know what it feels like not to be loved and cared for. I don’t want any of my animals to ever feel that way. It’s [sa.d] for us when they get to heaven. 🌈 For them, it’s a happy day.🤗

Although the family [m.our.ns] the [lo.ss] of their beloved dog, Robbie reminded his parents that it’s not how long you have a dog, but how much you love it that matters most. He knows what it’s like to be unloved for so long and finally find a loving family.❤

This boy is wonderful and brave!

Such a caring loving little boy who is there for his dog. You made that dogs lasts moments beautiful and full of love.
This boy will never [a.ban.don] his pet. He’ll be with them for the good times and bad times. Well done young man.

Perfect way Mom to support son while son does the right thing in saying his last “Good-by” to his beloved dog. A lot of lessons learned there that day. ❤

Perfect mother allowing him to know [pa.in] and work thru it instead of carrying that grief his entire adult life!
God Bless him and comfort you!🙏🙏🙏
