That video made me sad and happy both. Sad because unfortunately friends/hunting partners/family members (dogs) are taken from us way to soon. Happy because the guy, and the dog, both knew that they had a special love/bond for each other. Only a true dog lover knows what I am talking about. I know what the guy went through , as I had to make that decision with my first dog I had, and he was only 6 years old. Gunnar turns 9 next month, and we have the same thing going for us, as the ones in the video. I to hope that when that time comes he just falls asleep and goes peacefully to the afterlife. One thing I do know if he is suffering I will not hesitate to make that decision as he deserves better than that.
