Went to visit my friend's dying dog yesterday

[Destroyer]

Shit is brutal.
She's almost 17 years old, and is very weak, can barely stand, has lost a lot of her muscle mass, isn't really eating, etc...
But my friend is sitting there telling me how he has a plan to put her on a high protein diet to help rebuild muscle and all this, and its breaking my heart to hear him talk about it because this dog doesnt have a chance, she's just old and on her way out.
but sometimes, it gets me, how humans are utterly helpless to delay the inevitable, but still always feel the need to try

RIP Lucy
(i just received word that she's being put down today)
