Janine Guido had to deal with this issue when she met a dog named Watson. You see, she is the founder of Speranza Animal Rescue so she takes care of many animals.<\/p>\n<p>Watson was a homeless pit bull who was found in a park all alone in Philadelphia by a college student. After finding the dog, the student took him to an emergency vet because the pup had sores all over his body, a tumor on his back leg and he was starving. The vet informed the student that Watson was beyond hope. He had cancer that was spreading and his time was limited.<\/p>\n<p>Watson went from the veterinarian&#8217;s office to a shelter in the area. The staff at the shelter agreed that Watson could stay there to be as comfortable as he could.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a gut feeling that things weren\u2019t going to be good the next day,\u201d Guido told the Dodo. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to leave him alone. Not when he needed me the most.\u201d She did what she could to comfort him, gathering blankets and dog beds and keeping him close. She spent the night with Watson holding him as he slept.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe slept like a rock all night, cuddled up to me so tight,\u201d Guido said. \u201cI cried myself to sleep, and woke up in tears as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watson began pacing circles the following morning and he stopped eating and drinking. Guido knew that he was close to dying. She continued to support him in that difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>Before long, Watson passed away but he was loved, perhaps the first time in his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just so thankful I was able to hold him tight for his last night,\u201d Guido said. \u201cI was telling him how much he was loved \u2014 and that his life mattered. My heart is breaking, but I would not change a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<section>Timothy Roberts<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>I love to write and it keeps me busy. I&#8217;ve been working online, full time since 1999. When you can&#8217;t find me at the keyboard, you&#8217;ll find me getting as much as I can out of life.
