I was stunned when they said he died. It was obvious that he gained weight, and he looked so healthy and energetic. It goes to show that abuse runs very deep in a body, and his organs were probably damaged. I'm so grateful he knew only love at the end.

[@CarpeDiem-ww2fk]

:((

[@stefany2024]

Maybe he had some sort of internal trauma, or got some kind of sickness that made him pass away, sometimes you think it's okay, but life surprises you, not in a good way... I rather to think he got to his family to teach them something precipis, and he accomplished that. His mission was done and he finally could have the rest he deserved. It's sad saying these words, but I've learned that every single thing, even the worst one, is there for a reason, to teach you something.

[@devinpatterson2185]

He probably ate something he shouldn't have.

Right now I'm sitting here crying cuz I had to put my dog down he was 15 and that gave him a good life but this poor dog did not have much of a good life made those people rotten hell someday that did that to him

[@linda6987]

Not my story : “Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.” As they made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told the vet that they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, the vet felt the familiar catch in his throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that the vet wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or confusion. They all sat together for a while after Belker’s Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that dogs’ lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, “I know why.” Startled, they all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned the vet. He had never heard a more comforting explanation. He says that it changed the way he will try and live. “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life - like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.” 🐾♥️🐾

[@charlesharper7292]

The kid gets it. We think dogs are our "pets". They are our companions and our teachers.

[@lindafilipi8611]

Oh I cried like a baby when this story took a turn. I wasn’t expecting for Tad not to make it. On the positive side he knew total love before he passed. There is nothing more that any of us want and need. Bless you Tad. ❤️

[@jacksamunster4407]

Seventeen years ago, I rescued my dog from the most unimaginable cruelly. The previous owners had used him as an ashtray, broke his back legs and was enjoying starving him to death. My little dog was my whole life, and aged 18, I lost him on 6th December 2017. It's six months ago, and I'm just coming to terms with the loss, but eventually I will adopt a rescue again.

[@maryamabdulla7452]

Paige Leigh That's so sad but my sister was born December6 2017 also I hope you will adopt a rescue thnx for making ing an other dog happy🐕😀

[@SoulDevoured]

Sorry for your loss. You'll know when it's time to give another dog a second chance. They tend to come in and adopt us as much as we adopt them.

[@paigeleigh2554]

@@SoulDevoured , it's nine month's now, but I still couldn't bring myself to adopt another dog. The loss affected me so badly and I just couldn't go through that again. As you said, another dog could just come along and that's exactly what happened when I rescued last time. Thank you so much! X

[@aliciadunmeyer2221]

Paige, Sorry for your lost, I know how that feels 😔. We lost our 3 dogs in one summer, was so hard to adopt after, but time helps and our 2 new rescuers take our sadness away, and make us think about the happy moments we had with my others. When you're ready, I wish you find another good dog 😊

I was at first so angry for Tad's initial condition, and his backstory. Then I was so sad again at the end, at this passing. But you gave him untold amounts of joy and fun for his time with you, and gave him back his soul. Your other dog family members showed their love with their grief but even more, Tad sent them more love and joy with Minnow. I believe that when animal souls pass, they will stay with us, and sometimes send us another soul (and watch over us) (happened to me with my kittie). So I believe that Tad's soul is jumping, running, communicating, playing with the pack even now. Your time with Tad and all your pitties was meant to be. Bless you in all you do. There are smiles all around looking down on you.

[@DoorTrash]

Thanks for another great video, the dodo. So sad that tad passed away 😢

[@ashleylynn2701]

Just kills my heart that he passed away he was so happy in his new home at least he died with people and animals that loved him. And how it inspired her to get a puppy I think everyone can learn something from this story

[@Warden5490]

[@sugarbouche]

Koolan. Do you ever ask yourself or do you know why those dogs killed? Maybe they are just protecting themselves from more abuse, pain and torture. You are very quick with the 60%. Do you know how many dogs people kill each day,? It's in their nature.

To Jolene and her wonderful pack... If only everyone in the world was like you - compassionate with a huge loving heart. So glad to see you made room for more. Most people are so busy mourning and too selfish. They dwell on their own grief n hesitate to take another dog. The best way to honour yr departed dog is to take in another. Thank you for all your intense love and care for these precious dogs.🌿🌹

I recently adopted a brother of hers as he was not able to be in the household he was in. Hes under weight and had a torn ligament in his back leg . He has gained over five pounds and puts weight on his hurt leg better each day ❤ meds are helping and hes apart of my family. My rescue mutt included there a trio. Have a heart be kind to the ones who can't speak. ♥Pityy love!

[@elmersglueio4979]

Tad is an amazing dog and this woman is a gift. Who the hell in their right mind takes a dog out of a shelter the makes their life a living hell. can you imagine? Tad, a loving and sweet dog wishing for a forever family to call his own waiting in a shelter. Weeks past and finally someone comes in and adopts him. Tad is so excited to have a home and a family to love him! He gets home only to find that this isn't what he expected. Those types of people (I'm not going to say 'Deserve hell' because no one truly deserves hell), I hope these types of people learn how to truly love something as special as a dog. God bless their souls.

[@Aitomy]

My parents told me tonight that they wanted me to study outside, on the other corner of the country. They can afford it now and even told me to start looking for an apartment. At first I was happy to hear things were going better now but few hours later I reminded that if I move to study, I won't be with my dog on the meantime. I have been a whole day sad thinking about all this and I would always put my dog first. I can't simply be apart of him for 9 months, then meeting him again for a couple weeks and lose our life together. That was not the plan when I had him and I already had to go abroad for months and I can't forgive the time lost when he was younger. My dog needs me and this video has just reminded me so. Sadly, if I am outside studying all the day and on a shared apartment, I seriously doubt I can carry a large size dog with me nor pay him the attention he needs.

For the wonderful lady and her family, who took this poor sprite in when he needed hospice, I hope you know that you gave Tad a gift beyond price, you gave him love, and a home, and a family, and he lived in that warm, comforting glow for all of his days with you.
