Shadow, my 8-year-old German Shepherd, left us on June 8, 2024. He repeatedly asked for help, and we just couldn't do anything for him. I've never felt so helpless in my life. Being at the mercy of vets who mostly seemed to be just guessing was incredibly frustrating. It's heartbreaking to see a loved one in need and not be able to help them. I've never experienced the purity of love and passion that he embodied. He'll always be with us!
