We've come across an amazing and touching documentary between a woman, Doreen Devore, and her beloved pug, Spanky.
“Considering how much joy our pets can bring us, is love between a pet and an owner any less significant than love between two people?”
That's the question that Doreen raised and this beautiful documentary attempts to (and most successfully does in our opinion) shed some light on that question through the story of the devoted Doreen and her precious pug Spanky.
Spanky has been with Doreen for 16 long years! They are best of friends and love each other very much (which is so apparent from the film). However, Spanky requires a little extra love and attention because of his old age and health problems.
Watch and learn all the ways Doreen keeps Spanky taken care of so that he can stay as healthy as possible. It’s amazing how much devotion can go to a helpless doggy.
Watch this touching story between Doreen and her pug, Spanky on the next page. Grab some tissues!

“No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish – consciously or unconsciously – that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.”
― Dean Koontz, A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog
This was such a beautiful documentary and tribute to Spanky and Doreen. Dogs give us so much more than they can ever know. That’s why we love them so much; they ask for nothing. They teach us how to be the best we can. I can be having the worst day, emotionally or physically, and he knows that and he won’t leave my side. He’s my medicine and my pick me up. I love him unconditionally as he does me. I smile just looking at him or thinking of him if we are apart. He’s a senior who has health issues and I am his nurse and chef as he has special dietary needs. I have no regrets; he’s my special love and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This is my boy, Jake

What an amazing story of two beautiful souls. Cried like a baby. I too would rather be at home with my babies than anywhere else. I truly don’t know how I will ever get to that point when they are that old. Right now we are at 12 and 9.

These stories give me hope. My black pug Smudge will be 13 in July. I want him to get to 18, but I will weigh quality of life versus quantity. He is deaf and incontinent now but otherwise still a player. I steel myself for the day when I have to make that decision, and give Doreen much credit and respect for knowing when it was time. Hers is a good soul.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope, in time, you can find comfort in memories of her.

I annoyingly woke up my Smudge to do the same. He’s back to snoring now.

Very beautiful. I am babysitting my 15 year old pug. He is deaf and cansee a little. He still walks but is not as strong going up and down stairs anymore. He is a sweetheart and we all love him a lot. I think I need a stroller so he can go for walks. very good idea’
