GRAND RAPIDS — Scott Seymour's decision not to euthanize his cancer-filled dog loomed large Saturday when the 9-year-old American bulldog awakened him to escape his burning house.
"Brittney might whine a little when she has to go out, but she never, ever barks when I'm sleeping," said Seymour, 39, who has had the dog since she was 6 weeks old. "She was demanding that I get up.
Great story - wonderful dog. I certainly hope he does euth her though if the pain becomes more than the meds can handle. I lost my last rottie from bone cancer. We opted - because of his age and other medical problems - to not go the surgery and chemo route, much to the appreciation of our vet who thought it would have been selfish on our part. But even with major doses of pain medication it became obvious when the end was near that the only humane and fair thing to him was to put him down. Cancer is not a fun death. And to allow them to die slowly and agonizingly for days - sometimes weeks on end - is just sick and cruel.
