In the Courier of May 19, 2017, was a letter thanking the SPCA from a couple who had to have their dear little dog called Benji euthanised.
I just felt it was such a sad coincidence. On May 5, I took my darling little Benjy to our vet to have him euthanised. I sat with him and loved him. He had been my loving and loyal companion for 17 years, he turned 17 in March.
I completely understand how you feel. I miss Benjy dreadfully and always will. My grateful thanks to Dr Hugh Rivett’Carnac and his staff, to Leonor who walked Benjy on the beach which he enjoyed to the last, and especially to my wonderful family who has been so understanding and compassionate, they also loved my Benjy and spoilt him just as much as I did.
Thank you so much.
