The Death of Your Dog Looks Like This

Slowly, I began to notice something unusual about Noble. He didn't have the same bounce to his step that he was famous for. At times he even seemed reluctant to go for our regular exercise, which was always the highlight of his day.
I dismissed it as him feeling a bit off or maybe a touch of laziness... but it didn't pass, in fact it got worse and then worse still.
I eventually took him to the local vet and was told his kidneys were failing and soon, he would be dead.
DEAD!
As in gone..... forever!.
"But, but... he's so young, so strong, so happy... I don't understand, how could this be?"
Devastated, with tears welled in my eyes, I chocked back the urge to sob and listened for my vet's reply...
