Did I do the right thing? By the way I live by the lake and did it outside so I don't believe anyone heard the shot.
Oh and pic kinda of related, its the same breed.
Why not have him put down at the vet? F**king rednecks...
i think you did the right thing, OP. better your hands than some stranger's. i would have done the same in your position.
...Uh. There are 500 times more humane ways to have done it than putting a bullet in his head.
This isn't the 1930s, you sick f**king farmboy.
yes you did op and i hope you make it through this without feeling too bad
You did the manly thing which, as always, was the right thing to do.
Props
It is probably more painful for ze dog than having a vet gas it but if I were your dog I would totally understand.
RIP dog ;_;
Agreed OP you did the right thing, Why pay money to have some stranger do it when you could. Now if you BLEW HIS HEAD OFF different story but if it was just a small hole no big deal
pic related, my dog (hes still alive)
>implying a bullet isnt as stressful to the dog then going to a strange place and getting a needle which the dog is allready familair with as 'pain'
Why not have him put down at the vet? F**king rednecks...
> Paying hundreds when a 15c bullet will do.
System shock + adrenaline does the same thing. You won't feel a thing. I've been seriously hurt before, the brain doesn't register the pain until system shock and adrenaline has worn.
should have went to the vet you inhumane bastard
...Uh. There are 500 times more humane ways to have done it than putting a bullet in his head.
This isn't the 1930s, you sick f**king farmboy.
Vets cost thousands of dollars, and my vet seems like the most inhumane oerson ever, I think all vets or most just want money.
Oh and I'm not a redneck but thank you for the thought.
Very brave, op. More painful for you than it was for him, I'm sure. Sorry about your pup :< Feel better, man.
OP, I'm sorry to hear that. Having to say goodbye to a friend is a very hard situation, and doing so by yourself only makes it harder.
But it's all for the best. You made the right decision, and the hardest one. You have my respect and I hope everything works well for you from now on.

I think you did the right thing, if the dog died immediately. I know it had to be hard :'(

Yes he died immediately. He lived a long and fun 11 years, I will miss him.
OP, I pat you on the back for the courage to put down your dog yourself.
Most libs are too pu**y to do it themselves.
BROTIP: Vets will put your sick dog down for free. They also use an injection, not gas.

I will admit, I teared up and turned my head then quickly pulled the trigger.

Where do you live that they do this? I had an instance with a cat with a severed limb bleeding out and beyond hope of saving, and was charged for it being jewed out of this world.
i think you did the right thing.... i think
Reminds me of Of Mice and Men...
Whether it was morally right or wrong is entirely subject to opinion. What matters is what you think and how you feel about it. There's no such thing as objective morals.
My dog is currently suffering from some disease the vets have yet to identify. She isn't eating much, breathes heavily all the time, rarely lifts her head up and won't wag her tail when I scratch her ears, and seldom walks because she has bad hips and lime disease. If she doesn't seem to progress any by next friday, I'm thinking I'll have her euthanized. Fortunately for me, I've been through this several times already (different diseases though) and have grown a bit calloused.
My dog had lung cancer. It was probably the best call. I would rather my dog die by my own hands at home than in the back room on a cold table and have to pay for it afterwards. Bad enough it has to be done in the first place, then BAM. OH BY THE WAY, PAY UP NI**ER.

I agree.
I was pretty shaky and very nervous after I pulled the trigger. My first thought was, "Did I kill him? Is it over?"

Indeed. I grew very attached him, almost like a brother.
It really is true what they say, dog is a mans best friend.
It's only humane if you spent time with it, and petted it, comforted it, and when it went to sleep THEN you put the bullet in its head.
If you killed it when it was still awake you're f**king sick dude.
BROTIP: Vets will put your sick dog down for free. They also use an injection, not gas.
I wish this were true across the board, but it's far from it.
Also, if you live in an area with farms, make some friends. From personal experience they are more than willing to help when something like this needs to be done and if they can't they usually know someone who can.
WHAT THE F**K.
No, that was not the right thing to do. What are you, a 1920's hick? This isn't Of Mice and Men, we put our dogs down humanely.

>Goodbye, we've had fun together. I'll miss you.
It was probably f**king
>Oo, where are we? What are we doing? Oh boy oh b-BANG
F**king hell, you take him to a vet so the vet can assess him and put him down painlessly and swiftly, so it's like falling asleep instead of suddenly getting axed by surprise.
Most will even do it for free if your dog really needs it, so you can look him in the eye, comfort him, pet him and say goodbye as he dies without any guilt.
Well done, you didn't deserve the poor bastard anyway.

