I agree, you feel powerless and just have to let them go...it is the last selfless thing you can do for a loyal friend :( :( . This made me cry edit - spelling mistake thong instead of thing!
Will Hull we cried and missed our beloved blazieboy for months that was in 2016 we had 11years with him they were the most fantastic years we gave him unconditional love as he did with us was that horrible disease cancer got him but we did good bucket list for him in last few months of his life all his favourite things plus bonus ones. It's what we do for our furbabies. We are blessed as we have another furfriend in our lives he's totally loveable and adorable but bonkers wich I totally love about him. God bless x🐾🐕
I had to 3 times in 30 years..very painful but it last maybe few weeks than I do feel better.but in the back of my mind they will always be there..amen
NO I makes me angry that someone would film this. Taking away even the slightest bit of focus from your beloved pet in its final moments. lets make this about ME and MY Pain.
What a precious gift to a loyal pet. My son is a veterinarian and he states that these are very hard to do, no matter how prepared everyone is, it is still difficult. My hat is off to your service for these families to provide a dignified end to a wonderful life. Fletcher seemed to be a good buddy. This video has made me sad and joyful at the same time. Joyful because the rainbow bridge promises a happier existence, sad because it would have been fun to know him in life. Thank you for sharing these precious moments.
Jackie DiBiase I've had to do this too many times and I choose to keep on living, loving, adopting other dogs and cats. Love is worth it and reunions over the rainbow bridge are going to be very happy.
I’ve had 2 dogs that I loved like children - put to sleep. I’ve had my 4 day old son die in my arms after being taken off life support. Never take for granted those that love you. We have to be strong and make those painful decisions for our loved ones who cannot make it themselves.
I’ve read a couple of comments already here about how “wrong” it is to put a pet to sleep, and how we should remember they’re “God’s creations”, and we should “let them live until their last breath”, well I agree that they are God’s creations, but please don’t make things any harder for the pet owners whose pets are in fact suffering too much to live much longer than they already have with the pain and sickness they’re in! Having a pet put to sleep is nothing short of an act of love!
I've been an EMT for over 10 years and it's sometimes disgusting that families refuse to allow a loved one to pass on who is in a vegetative state and can't express the pain or suffering they endure. Allowing an animal to be released from their own suffering is humane and should be extended to humans as well. B
I will never ever understand these people, if your pet is not suffering and is just old and you want to let them pass naturally then by all means do so but if your pet is suffering and in pain and basically existing, not living- existing then do them a favour and euthanise them, it's a humane way to go and it's not worth watching them suffer just so they die naturally.
I dont really believe in god because i think the concept of there being a higher power is just humans not being able to process the concept of conciousness not existing, and its limiting us, be happy your here right now and live for those who arent, have an amazing day☺
My sweet Luna of 15 years died 5 minutes before we were going to put her to sleep. I honestly feel that she slipped away to spare us from making that decision we pet owners dread to make.
Thanks to Fletcher’s mom for sharing this... It means a lot to me - I did the same with family dog Candy, my dog Eva and my housemate’s dog Odie... it was hard but it’s the best cuz no more pain for them and surely to miss them... Several of my friends did the same and share beautiful stories about their and our dogs. Again, thank you!!!!
We just put our best friend, Buster to sleep today at home. He was a good boy that spent his 16 years on earth with us. He also got to the point where he couldn’t walk or eat and he has now moved on to his next adventure. Thank you for your video, it was a beautiful.
That was the most beautiful crossing of a pet I've ever seen. It was handled with such care and compassion and Fletcher got to spend his last moments in his favorite place. Of course I'm sobbing as I type this because I know how painful it is to lose a beloved pet/family member, but death is part of the cycle for everyone one of us, both human and animal. Love and cherish them every minute they are here and when they're gone remember the wonderful memories of them and the love that they gave you.
My cat Tay, was very sick and dying. I had the vet come to my home to put him to sleep, as he didn't like going to the vets. I spent the morning cuddling him in my bed, saying goodbye. He was put to sleep on my lap in the living room where he was happy. It was very hard to do, but the best for him. I still miss him. My vet, is a lovely, caring, man and didn't even charge me. 💝
Just beautiful..... what a beautiful story told! I hope that mom goes on with her life and Will always remember her puppy! You make a great idea to do IT in this way, instead of a cold iron table at the vet! Respect!!!
I had to put my lab down as she was very sick and in pain. Hardest thing I have ever done. She was my best friend, companion and helped me thru some tough times. Unconditional love given at all times.
What a beautiful ending, congratulations to all of you. I can see swellings on his poor little body so it was obviously time, and so brave and beautiful that you recognized this and unselfishly let Fletcher go to his peace before he suffered any longer.
Euthanasia for humans is very controversial and not legal everywhere. Both of my parents died in peace, surrounded by family with perfectly administered, adequate pain medication. They asked for this kind of comfortable death and I and my family were able to honour their requests.
