Dog owner captures last moments with her dying baby. These 10 pictures show what love really is.

For eleven-year-old Hannah, a pit bull terrier-Labrador mix, life was getting harder to live. Suffering from seizures and riddled with arthritis in her hips, loyal, loving Hannah was also enduring side-effects from the medications she was on to control her seizures. While watching Hannah struggle to walk and climb stairs, owner Kyle Amick knew a difficult decision was on the horizon.

“I finally decided that keeping her on the meds was selfish, but keeping her off of them was just as cruel,” Amick stated.

Devastated to see her best friend living in pain, stricken by seizures, with medication that no longer worked, Amick decided to give Hannah one last day of love and pampering. She photographed each step of this beautiful yet heartbreaking final day with Hannah.

The day began with a car ride where Amick wondered if Hannah could sense the sadness in the air. She noted how difficult even the smallest steps were for Hannah.

  1. Please, stop posting this! I have lost several animals that I have dearly loved in my life. This should be a private matter! How depressing do you need to be here? Everyone already knows how hard it is to lose your baby. This dog owner needs some attention for himself!

  2. Jim Testa My daughter is with us ..with her dog ,that helps ,but not the same. It was just like tearing a huge piece of our hearts out , when we put Snickers down .We stayed with him till his very last breathe .I suppose i am just too emotional in my old age We know how you feel Jim Testa

  3. My Tyrra J and the Banshee Kai were my best girls. Now I have an Athena Noelle and I can’t even think about how our parting will go.

    They are only in our world for a short time and in that short time we are their whole world.

  4. I’ve been there. It hurts the heart so much. It feels like a part of the soul is separating and you can’t explain it to someone who has never been there. I feel for you. Take your time in your recovery. Your furbaby was an important part of your life and those feelings are real! Bless you.

  5. Deepest sympathies. My first boy Woofer, a rottie that I had from 4 weeks old, and my 2nd boy Barker, a 3 year old lab who succombed to cancer, both passed in my arms. Two of the 3 hardest things I ever had to do.

  6. GRIEVE – then adopt another homeless little soul who will enrich your life for another 10 or 12 years. And bless you for giving her a great life and then letting her go when it was no longer great.
