The owner has three dogs: a Labrador and two Pomeranians. The first dog the owner had was the Labrador named "Meimei," who has been with the owner for 19 years.
Nineteen years ago, a colleague of the pet owner's had a dog that gave birth to 12 puppies, so the owner gave her a puppy and named it "Meimei" (meaning "little sister").
Over the past 20 years, my sister has accompanied this family through all sorts of big and small events, and has long become an indispensable member of this family.
As the younger sister grew older, the owner's anxiety increased day by day, and she became more and more concerned about the dog's health. Even though the owner took great care of the younger sister, tragedy still struck.
Two years ago, this elderly dog suddenly began to behave abnormally. Its reactions became slower and slower each day, and it would hesitate for a long time before doing anything. It also frequently experienced incontinence.
The vet explained that this was a sign that the old dog was about to lose its mind, and that there was no way to treat it with medication.
After that, the younger sister's condition continued to deteriorate rapidly until she completely lost her mind. Her life became upside down, she was neurotic every day, and she would often let out inexplicable howls.
Since the dog fell ill, the owner's life has become a mess. In addition to taking care of her family, she also has to take care of the dog who is unable to take care of himself, which has left her feeling exhausted.
Even so, the owner did not give up on the dog, after all, this dog had been a family member who had been with him for more than ten years.
My sister loves the beach, so to cheer her up, her owner takes her for a walk there every few days! This mentally challenged dog only becomes calm and happy like a child when she's at the beach.
The past two years have been challenging, but the owner has been incredibly happy taking care of the dog. Even though the dog is now mentally unstable, she is content as long as it remains by her side.
Sadly, age-related illnesses did not spare this elderly dog; her bodily functions began to decline at a visible rate. Now 19 years old, she has completely lost her ability to move and is bedridden.
Furthermore, the dog's mental state has become extremely depressed; it seems to be enduring immense pain, whimpering and howling every day. Seeing the dog's current condition, the owner is constantly in tears and feels completely lost.
To end her dog's suffering, the owner, after consulting with the veterinarian, decided to euthanize it. This was an outcome the owner didn't want to face, but she couldn't bear to watch her dog struggle painfully on the verge of death any longer.
Before this 19-year-old Labrador was to be euthanized, Mom took the dog to see the sea one last time, reliving touching memories from the past...