@@rahulalives I do agree with u on this one. To be honest I dont believe in euthanising dogs. Will we ever do this to our kids? I guess not. Neither will they want it. They cant speak that doesnt mean that they want euthanasia.
It's always so sad and hurts so much. I put so many of my dogs to sleep. You feel powerless and can't do anything about it. And even after many years I sometimes still cry. Rest in peace my little dear friend Fletcher. Also to my former dogs: Ricky, Robby, Puppy, Warny and Rodger and my cats Smokey and Kitty. The dog that is living with me now is getting old, Conan says RIP Fletcher. Love from the Netherlands (Groningen)
That was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your final moments. I bet you have another doggie now, but will always remember your special bond with Fletcher.
What a beautiful way to go onto Rainbow Bridge. Fletcher had a wonderful mom . She did a wonderful thing bring you to your favourite place. Thank you for letting us see you go on your next journey.
Thank you for giving that angel such a wonderful end to his journey here on earth and making sure he knew he was loved. What a wonderful furever mom you are!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful little Fletcher. I can see he was a very precious dog . I have walked in your shoes, and you never forget the love of the moments you shared together. My heart is crying. RIP little one.
I just came across this as I put my sweet teddy bear down 2 days?ago. I cannot stop crying and I know it was for the best, but I miss her so very much. She was the sweetest, and most gentle little soul and I held her until she took her last breath. Thank you for sharing your story. Although it can never bring her back, it helps me to know I am not alone.
Very moving and emotional tribute. I’ve had many wonderful dogs over the decades. When they become too old and sick for any quality of life - let alone pain and suffering - it is time to let go and end their life peacefully and painlessly. It’s hard for those who remember them, but it’s the humane thing to do. (P.S. I put down my Shepherd a few weeks ago because she was suffering from incurable cancer. A very sad time, but she had a wonderful life).
That was a very touching and loving goodbye at the beach. When our beloved pet is suffering too much and we know each day is just too hard for them - it's the only relief we can give them where they can go in peace with us at their side. Its so painful for the ones left behind but its the most unselfish act out of love and care we have to end the pain and let them go.
What a wonderful way to say goodbye. I lost my wonderful English bull terrier in February 21 and my beautiful cat last night, just 3 months later. My heart is shattered 💔😪
Sandy: how beautiful & precious are those forever happy memories by the sand , water, sunshine & ocean air. Fletcher was still so much of herself ( and alive ), indeed amazing grace til the last very seconds.
Crying, we put a couple of our dogs down over 54 years and my heart aches for this and mine...love and miss them so much...beautiful story..God bless u
Thank you for caring for him until his last days. The dog seems liked a real nice dog and caring. I also liked the narrator’s voice, the sad voices matches the sad story and makes it even more sad and interesting to watch.
My dog was put to sleep a few hours ago. Honestly, if I'd have taken that little diva to the beach she'd be pissed! 😂 She did NOT like wet sand on her paws. She had her loved ones, her ducky, and her baby (this stuffed animal she's had since we got her 11 years ago) with her though. I'm literally a mess right now. But it's moments like this where you can TRULY appreciate what beautiful light pets brought to our lives.
My heart breaks with yours, Sandy. You gave him one of the best days of his life, you know? I've been in this same place with my Pepi, Sandy, Willy, Penny, Furbie, and Schatz. It's never easy but the love we share with our four-legged friends is worth the heartache. RIP, Fletcher.
What a precious last journey. I hope you take some comfort in that. I wanted my beloved kitty with cancer to die at home, but one night she started gasping for air and was in so much distress that I drove her to the vet. She screamed when the needle went into her thin little arm, it was horrific... but she fell asleep very quickly in my arms... and a friend of mine had her dog put down in the car because he was too weak to get out...
What a beautiful way for Fletcher to transition. Out on the beach, surrounded by those whose loved him unconditionally, just as his love for you was unconditional.
Samdy, you gave Fletcher the best life and he appreciated it. Tears are in my eyes and i'm 69. I wish all people and pets can say what Fletcher said to you. Your a great mum.
Even 7 years on, many years after I lost my last dog, it's great and amazing to see Fletcher's last moments at his/her last few moments. It's always been hard to say goodbye, but goodbye is not forever.
Thanks for sharing such personal moment, we did this to my dog, we didn't want her to suffer her fatty liver and low count of red blood cells, this helped a bit, the crying isn't forgotten.
5 years ago ,,,such a beautiful dog who actually didn't look old at all,, and the narrator's voice amazing rip dear heart, your mama will never forget you
That was such a beautiful way to pass away. How special that must have been to the furbaby and his mommy. You are doing great work . when my boy goes i hope i can bless him with an amazing send off like this.
Why am I watching this!? I have a beautiful healthy dog right now. I guess I just needed to cry? But when the time comes I would love to take my dog to her favorite place to be sent to heaven! As sad as this video was it was very good! Thank you.
