Thats a shame, but you should be proud of yourself for doing something like that in the first place. It shows u care for it's life, even in it's last hours.

Probably small consolation, but the poor dog probably died very happy to think that he had found a new owner who loved him. Upsetting for you, but the best ending he could have wished for. When you are ready, have another go. Definitely not an FML. You should feel your life is blessed.

I'm sorry, but he died in a loving home instead of the shelter.

1. I'm so sorry for your loss. 2. Take comfort in the fact that at least you made that dog's last two hours on this earth happy ones. At least he got to die knowing that he was loved and in his forever home. Sadly, too many animals don't get that. 3. Did I mention that you're a really awesome person? I volunteer at an animal shelter and senior animals are kind of hard to get adopted. Everyone wants kittens and puppies.
