  • This was a tough video to make. Telling the story of my baby beagle, Minnie, is something I've been pondering over the past 10 years and now I finally feel ready.
    Up until this point, February 8, 2011 was one of the hardest days of my life but that experience and the lessons I learned then have helped me get through the even harder period now. I am so grateful and thankful for the good times as well as the bad, for the laughter and joy as well as the sadness and pain. Thank you all again for giving me the opportunity to pour my heart out.

    I got a labrador last week. For the first four days he was playful and really happy and i got attached to him. But on the fifth day he started vomiting. We never left out on anything to make him well again, but sadly he passed away today in peace. 6 days before his death he went and slept on the lap of my grandfather who was praying at that moment. So, this comforts that maybe he was a lost soul who hadn’t got peace but our home and our family was a place for him to get peace and be freed for eternity. Hope he rests in peace. Love you Simba ❤️

    it's already been 5 years since I lost my beagle (we got her when i was 5 so i didn't really remember life without her). I had serious mental health problems and had no friends, she was the only creature I was close to and I absolutely adored her, we did everything together (from sleeping in my bed or eating breakfast at the table to going on adventures). I spent the first year after losing her crying every single day (most days multiple times a day) and even now, after 5 years I end up crying when i think about her. The pain just never goes away and my dream is to one day get another beagle

    This video made cry and remember my dog who passed away a few years ago. He was suffering from diabetes which is a death disease for dogs. The reason he got it is because our familiy gave him human food sometimes. His eyes turned into white and he couldn’t see anything but he somehow could figure the way to walk around house. We gave him an injection every day to prevent the disease. He really hated it. I hope he knew that we never intended to suffer him. I couldn’t foegive myself for what I had put him through but at the same time I hope he hsd thought that he had a wonderful time with us and loved us as much as we did.

    I never really cry on movies or videos, but this one hit me differently! It’s really simply made but you make it in a way that connects you to people.
    I had a Labrador named Coco once, I believe she died the same way but we didn’t get to bring her to the vet as she just wanted to rest. I miss her, I really do. I remember sitting there, talking to her before she passed. I know she can’t see me anymore but i know that she can hear me. I kinda have a lot of regrets, like not spending as much time as i could’ve with her on my free time. 4 years before she passed, we got a Beagle too! She was really patient with him and that just made me love her even more.
    To be honest, this is the most time I got to spend with my Beagle because this is the most time i’ve spent home too. I cherish every moment with him, even built him a fence so he can roam around the yard freely. I cherish all the times that he escaped, me trying to find him before sundown. I’m trying my best not repeat the sane regrets I had with Coco.

    This hits home man. Lost my childhood dog after 17 years, last November. It was tough, but she was in pain and not eating or drinking, even with my mom’s assistance. My mom & I brought her to the vet and had to say goodbye. She would no longer suffer, she would no longer feel pain; she would be going to a better place. It still is hard at times to imagine her not there when I visit my parents, or still finding clumps of fur around the corners of the house. It was tough, but I’m glad she lived such a long & loved life. ♥️

    A few years ago my grandfather's, and basically the whole family's, dog died. Mike, our english mastiff, simply died of old age. His aging body just couldn't take the stress further. When he was euthanized it affected us all and hit my grandpa like a' semi truck. For weeks after Mike's passing my grandfather rarely spoke and had this seemily eternal empty look in his eyes. As if his mind was drifting elsewhere as he silently sat in his chair. A man who once sprung into excited theatrics at the mundane errand of going to the bank now simply silently took up and left the house. A man who'd return from picking up something from the post office with a' box of Mike & Ikes for me and some dollar toys for my at the time two year old brother. Now quitely walked inside, put his coat away, and sat down returning to staring into the abyss of grief that had swallowed him whole. With handling my own grieving, alongside the stresses of school and other personal events, it was utterly agonizing to see him in that state. That dog helped him overcome the depression and trauma coming from years of working in EMC just to end up being put in an ambulance himself due to a' motorcycle crash. That dog was one of my only friends during my early childhood of being bullied relentlessly by my classmates as I was neglected by the teachers and even principal in the hellhole that was my first elementary school. I miss you Mikey. I ain't no praying man but I wish to see you again someday.

    A dog is an animal that doesn't judge, doesn't leave, is loyal, and loves unconditionally. After a while they tend to blend into your life and you don't realize how precious every moment is until it's gone. The love of a dog is something no human can replicate, making it so much more devastating when they're gone. Suddenly you notice the hole they filled in your heart that's reopened. I lost my dog Sunny over 10 years ago and I still think of him every day. Trust me, the grief never goes away but it gets easier to cope with as time passes.