The day before I put my amazing pug to sleep, we spent the whole day doing her most favoritest thing in the world,,,,,,,,laying in bed with me, her Mama person. We had hamburgers from McDonalds, we cuddled and loved all day long,,,,,,,and I hope she's on the other side remembering it as I am. I know Bailey sleeps in peace now, no more pain,,,,,,it does amaze me how fast and gentle it was. I honestly thought it would take longer. It's literally seconds after they put the 2nd medicine in. Sleep peacefully, Bailey,,,,,Mama loves you.
Holly Young i thought that doggy looked happy as it was being petted.. how does the medicine take effect so quickly after being inserted? Thought it'd take 5-10 mins to take affect in dogs body
the first medicine they put in puts them to sleep in about 2 minutes,,,,,the second medicine they put in stopped her breathing before they were finished injecting it. It's strong stuff. It was very peaceful.
At the end just reminded me of my Missy! He even looked like her. I had to put her down 10 years ago. I still have her paw print with a poem from my vet and a clay plaque with her name and print on the wall. Not only was she my best friend but she was also an emotional and physical therapy dog for me. I have to say, Out of ALL the dogs I've had in 59 years now she was the most SPECIAL ONE!!! It destroyed me having to do that. But I knew it was for the best for her not to suffer anymore. It took me a long time to come to terms with it but oh, I still miss her to this day!!!
This broke my heart into a million tiny pieces.. I had to give my baby rest 2 years ago due to cancer.. I got her when she was 6 weeks old and she was a couple of months shy of her 17th birthday.. I stayed with her until the very end, told her how much I loved her and thanked her for choosing me to be her mom.. I will not ever forget holding her little head in my hands as she took her last breath... Rest in paradise my old friend, until we meet again...
Fresh tears came to my eyes and I sob as I watch this, for I too, had to say goodbye to my beloved dog a few months ago, after 12 years of constant companionship. It is so hard to let go, but we give them a peaceful, painless end because we know it is best not to let them suffer. After a long consultation with her Vet, she came, and I called my dog over to the blanket in front of the fireplace, and she helped my precious pet quietly go to sleep. That was 10 months ago and I grieved terribly, but I'm better now. I still miss my dog but the pain has lessened most of the time now, although I think I still hear her tags on her collar clicking as they did when she go up, but then I realize she's no longer here and a pang hits my heart. But we must go on, and we have our memories of them. I think it is the only humane thing we can do for something we love so much, when their time has come and I'm relieved that we CAN take that very kind, last step for them.
My Danny, who was suffering from Hip Displacia, which most of the German Shepherds are afflicted with, I reared him for almost nine years. Very intelligent and self conscious fellow. He was suffering from multiple organ failure and was in great pain. When the time came for decision ( suggestion of my vet which I refused when he was one month old puppy ) with great pain I agreed to, seeing his pain and suffering. Though he breathed his last during the preparation itself, my inner conscious pricks me whenever the thought, that I called the vet to put him to sleep pains me most. Sorry Danny
This was the most beautiful and saddest thing I've ever seen. Saying goodbye to your beloved pet is hard, but this was coolest and most humane way to do it. At his favorite place, in his mom's arms.
I have a really sad story about my dog. When I was 10, my twin sister(fraternal) really wanted a dog. So we got a nine month old yellow lab that was rejected from a guide dog program due to having arthritis. My sister got bored with her in a week. She really grew on me, but my family and I didn't pay much attention to her, although I did used to wake up early and spend time with her and play with her. When I was fourteen my mom told me that if she didn't get daily exercise then her arthritis would get worse faster. I didn't know this before and thought it was really unfair so I started walking her every day. I also took over making sure she got the right medication at the right time, as my parents were irresponsible about it. Then I started feeding her three times a day, which my siblings and I were supposed to take turns on, but I got so incredibly fed up with their incessant arguing about whose turn it was that I said I'd do it from then on. So I pretty much took care of her on a day to day basis until I went to college, so like four years. We became really close and she got really sad when I left. I visited home to see her and spend time with her, and every time I went back it was like nothing had changed, we were still best friends, and when I was gone she would lie in my room, waiting for me. About a year and a half ago, I found out that she had stage four liver disease, and the damage was irreversible. She was given three months to live. I was gone for two of them, and I was there for most of her last month. She started acting differently, and I did as much as I could with her, but our time was limited, because I had to go back to school. One day she started following me everywhere I went. If I got up and moved somewhere else she would come lie next to me. She had never done that before but all of a sudden it was like she didn't want to ever leave my side. I felt awful the day I had to go to school, because I knew she didn't want me to leave, but I had no choice. She died a week after I left, and I didn't get to say goodbye. The first day of classes was the day that she passed away. I still wish I had gone back to be with her.
