Nah, he was smart. Wouldn't want a manager to see someone actually being "human". He'd be fired on the spot! Faulty drone!

The world would be a much more pleasant place to live in if there were more people like this gentle soul walking on it!

i say we put the guy down, leave the dog and go for a pint, who's in?

That dog has had a good life to live that long. Well done that man.

Lovely to see that guy putting the effort in to help, and that photo is phenomenal. The peace on the dog's face, knowing the background, is heart-wrenching.

Absolutely - I hated dogs as a kid, but now I have three of my own and I fully understand what special animals they are. A beautiful story that's got me sat here blinking back tears.

I love both cats and dogs lol, grown up with both.

Yes, a great story but won't he wake again when he takes him out?

First read of the title, I thought he was drowning the dog to put him out of his misery.

All the same a heart moving story, I bet he gets a date now

If the dog is in that much pain and riddled with arthritis, surely the kind thing to do would be to put him down.

Is this story for real?

If it is..and that pooch is suffering then I also agree that lethal injection needs to be given

Read the twincities article, such a touching story, makes me miss my wee dog

Why can't more people be more humane like Unger, instead of inhumane like so many other's in the world.

SilverTongue · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:36

Just WOW, sat here struggling to type this with blurry vision. Truly amazing story

MadMossy · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:37

Amazing story

Greebo · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:40

The way I see it, already, if you read the 2nd link, somebody has donated enough money for all the painkilling meds the dog needs and any vet bills plus the photographer is giving him half the money form selling the photos.

Spenty · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:42

Apparently the man has went hungry a few times and spent his money feeding the dog instead. Great story and nice to see that true humanity is still around.

Marmot · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:48

Why is everyone crying recently?

It's a pleasant story with a very caring dog owner, but, tears?! Ever since Murray's Wimbledon defeat a few weeks ago, everyone seems to be blubbering like babies.

Overslop · 10 Aug 2012 at 22:51

I'm also crying but that's because I masturbated so vigorously that I tore off my foreskin.