    It was really hard to watch this as I just lost a pet and I’m sitting here crying because my dog that I have now reminds me of the connection you have to Minnie. He’s more than a dog, he’s family, and a connection to my father who passed away. Pets really are special and while it’s painful to see them go, the joy we bring each other is worth it

    This really hit home for me. For me I never got to say goodbye to my Tinkerbell. She was such a wonderful dog and I miss her so so much. The last time I saw her was before a trip to Hawaii. My family was in such a hurry and I was so excited that I didn’t even say a proper fair well and “I love you” to her... and while we were in Hawaii, my grandfather, who had been visiting the house/backyard where we left the dogs, had called to say she was missing. She was old, alone, and I don’t know if she was scared or what even happened to her... and to be honest I’m so scared she was eaten by a coyote... but leaving her out there and leaving without saying “I love you” is one of my biggest regrets in life. She was always so sweet and patient to me as a kid and didn’t deserve to be alone and deserved nothing but love so I just wish I could’ve done better. Now my family never leaves our dogs alone outside and I never part ways from someone I love without saying “I love you”.

    Well, you've successfully made another grown man cry. In my junior year of high school, my mom moved us out of the house I spent 12 years of my life growing in. I met friends, My girlfriend, and even some really great neighbors living there. Between elementary, middle and high school, they were all within walking distance of the house I had lived the better part of my life in. We moved to the area of the city my mom grew up in, which wasn't far, but leaving your friends who lived so close is never easy. Especially going to a new school where you'd be forced to make new ones. Things got hard and time went on, but my mom took in one of her friends dogs, who was a beautiful 4 year old pug named Emily. She did this to take our minds away from being moved away from our friends and our childhood home. I loved this dog with all of my heart, and never having a dog before made that even more substantial, she saw all of the love I could have for a pet that had been pent up for 17 years of my life. And again, time went on, I moved into my girlfriends apartment, gotten a good job and really didn't get to see her too often. When I finally got a car I made sure to change that.
    Time goes on, and I'm visiting less and less to make up rest after work as I've gotten an even better job doing what I love, working on cars. Emily's love for me never changed because she'd be so excited to see me because she knew when I'd pull in the driveway. Well, her health grew weary with her age, and I have since forgotten what exactly happened to her, but when covid came around, working at a dealership made it tougher to see my mom, sister and dog because my mom and sister were at high risk due to having Lyme disease. Emily's deteriorating health became more apparent as normal things became chores for her. Well, one day, I got a phone call from mom. Emily was visibly in alot of pain just breathing and knowing her condition, there was nothing much we could have done for her. She called me to tell me that tomorrow they would be putting her down, to ease her pain.
    She called me already in tears, as she knew that just being around them could be dangerous meant that I wouldn't be able to say goodbye to her. I hadn't seen them or my dog in over 3 months, and I had no idea that all of the wasted opportunities would come back to crush me as I would struggle to remember what it was like to pet her and hold her. I have a small pug figure with her ashes sealed inside of it, and everytime I see I wish I could turn back time.
    I really admire you putting this out here and showing your vulnerability. People who have never had this won't understand but it's really hard letting a pet like Mini and Emily go. My heart will forever be broken, and I will miss her everyday I'm alive, because I too, never got to say goodbye.

    Its never easy losing a pet. I'm in my early 70s and I STILL REMEMBER the day my father brought my childhood dog to the vet to be euthanized. She developed cancer and was in pain. This was well before your time but back in the late 50s there was a TV show about a collie named Lassie that I loved and watched all the time. I was around 10. My parents bought a collie that looked a lot like Lassie and named her Lady. She was very smart and an amazing dog. I wish I had videos of her but the only things I have left now are a couple of black and white pictures of her and me and her and my mom. To this day I still cry and wish I could have just one more day with her just to hug her and tell her I love her. Thanks so much for sharing Minnie's story and a part of your life to all of us! Just like my Lady she looked like an amazing and loving, loyal pet! They share just a small part of our lives and yet they have a big long lasting effect on us!

When we left she was desperately looking at us through the glass. Then we got the phone call that she had passed. I wish we could have peacefully put her down in our arms, it would have given me a lot of closure knowing that I was there to the end. Truly cherish the time with your dog, it's too short.

    A year ago my dog got out my house through a crack, and was barking at the front door to let him in. I remember waking up and being so tired that i made my myself believe he would get in through the way he got out. I remember going to school and when i came home, my mom told me the news that he was lost. That was the last time i saw him. The animal shelter found him dead weeks later. And then a week later my older dog died of heart attack. I regret my decision so much, i should of let him in, i should of played with him more, i should of done everything i could of. my dogs never got to say goodbye to eachother. The worst part is that the dog that got lost, died of either the cold or hunger while being alone(this happened over a rainy, cold winter). So even 1 year later, when i get hungry or cold i cant help but cry and think of what my dog went through. I admit im not super religious but i hope my dogs are truly up there and just having all the peperoni slices heaven can offer.