I just put down my 6 year old basset a week ago, its one of the most painful memories i have and still tears my heart appart, this is how i ended up in this video by just looking around as i grieve, my wonderful boy got very sick fast and we tried everything possible to heal him but his liver failed and would not heal, what these dog owners did is very noble, loving and extremely hard, unfortunately this is open media, where people that are not dog lovers or all sorts of mentalities could comment, not everyone will undertand this, and noy everyone knows the pain
I have done this with five pets, four of my own and one of my uncle's. It hurts more than anything but I would want my kids to do this for me if they could. I miss the pets I put down to this day. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. The ones I have now have enriched my life feel beyond belief, but they are the last pets I will own. I would not want to die before them and leave them to a questionable future. They are what makes my house a home. Much love to Fritz, Freddy, Petey, Sunshine and Jock. I think of you guys romping in the grass of heaven waiting for me. You were all so very loved and brought joy to my life and I hope I did to theirs.
Had to do this last night for my Daisy. I held her and stroked her head and neck as the injection took hold but I'm ashamed to say that I averted my eyes at the last moment, I could not stand to literally watch her go. She died with a smile on her face knowing I was there but I was not 100% engaged in the process. I also should have brought her to the vet a day or two sooner. I hope she forgives me, but I just could not let her go. RIP Daisy, the best dog.
Very touching I believe dogs really are thinking this- the last day I gave my dog filet mignon and cuddled with her gave her pain meds and watched her be in comfort for the rest of they night she and I slept and we just laid there with each other the next day until later that night then she looked ready and we went to the urgent care and we prepared for the worst thing you will ever have to do in life your heart is ripped from your chest then a dump truck runs over the rest of your body and keeps backing up and reversing over your now limp body your tears come out like a tidal wave you become dehydrated then your eyes swell up and everything is blurry your life is forever changed you sit in your room and cry try to watch movies and eat but you keep looking at her bed and thinking she is just in the other room but you wander around the house looking for her and she’s nowhere to be found you smell her blanket and her scent is still on it and luckily one day years ago you recorded both your dogs at feeding time barking and carrying on and that’s all you have left plus photographs so now you just sit there and listen to them and look at pictures will my pain ever go away I loved them more than people and cannot ever see me getting over-Brittini Bit Bit Baby Girl Sammi Bubba Love Love they idolised me because they knew I idolised them my neighbour told me they would start barking and howling then two minutes later I would pull in my driveway how did they know I was coming they were inside and couldn’t possibly see or hear me coming. Dogs are from God God bless all of you who have puppies and who have had to let one be taken based on your choice remember don’t feel guilty your decision was based on idolisation and the truest love known to man the love of a dog.My angels were BB 😊Bit Bit 2005-2021 and Bubba Sammer Nammer Love ❤Love 2004-2020😂😊😢😮😂Love DADDY POPPA POM POM MET 79STEELYMATT
These kinds of videos always kill me because I had a cat who had to be put down because of an unlucky case of leukemia at the age of four. The worst part is that I was too weak and selfish toward my own feelings to be with her when she passed. Probably my biggest regret. She would be been so much more comforted in her last moments if I had been there, and I think about it every day. I feel so guilty because of it. And she was such a good cat, too, unlike any other. She never bit or scratched. She was so loving toward everyone. She didn’t deserve to be alone in her last moments. Thank you for deciding to be with Fletcher until his very last breath.
I cry my eyes out here,cos I had to do the same thing with my beloved pup that I had for 11 years.It rips your heart out of your body.But She gave her beloved friend such a beautiful way out of this world.God bless Fletchers soul and God bless he`s beautiful mama and must HE give her comfort.
My condolences. My Momma Diamond is old n coming up to the end of her journey. Could be 6 months. Could be another couple years. When I was little, my grandparents used to say, it's not goodbye. It's so long. We'll see each other again.
I love this video, it’s so sad when you have to make that decision. You did such a great thing for your amazing dog! I’m sure he is running and playing on the beach in heaven!!
My beautiful dog has a tumor that’s obstructing her heart and stomach... and I’m preparing myself for this moment. I already feel really bad and I’ve been crying all day, but I can’t stand seeing her in pain.
Very sorry to hear..my dog is 8 years..I am giving her dog food..royal canine..ppl say it might lead to cancer but natural food makes her leg weak..I am in dilemma...pl let me know what u are feeding ur fur baby?
So very personal and I thank u for sharing. I lost my girl of 16 years a while back and even when preparing it’s difficult. Maybe this can help many other people as well.
My heart is feeling so much pains too for this beautiful dog.. Very difficult situation to think what to do and next. I. can’t write I had tears rolling down. I can’t even imagined when my pet one day going to go one day.. Who go first or me? What will happen to my pet when I go first.. RIP dear dog.. God loves u.. Fly to the beautiful rainbow 🌈 in heaven... God do let us see our love ones in heaven and our pets and strays we save them before... 🙏😭RIP all souls♥️
He is your friend, partner, defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, until the last best of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
I love that the vet covered what she was doing with the syringe with a cloth,never seen that before.Absolutel compassion.
