After eleven joyful years with his devoted family, it was time for Sef the German Shepherd to cross the rainbow bridge after a significant decline in his health.
Goodbye Sef
The decision to put Sef down was incredibly difficult for his owners. Still, the dog's quality of life had deteriorated so much that even basic activities were now impossible for the poor pup.
Sef's younger canine siblings, Rhonin and Jaina, remained a constant support, ensuring he never felt alone.
But sadly, despite the owners' valiant efforts to explore treatments, they faced the harsh reality that euthanasia was the only humane option left. However, they were determined for Sef to have as peaceful an end as possible in comforting and familiar surroundings. Thankfully, their vet agreed to visit Sef at home for the euthanasia procedure.
RIP Sef
As the heartbreaking day arrived, an unexpected scene unfolded. Rhonin and Jaina seemed to sense that something significant was about to happen, and it was time to say goodbye to their big brother. Usually active and happy dogs, this morning, Rhonin and Jaina remained calm and subdued, spending the whole morning sitting next to the sofa where Sef was.
Incredibly, just before the vet arrived, the duo began licking Sef to reassure him and tell him they love him. They then let their owners take over. As his heartbroken owners cradled him in their arms, stroked his ears and whispered loving words to him, the vet gave Sef the medicine to end his suffering.
The moving scene marked the end of Sef's earthly journey, surrounded by the unwavering love of his devoted family, who will never forget him.
