Pasé por eso con mi cachorra estrella de 16 años, es duro y difícil tomar esa desicion. 💔
Mi estrella convulsionaba, perdía el conocimiento, ya no podía más. 😏🙈
This was filmed last Wednesday afternoon at Veterinary Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The officer is Sergeant Paul Greer.
He is 41 years old.
A fourteen-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
The dog is Bruno.
A ten-year-old German Shepherd who worked for eight years as Paul's K9 partner before a joint disease ended his career two years ago.
When Bruno retired from active duty, Paul adopted him immediately.
Brought him home.
Bruno spent his retirement on Paul's couch, on Paul's bed, and in the passenger seat of Paul's personal truck.
The change from working partner to family companion was smooth and easy.
Bruno had always been Paul's dog.
The badge and the vest were simply part of the job.
Over the past several months, Bruno's condition had been getting worse.
The joint disease spread.
He had trouble standing up.
Stopped eating regularly.
Paul had been working with Dr. Angela Reese at Riverside for months to keep Bruno as comfortable as possible.
Last Tuesday evening, Bruno stopped getting up completely.
Paul called Dr. Reese that night.
Wednesday afternoon, Paul drove Bruno to Riverside.
He carried Bruno in from the truck himself.
Wouldn't let the staff carry him.
Paul's partner, Officer Dana Choi, came with him.
She quietly recorded on her phone from the corner of the room.
She later told us she asked Paul's permission before she started recording.
He nodded.
Paul sat on the exam table with Bruno resting across his lap and chest.
Bruno's head rested on Paul's shoulder.
His eyes were half open.
His breathing was slow and calm.
Paul lowered his head and pressed his face into Bruno's fur.
Bruno stayed still for a long moment.
Then slowly — carefully — he lifted both front paws.
One at a time.
And wrapped them around Paul's shoulders.
And held on.
Paul made a sound that Dana said she will never forget.
Dr. Reese, who was standing nearby getting ready, became completely still.
Her assistant stepped back.
Nobody moved.
Dana told us:
“Bruno could barely lift his head that morning.
But he lifted his paws and held Paul.
In that moment, with everything he had left, he held him.
I think he was saying thank you.
I think he was saying goodbye in his own way.”
Paul stayed in that position for a long time.
The room stayed quiet.
Bruno passed away peacefully a short time later while being held in Paul's arms.
Paul sent a message to his precinct group chat that evening.
It said:
“Bruno is at peace.
He was the best partner I ever had.
Eight years on the force and two years at home.
He worked hard, loved hard, and left this world the same way.
Holding on.”
The precinct held a small informal memorial the next morning.
Bruno's vest and badge number were framed and placed in the K9 unit hallway.
Some partners help carry you through the hardest years of your life.
And in the end, if you are very lucky, they find just enough strength to hold you one last time.
@CommanderRomero Por qué tener que atacar a kilómetro? A quien no le guste lo que postea, sencillamente no lo sigan.
!Ay Dios mío santo, si no destruyen a X persona no son felices! 😏
Caramba Comandante y pensar que lo escucho siempre por YouTube.
Una joven venezolana desató debate en redes al pedir que se dirijan a ella como “doctora” y no como “chica”, “niña” o “mi amor”.
Su postura generó opiniones divididas: algunos consideran válido exigir un trato acorde con su formación, mientras otros creen que la reacción fue exagerada, especialmente porque esas expresiones son habituales en Venezuela.
En su perfil aparece como estudiante de Medicina, por lo que no se ha confirmado que ya sea médica titulada.
La poleo es el cerebro en todo el odio y ataques desmedidos a kilómetro, ella en infinidades de veces ha dicho: Yo le dejo el odio a Daniel, pues con ese mismo odio trato a un muchacho 20 años menos que él. Lara Farías se hace llamar comunicador, lo que no...
Tenemos criterio para saber a quién debemos escuchar, hemos sido engañados muchas veces y eso, eso es etapa pasada, sabemos a quién apoyar y a quien no. No necesitamos maestra de escuela que nos digan lo malo y lo bueno, eso que vaya para la poleo, ya se lo..
Las imágenes que llegan de Venezuela son devastadoras. Los terremotos han dejado muertos, heridos y familias que lo han perdido todo.
Hoy, más que nunca, Venezuela necesita ayuda humanitaria urgente. El mundo debe responder con rapidez para salvar vidas y aliviar el sufrimiento de un pueblo que enfrenta una tragedia inmensa.
Si tienes celular con sistema operativo Android, debes ir a ajustes o configuración, bajar hasta la campanita de seguridad y emergencia, luego activar la opción de alerta de sismo. Puede salvar tu vida, a mí me avisó unos segundos antes mediante una alarma. 👇
Nuestro corazón está con el pueblo de Venezuela en estos momentos difíciles. Les enviamos toda nuestra solidaridad y nuestras oraciones.
Fuerza Venezuela 🇻🇪