❤
Anyone who has had to put their pet down in front of them let me just say from experience it is super painful and it literally breaks your heart
I agree, you feel powerless and just have to let them go...it is the last selfless thing you can do for a loyal friend :( :( . This made me cry

It's breaking my heart. So sad. RIP Fletcher.
No i wasnt cry, but just sad, very sad. I whish dead for people how kill and eat dogs but not for the dogs

I'm 71 and I can't stop the tears. Remembering my dog Tammy 50 years ago.
I'm not even joking when I say my chest and heart physically hurt when I was watching this. R.I.P Fletcher, I don't know you but I love you angel❤
indeed, we ALL love that sweetheart Fletcher, imagining how full his life have been with Sandy
Beautiful
😭😭😭😭
I remember Joshua when I told him , "go to sleep now. Good night." We all cried. I missed those 11 years spent with my dog, Joshua.
I'm sorry that happened
Sandy, please know you did your best for Fletcher. And Fletcher knew this too.
This one really touched my heart! I hope Sandy knows that what she did for her fur baby was the sweetest gift and he will love her forever!
Jackie DiBiase I've had to do this too many times and I choose to keep on living, loving, adopting other dogs and cats. Love is worth it and reunions over the rainbow bridge are going to be very happy.

We have to be strong and make those painful decisions for our loved ones who cannot make it themselves.

How much fun Fletcher is having now and you will see him again some day. God Bless You for being so thoughtful and the vet as well.

What a beautiful way to let your best friend go. I saw this was a couple of years ago. I hope you have found another friend to honor the one you had.
I cried and i don't usually cry.
Thimothy, crying is good for you. It is you and your body.Nothing to be afraid or ashamed of.
Me too.
So beautiful🙏💜💕
😢😢😢😢😢
Oh my God this was so Beautiful my tears wouldn't stop you took great care of your lovely Dog
I had to put my lab down as she was very sick and in pain. Hardest thing I have ever done. She was my best friend, companion and helped me thru some tough times. Unconditional love given at all times.
You loved him enough to let him go. What a way to go.
Its hard but you will have soooo many memories
Beautiful film. A life of loving, and the last, loving gift for someone who loved you so much. Thanks for sharing.

Albert Jansen, yes I have had to put 2 dogs to sleep over the years and it hurts so bad.
This video and your comment have me sobbing
That was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your final moments. I bet you have another doggie now, but will always remember your special bond with Fletcher.
What a beautiful way to go onto Rainbow Bridge. Fletcher had a wonderful mom . She did a wonderful thing bring you to your favourite place. Thank you for letting us see you go on your next journey.
Thank you for giving that angel such a wonderful end to his journey here on earth and making sure he knew he was loved. What a wonderful furever mom you are!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful little Fletcher. I can see he was a very precious dog . I have walked in your shoes, and you never forget the love of the moments you shared together. My heart is crying. RIP little one.
I just came across this as I put my sweet teddy bear down 2 days?ago. I cannot stop crying and I know it was for the best, but I miss her so very much. She was the sweetest, and most gentle little soul and I held her until she took her last breath. Thank you for sharing your story. Although it can never bring her back, it helps me to know I am not alone.
Very moving and emotional tribute. I’ve had many wonderful dogs over the decades. When they become too old and sick for any quality of life - let alone pain and suffering - it is time to let go and end their life peacefully and painlessly. It’s hard for those who remember them, but it’s the humane thing to do. (P.S. I put down my Shepherd a few weeks ago because she was suffering from incurable cancer. A very sad time, but she had a wonderful life).
That was a very touching and loving goodbye at the beach.
When our beloved pet is suffering too much and we know each day is just too hard for them - it's the only relief we can give them where they can go in peace with us at their side.
Its so painful for the ones left behind but its the most unselfish act out of love and care we have to end the pain and let them go.
What a wonderful way to say goodbye. I lost my wonderful English bull terrier in February 21 and my beautiful cat last night, just 3 months later. My heart is shattered 💔😪
What a wonderful gift you gave that beautiful dog.
Sandy: how beautiful & precious are those forever happy memories by the sand , water, sunshine & ocean air. Fletcher was still so much of herself ( and alive ), indeed amazing grace til the last very seconds.
Crying, we put a couple of our dogs down over 54 years and my heart aches for this and mine...love and miss them so much...beautiful story..God bless u
Thank you for caring for him until his last days. The dog seems liked a real nice dog and caring. I also liked the narrator’s voice, the sad voices matches the sad story and makes it even more sad and interesting to watch.
My dog was put to sleep a few hours ago. Honestly, if I'd have taken that little diva to the beach she'd be pissed! 😂 She did NOT like wet sand on her paws. She had her loved ones, her ducky, and her baby (this stuffed animal she's had since we got her 11 years ago) with her though. I'm literally a mess right now. But it's moments like this where you can TRULY appreciate what beautiful light pets brought to our lives.
