From stray to soulmate: Man writes heartfelt goodbye to his 16-year-old senior pup in her final chapter of life, showing us the true power of the bond between doggo and pawrent

It's not often we find a post that is emotional enough to make us cry, but this one hit us straight in the heart. There are times when we are so overcome with love for our doggo that we can't believe that it's pawssible to love someone so much. When she wakes us up with her cold nose in the morning, when she lies down in the middle of the street asking for belly rubs, or when she puts her ears back and her face lights up, full of smiles, when we come home after a day at work. She's currently 2 years old, and we can't imagine our lives without her.

The man in this post isn't just thinking about it - he's there. His senior doggo, who he adopted 16 years ago, is in her final stage of life. He writes her a heartfelt goodbye that we, as dog owners, can't help but tear up at. We felt every joy, every heartbreak, and could truly feel the depth of his connection to Daisy. This post is not for the faint of heart. Get your tissues ready because whether you're a pawrent to a puppy or your dog is creeping up on old age, you will feel this goodbye deep down in your soul.

We know that a time will come when our pup doesn't have the energy to play anymore, when she won't be able to walk with us to the beach, when we will need to carry her to use the bathroom because of her old age. Those days may be far away, but when you know that something will eventually come to an end, you can never truly put it out of your mind.

Oh, dear. Here comes the waterworks. Just thinking about our doggo getting to this stage makes us tear up. If we're lucky, we won't have to deal with this for another 15 years. But even then, 15 years will still be far too soon for us to even be close to ready to say goodbye.
