Spending just one day with a dog can easily make you fall in love with him. Now, you can only imagine what happens after 15 years of life with the furry companion. The bond becomes so strong that it is hardly breakable.
Sadly, just like is the case with every being, with the years comes the deterioration in health and your pet is suddenly not what it used to be. For the owner who truly loves his canine, this is one of the most devastating moments.
That’s exactly how Dennis Gerard, a dog owner living in Jacksonville, Florida, felt one day after he got home from work. The strange behavior of his beloved senior dog truly broke his heart.
Heartbreaking But Sweet Moment
Dennis and his beloved senior dog, Piper, met 15 years ago when Piper was just two years old. They have spent so many happy moments together that it’s hard to count them all.
However, after Piper recently celebrated his 17th birthday, things suddenly began to change. Piper was no longer the same dog, and the main cause of this was his old age, which made him deaf and blind, and brought him dementia as well.
Although this is nothing unusual for a dog of his age, it was still difficult for Dennis to come to terms with the fact that his furry companion would never be the same again. Yet, this man was most devastated one day when he got home from work and saw Piper doing something strange.
When he first entered his house in Jacksonville, Florida, nothing unusual happened, as Piper was waiting in the foyer by the back door and then performed his usual ritual of kissing, dancing, and welcoming daddy home.
However, what followed half an hour later was truly heartbreaking for Dennis.