My dog was just put to sleep 30 minutes ago. She was a pekingese and was only 4.
G.O.D Vegito same mine was put to sleep an hour ago :(
I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🐾🌹
My heart breaks with yours, Sandy. You gave him one of the best days of his life, you know? I've been in this same place with my Pepi, Sandy, Willy, Penny, Furbie, and Schatz. It's never easy but the love we share with our four-legged friends is worth the heartache. RIP, Fletcher.
What a precious last journey. I hope you take some comfort in that. I wanted my beloved kitty with cancer to die at home, but one night she started gasping for air and was in so much distress that I drove her to the vet. She screamed when the needle went into her thin little arm, it was horrific... but she fell asleep very quickly in my arms... and a friend of mine had her dog put down in the car because he was too weak to get out...
The hardest in life is when you lose someone close to your heart. I missed my loved ones. Wish everyone love and strength.
Im a full grown man, and I have a 19 week old puppy and this made me weep .....
What a beautiful way for Fletcher to transition. Out on the beach, surrounded by those whose loved him unconditionally, just as his love for you was unconditional.
I'm a vet assistant and let me say, I WISH every owner loved and cherished their animal as much as you do
Had to put my 15 yr old pup down last week. Yeah, it hurt. But the real pain starts the next day when you wake up and he’s no longer there.
I am an Aussie bloke, 77, ex cop, and I cried like a baby. Dear dear Fletcher and his Mum.
That was so touching tears are rolling down my face as I try to write this sleep well run free love to your mama
This an amazing video- I put my dog to sleep last night and can’t stop crying. This video made me fall little better/ thank you
That was the most beautiful send off for your dog. I'm cried n cried, I'm still crying.
Absolutely amazing...as I blink through all my tears
Samdy, you gave Fletcher the best life and he appreciated it. Tears are in my eyes and i'm 69. I wish all people and pets can say what Fletcher said to you. Your a great mum.
This is the most touching thing I’ve ever seen 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Even 7 years on, many years after I lost my last dog, it's great and amazing to see Fletcher's last moments at his/her last few moments. It's always been hard to say goodbye, but goodbye is not forever.
Wow...tears are running down my cheeks..thank you for sharing your precious moment with all...my heart goes out to you...
Thanks for sharing such personal moment, we did this to my dog, we didn't want her to suffer her fatty liver and low count of red blood cells, this helped a bit, the crying isn't forgotten.
5 years ago ,,,such a beautiful dog who actually didn't look old at all,, and the narrator's voice amazing rip dear heart, your mama will never forget you
That was such a beautiful way to pass away. How special that must have been to the furbaby and his mommy. You are doing great work . when my boy goes i hope i can bless him with an amazing send off like this.
Why am I watching this!? I have a beautiful healthy dog right now. I guess I just needed to cry? But when the time comes I would love to take my dog to her favorite place to be sent to heaven! As sad as this video was it was very good! Thank you.
The day before I put my amazing pug to sleep, we spent the whole day doing her most favoritest thing in the world,,,,,,,,laying in bed with me, her Mama person. We had hamburgers from McDonalds, we cuddled and loved all day long,,,,,,,and I hope she's on the other side remembering it as I am. I know Bailey sleeps in peace now, no more pain,,,,,,it does amaze me how fast and gentle it was. I honestly thought it would take longer. It's literally seconds after they put the 2nd medicine in. Sleep peacefully, Bailey,,,,,Mama loves you.
Holly Young i thought that doggy looked happy as it was being petted.. how does the medicine take effect so quickly after being inserted? Thought it'd take 5-10 mins to take affect in dogs body
the first medicine they put in puts them to sleep in about 2 minutes,,,,,the second medicine they put in stopped her breathing before they were finished injecting it. It's strong stuff. It was very peaceful.
At the end just reminded me of my Missy! He even looked like her. I had to put her down 10 years ago. I still have her paw print with a poem from my vet and a clay plaque with her name and print on the wall. Not only was she my best friend but she was also an emotional and physical therapy dog for me. I have to say, Out of ALL the dogs I've had in 59 years now she was the most SPECIAL ONE!!! It destroyed me having to do that. But I knew it was for the best for her not to suffer anymore. It took me a long time to come to terms with it but oh, I still miss her to this day!!!
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful boy, so sorry for your loss!!
This broke my heart into a million tiny pieces.. I had to give my baby rest 2 years ago due to cancer.. I got her when she was 6 weeks old and she was a couple of months shy of her 17th birthday.. I stayed with her until the very end, told her how much I loved her and thanked her for choosing me to be her mom.. I will not ever forget holding her little head in my hands as she took her last breath... Rest in paradise my old friend, until we meet again...
