  • In this episode of Rescue Vet, Dr Scott Miller meets up with friend Chris Lewis, an ex-paratrooper who walked the entire British coastline, a total of 19,000 miles, over 6 years, meeting along the way his rescue dog Jet. Jet's health has been declining rapidly over the last year, and Chris has made the most heartbreaking but brave decision, that it is Jet's time. Chris has asked Scott to help him say goodbye.
    Chris & Jet were raising money on their walk for SSAFA, which provides support to the Armed Forces community - if you would like, you can support their cause by donating on their fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraisin...

      Honestly I agree with you but understand that if it is a parent or a child it is so much harder to make that decision. I have had to make the decision for my mother last year to let no further medical intervention on my mom's behalf except to make her comfortable. She passed peacefully the day before Christmas Eve but it was incredibly hard to make that decision. It wasn't like I outright went to kill her. I said keep her comfortable, keep her from suffering as much as possible. The only issue I have with the idea of dying with dignity is that it is only a step or two away from the dystopian society from The Giver. I don't think it is right to give someone else the ability to "help" someone like that and hear them say they "enjoy" the job. It takes a true psychopath to enjoy a job like that. Watching someone die should NEVER be a good thing, knowing you are giving them a medication that will stop their heart or stop their breathing should never be a job they enjoy. Dr Scott has outright said that this part of his job is one no Vet enjoys but understands the necessity of doing it for the animal's benefit. But human beings aren't animals and as much as we like our animals they are not part of our families and you can grieve an animals passing without acting like it was a human baby. I have lost a baby, 32 weeks pregnant but still a baby, and I have lost pets before. They aren't the same, I cried over my pets for a day or two but I sobbed for 2 months at just the thought of my son and actually got quite severally depressed after the loss. Sorry but I can say the dying with dignity that places like Norway are dancing a very fine line that we executed Nazis for after the end of WW2, it is a truly dangerous line. The same line allowed that nurse a while back kill babies who were simply ill.

    I think the hardest part about having a dog (pet in general) is making the decision to break our own hearts by doing what is best for them- but that pain and heartbreak is the price we pay in return for the unconditional love and support they give us. My heart and empathy are with Chris and his family. Rest well sweet baby girl - run free and leave the pain behind knowing you were so very loved.

      I lost my 19 year old cat last week. One minute he was sitting on my son's lap purring, jumped down and keeled over. He had a massive stroke. He was PTS by our kind vet. Although he was aware of us, his motor function was completely gone. We stayed with him as he crossed to Rainbow Bridge, telling him how much we loved him and thanking him for 19 wonderful years. We lost his brother Harley last October. He hadn't been well earlier that year but was successfully treated. He had his dinner, curled up, went to sleep and never woke up. They were half-Bengals. Now together again and reunited with their lifelong friend, Chico who passed away just shy of his 22nd birthday. Benji was a talkative cat (as was his brother). We haven't got used to not hearing his cat-chat yet. We got his ashes home yesterday so he's back home where he belongs, with us.

      @@carolcox302 We still have 8 cats, all rescues. The two half-Bengals were the only cats who were not rescues. They were given to me by a work colleague. The story behind them is quite amusing. My work colleague's wife bred Bengals. That year we had a hot summer. At about 2am my colleague and his wife were awoken by a lot of howling and banging around. Thinking they were being burgled, Alan crept downstairs to find the local Tom having his wicked way with their Bengal queen. Alan had left a small window open and the local Tom saw his chance and took it. Non-pedigree kittens were the result so they chose people they knew loved cats and would look after them. Our oldest cat lived to 23. She was also a rescue. I was asked to foster her for one night only. We had her for 15 years. She was 8 years old when we got her. Our cats ages range from 12 years old to 4 years old.

    Cried so much because I know the part of losing the love of a close companion and part of the family. He thought of her and that is love letting go 😢

    They are NOT just a dog! They are a very special part of our heart and family who is there for us through thick and thin and whose love never lessons! I went through this with my Baby and when I "lost" him, I was absolutely broken too! My dog was my everything!! May GOD heal you all up. Remember love NEVER dies and your Baby is watching over you from Heaven with that UNCONDITIONAL love and pride that you know he has for you!!

    Remembering each of my kitties who walked with me through 18 yrs and then another 18 and now, I have become the Cat Mom rescuing every sick, hungry, cold furry feline that finds its way to us. As with Jet, these kitties have filled the voids in life and given such wonderful love and companionship. I don't believe we will ever get over the loss. I still love them as much as if they were still here. With loving prayers for the family 🙏❤️

    I have been through this so very many times over the years as I have rescued many as they have rescued me. Euthanasia is the greatest gift we can give them for being the best part of our lives. My heart goes out to the family❤during this journey. Vets are so special for all they do... In the beginning.... And in the end.

    Thank you Chris and Kate for sharing this very personal decision and moment with us. I am sitting here bawling my eyes out for what you are going through during this, but also remembering the times when I have had to make the same decision. It's so hard, but it is also the final act of love that we can give them. Rest well Jet, and know that you will never be forgotten.

    This is how every fur baby should go, loved, peaceful and having lived a full life. As soon as my dogs felt my sorrow over this 1 they came running in to help me through the pain of watching the video. Their cuddles and kisses help remind me of just how much they understand and care. Rest easy Jet and never forget you are and always will be loved.

    This is one of the most heartbreaking things to have to do… but it also one of the most brave and selfless things a human will ever do for their Furkid… NEVER miss the opportunity to be there to help them cross the rainbow bridge…. NEVER let a Vet take them to another room… NEVER leave ur animal alone without u being by their side… NEVER.

    Oh that hurt and I felt so for both Chris and his little family and for Scott. The last words my late father said to me as he was dying was, "You never let any of our dogs suffer beyond endurance, why do I have to?" I couldn't tell him "because our laws say so!" so I just squeezed his hand and wet it with tears. He was right! And, I never let any of our many dogs and cats go without hearing my voice and feeling my touch on them until their hearts stopped beating. I dearly loved every one of them and they are all woven into the tapestry of my life, bringing it meaning and colour beyond description. Thank you for sharing your story with us all Chris.....In time Jet will send you another one of her kind who will need your love, and who will have much love to give you all as a family.

Geez this was so emotional to watch, but gee Chris gave Jet the best life. What a privilege to see just a snippet of their life. Dogs really are Family. I hope Chris & family are doing ok since this was filmed.
    Rest easy Jet. Fly high 🌈🌈 baby girl, no more pain, cross that bridge running free. I'm sure you'll be watching over Chris always. So So brave Chris x Thank you for sharing Dr Scott 🙏🇦🇺🦘. I'm still crying xx❤️❤️
