After four days on life support, fighting with all his might, I had to make the hardest decision of my life and say goodbye to Roscoe. He never stopped fighting until the very end. I feel so grateful and honored to have shared my life with such a beautiful soul, an angel, and a true friend.
Hamilton added that he had never had to put a dog to sleep before, and it was one of the most painful experiences for him.
I feel a deep connection with everyone who has experienced the loss of a beloved pet. Although it was so difficult, his presence was one of the most beautiful parts of life.