Fresh tears came to my eyes and I sob as I watch this, for I too, had to say goodbye to my beloved dog a few months ago, after 12 years of constant companionship. It is so hard to let go, but we give them a peaceful, painless end because we know it is best not to let them suffer. After a long consultation with her Vet, she came, and I called my dog over to the blanket in front of the fireplace, and she helped my precious pet quietly go to sleep. That was 10 months ago and I grieved terribly, but I'm better now. I still miss my dog but the pain has lessened most of the time now, although I think I still hear her tags on her collar clicking as they did when she go up, but then I realize she's no longer here and a pang hits my heart. But we must go on, and we have our memories of them. I think it is the only humane thing we can do for something we love so much, when their time has come and I'm relieved that we CAN take that very kind, last step for them.
What a beautiful and touching way to for your sweet pet to leave this earth. You're a great owner for doing that. 🐕❤
My Danny, who was suffering from Hip Displacia, which most of the German Shepherds are afflicted with, I reared him for almost nine years. Very intelligent and self conscious fellow. He was suffering from multiple organ failure and was in great pain. When the time came for decision ( suggestion of my vet which I refused when he was one month old puppy ) with great pain I agreed to, seeing his pain and suffering. Though he breathed his last during the preparation itself, my inner conscious pricks me whenever the thought, that I called the vet to put him to sleep pains me most. Sorry Danny
This was the most beautiful and saddest thing I've ever seen. Saying goodbye to your beloved pet is hard, but this was coolest and most humane way to do it. At his favorite place, in his mom's arms.
How beautiful! I'm so sorry for ur loss but that was so wonderful of u
I have a really sad story about my dog. When I was 10, my twin sister(fraternal) really wanted a dog. So we got a nine month old yellow lab that was rejected from a guide dog program due to having arthritis. My sister got bored with her in a week. She really grew on me, but my family and I didn't pay much attention to her, although I did used to wake up early and spend time with her and play with her. When I was fourteen my mom told me that if she didn't get daily exercise then her arthritis would get worse faster. I didn't know this before and thought it was really unfair so I started walking her every day. I also took over making sure she got the right medication at the right time, as my parents were irresponsible about it. Then I started feeding her three times a day, which my siblings and I were supposed to take turns on, but I got so incredibly fed up with their incessant arguing about whose turn it was that I said I'd do it from then on. So I pretty much took care of her on a day to day basis until I went to college, so like four years. We became really close and she got really sad when I left. I visited home to see her and spend time with her, and every time I went back it was like nothing had changed, we were still best friends, and when I was gone she would lie in my room, waiting for me. About a year and a half ago, I found out that she had stage four liver disease, and the damage was irreversible. She was given three months to live. I was gone for two of them, and I was there for most of her last month. She started acting differently, and I did as much as I could with her, but our time was limited, because I had to go back to school. One day she started following me everywhere I went. If I got up and moved somewhere else she would come lie next to me. She had never done that before but all of a sudden it was like she didn't want to ever leave my side. I felt awful the day I had to go to school, because I knew she didn't want me to leave, but I had no choice. She died a week after I left, and I didn't get to say goodbye. The first day of classes was the day that she passed away. I still wish I had gone back to be with her.
I just put down my 6 year old basset a week ago, its one of the most painful memories i have and still tears my heart appart, this is how i ended up in this video by just looking around as i grieve, my wonderful boy got very sick fast and we tried everything possible to heal him but his liver failed and would not heal, what these dog owners did is very noble, loving and extremely hard, unfortunately this is open media, where people that are not dog lovers or all sorts of mentalities could comment, not everyone will undertand this, and noy everyone knows the pain
I have done this with five pets, four of my own and one of my uncle's. It hurts more than anything but I would want my kids to do this for me if they could. I miss the pets I put down to this day. Not a day goes by that I don't think of them. The ones I have now have enriched my life feel beyond belief, but they are the last pets I will own. I would not want to die before them and leave them to a questionable future. They are what makes my house a home. Much love to Fritz, Freddy, Petey, Sunshine and Jock. I think of you guys romping in the grass of heaven waiting for me. You were all so very loved and brought joy to my life and I hope I did to theirs.
Had to do this last night for my Daisy. I held her and stroked her head and neck as the injection took hold but I'm ashamed to say that I averted my eyes at the last moment, I could not stand to literally watch her go. She died with a smile on her face knowing I was there but I was not 100% engaged in the process. I also should have brought her to the vet a day or two sooner. I hope she forgives me, but I just could not let her go. RIP Daisy, the best dog.
Rest in peace baby 💖😭😭 I'm crying so much. xxx 😇😇❤️❤️❤️
Me too, an old bloke 77. Can't help it.
