How do you get past the guilt of putting your beloved dog down?

He wagged his tail as the vet was injecting him and I was holding him, singing and crying telling him he’s my good boy. I feel like a traitor and murderer.

You have done the most unselfish thing a pet owner is called up on to do for a beloved friend.

That is the true cost of owning a pet.

Selfish would be letting it suffer so you wouldn't have to do the hard thing.

I have felt the pain

And the guilt

I'm sorry
