That and imagine how selfish it is for people to take their pets in to be put down, they're too afraid to be with the animal while it goes - so they take the poor scared/frightened animal in a separate room to be euthenized by masked/faceless strangers.
If it came down to being necessary to put down a pet of mine, certainly I would be with them to comfort them. It's truly sad that these precious loyal gifts get tossed out like garbage when their time comes. Sick!
My dad's old af dog took a sudden and sharp turn for the worse right before the pandemic. He had a vet come to the house and euthanize her while he was petting her as she was laying in her favorite spot looking out the window. Worth every penny.

I can't imagine how rough that was.
Yes, it is. It was difficult for us, but we loved him dearly and wanted to be with him. Worth the pain, he was such a good dog.