Beautiful. You did the right thing and gave him a wonderful life full of love 🐶❤️
Very touching I believe dogs really are thinking this- the last day I gave my dog filet mignon and cuddled with her gave her pain meds and watched her be in comfort for the rest of they night she and I slept and we just laid there with each other the next day until later that night then she looked ready and we went to the urgent care and we prepared for the worst thing you will ever have to do in life your heart is ripped from your chest then a dump truck runs over the rest of your body and keeps backing up and reversing over your now limp body your tears come out like a tidal wave you become dehydrated then your eyes swell up and everything is blurry your life is forever changed you sit in your room and cry try to watch movies and eat but you keep looking at her bed and thinking she is just in the other room but you wander around the house looking for her and she’s nowhere to be found you smell her blanket and her scent is still on it and luckily one day years ago you recorded both your dogs at feeding time barking and carrying on and that’s all you have left plus photographs so now you just sit there and listen to them and look at pictures will my pain ever go away I loved them more than people and cannot ever see me getting over-Brittini Bit Bit Baby Girl Sammi Bubba Love Love they idolised me because they knew I idolised them my neighbour told me they would start barking and howling then two minutes later I would pull in my driveway how did they know I was coming they were inside and couldn’t possibly see or hear me coming. Dogs are from God God bless all of you who have puppies and who have had to let one be taken based on your choice remember don’t feel guilty your decision was based on idolisation and the truest love known to man the love of a dog.My angels were BB 😊Bit Bit 2005-2021 and Bubba Sammer Nammer Love ❤Love 2004-2020😂😊😢😮😂Love DADDY POPPA POM POM MET 79STEELYMATT
These kinds of videos always kill me because I had a cat who had to be put down because of an unlucky case of leukemia at the age of four. The worst part is that I was too weak and selfish toward my own feelings to be with her when she passed. Probably my biggest regret. She would be been so much more comforted in her last moments if I had been there, and I think about it every day. I feel so guilty because of it. And she was such a good cat, too, unlike any other. She never bit or scratched. She was so loving toward everyone. She didn’t deserve to be alone in her last moments. Thank you for deciding to be with Fletcher until his very last breath.
Beautiful,heartbreaking but so beautiful.
what a wonderful final gift you could give him :) so much love and in such a wonderful place for him xx
I cry my eyes out here,cos I had to do the same thing with my beloved pup that I had for 11 years.It rips your heart out of your body.But She gave her beloved friend such a beautiful way out of this world.God bless Fletchers soul and God bless he`s beautiful mama and must HE give her comfort.
My condolences. My Momma Diamond is old n coming up to the end of her journey. Could be 6 months. Could be another couple years. When I was little, my grandparents used to say, it's not goodbye. It's so long. We'll see each other again.
my gosh, an old man of 76, i cried, and cried. rest lovely beautiful doggy, rest.
I"m so sorry for your loss. My big ole 14 yo 130lb dog Max died 2 weeks ago and I still can't stop crying. It hurts so much.
I love this video, it’s so sad when you have to make that decision. You did such a great thing for your amazing dog! I’m sure he is running and playing on the beach in heaven!!
This was beautiful!
I had to put my 15 year old cat Carl to sleep last week. Words cant describe the pain, but I'll get through this.
How beautiful to do it on his beach...what a wonderful way to go....and bravo Mama for making his last moments joyous.
Very respectful of the vet to cover the injection with a blanket as she was giving it.
Beautiful ceremony tribute to your best friend!
Wow, very touching and emotional. Thanks for sharing and thanks for making a decision best for the dog. You guys are good people.
My beautiful dog has a tumor that’s obstructing her heart and stomach... and I’m preparing myself for this moment. I already feel really bad and I’ve been crying all day, but I can’t stand seeing her in pain.
Very sorry to hear..my dog is 8 years..I am giving her dog food..royal canine..ppl say it might lead to cancer but natural food makes her leg weak..I am in dilemma...pl let me know what u are feeding ur fur baby?
That dog was very much loved to the end. What a peaceful way to go!
I am crying like a baby, Fletcher is beautiful and free from pain, now having fun with his friends in doggy heaven x
So very personal and I thank u for sharing. I lost my girl of 16 years a while back and even when preparing it’s difficult. Maybe this can help many other people as well.
This has to be the saddest video ever. But it’s a great one. Job loving your dog
This is absolutely the most touching video I have ever seen in my 69 years. GOd bless the "mommie" who had the wisdom to let her baby go in Peace.
Beautiful dog, huge tears...so sorry for your loss.
My heart is feeling so much pains too for this beautiful dog.. Very difficult situation to think what to do and next. I. can’t write I had tears rolling down. I can’t even imagined when my pet one day going to go one day.. Who go first or me? What will happen to my pet when I go first..
RIP dear dog.. God loves u.. Fly to the beautiful rainbow 🌈 in heaven... God do let us see our love ones in heaven and our pets and strays we save them before... 🙏😭RIP all souls♥️

I’m sobbing here. Rest beautiful one. Go see Hobbs & Hobbes.
He is your friend, partner, defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, until the last best of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
My pup is 11months old....I think about this everyday ...I dread this day sir my pup n me.
