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.

It hurts, it just takes time. I had to put my buddy of 17 years down at the beginning of last year. He was so gravely ill, that made it a little easier but it still hurt. For months I randomly would break out in tears sometimes. It has gotten better, but it does help to have other pets to focus on.
@SlippingAway you’re right. I’m really sorry❤