Actually he was sleeping, he didn't know what hit him, it killed him instantly. There was no pain.

so? the dog died happy, what's wrong with that?
and vets are often to cheap to give the dogs painless injections, and often resort to using gas. this takes at least 20 minutes to kill the dog, and is slow, painful, and frightening.
OP probably did the right thing. sorry about your loss, duder
It's bad to have your dog die. It's worst when you have to do it.
Take care.
first time I went hunting I had hit a deer but we didn't leave our spot until about an hour later.
It was a doe and she was still twitching and sh*t. I had hit her windpipe. So trying to put the damn thing out of it's misery I shot it in the head. Blew an eye out, it was still alive. Got a little bit closer, blew it's jaw off.

That's sick, but I'm of the position if the sick animal/person doesn't want to die, its too soon.
So guys did you hear about that new cure for dog liver canc... oh.
Sorry to hear that OP. Hope you feel better soon.
Well if your actual sibling or family member developed terminal cancer would you put a bullet through their head or would you have someone else do it?
stupid question. A personal death is usually better.

When he wanted to get rid of a pet, he would etherize it, and vivisect it, killing it when he was done poking around if it survived the process.

Because a quick death in your sleep by a bullet is far worse than a slow death by gas while awake on a table being held down. Got it, bro.
inb4 "wut, dey use dem injections and sh*t"
Yes, because every vet is exactly the same.

You people need to care a LOT more for your dogs. They're your best friends.
I had an Akita called Elio who I adored, one day I found out that he had something wrong with his heart, and they couldn't do anything, and had to put him down. The vet near my house would only put him down by gas using a freaky mask. I asked if there was anything less painful and calmer, and they said no. It was also going to cost a motherlode.
Did I say "oh well" and ram my dog full of lead? No, I drove over 200 miles to the nearest vet I found that would put him down in the most humane way. He sat on the front seat next to me and I enjoyed the last few hours with him, reminiscing.
We got there, fed him a nice big meal, laid him down on a big comfy special bed and they gave him an injection. Before long he'd drifted off. I had to work extra shifts for a while just to pay that off, but I'm glad as hell I did or I'd be kicking myself.
You took the easy way out for you, not the best thing for your dog.

Hello. I shot my dog directly in the head about an hour ago, he was suffering from a sever case of liver cancer that was evidently very painful and would eventually end his life soon.
Did I do the right thing? By the way I live by the lake and did it outside so I don't believe anyone heard the shot.
I see nothing wrong about it.
Actually he was sleeping, he didn't know what hit him, it killed him instantly. There was no pain.

> he was sleeping, he didn't know what hit him, it killed him instantly
I'm OK with this.
If it were my dog I would have found a vet to do the injection, though. I'm sure some vets will do house calls for this sort of thing to minimize distress. There's never any guarantee of how many bullets it will take, and I wouldn't want to risk having to shoot my now fully lucid dog multiple times.

At least if conversation gets boring you can bring the old "I killed a dog" up.
Think of this objectively. Say you have a disease. Would you rather:
a) Have your mother shoot you in the night.
b) Die in a sleep-like way in the comfort of those you love.
I don't think I could have done the same thing in your place, OP.
That's not to say I don't think you did what was best for your fuzzy friend... I just don't think I could do it.
Time's coming though... my dog is old and arthritic, and I know she won't last forever. But I do my best to make sure I take adviceantage of every day that we have left together.
I want no regrets when the time comes... I hope you were in the same position.
Contrary to what treef** hippies will say, bullet in the head is a pretty good way to go. Sure as hell a lot better than letting the cancer take you slowly and painfully. Death by cancer is like death from a Mexican drug cartel where they slowly torture you and hack you into a hundred pieces for their own amusement.
If you ever find yourself having to put down an animal, the way you should do it is with a bullet to the part of the head where the brain meets the spine. Act like you're looking at an x-ray of the animal's bones, and aim for the very bottom corner of the skull where the backbone plugs into. In Japan they have this special technique of killing fish like that so they die in an instant and the meat stays its tastiest, the same instant kill can be applied to make sure a good dog doesn't have to suffer on its way out of its cancer or wounds.

If I had no adviceance knowledge of it, I'd "choose" (a). Better to just go in your sleep than to cope with the grief of those you love as you slowly fade into unconsciousness.
OP, I am depress. It can be Corgi dump tiem now, please?
Good dogs are like good soldiers.
They know when their time has come, and the only thing they want left in this world is to make sure that those behind don't have to worry or suffer. They're glad to see you in their last moments, and they appreciate you letting them go quickly with dignity instead of slowly with agony.
Manly tears.
Corgi.
posting happy Corgis in a sads thread
I had a pet that was dying painfully also OP.
I fed it a massive overdose of puppy-compatible drugs. He died without pain and most likely on the best trip of his life.
ITT: trolls trying to make OP feel bad for doing the right thing.
I'm with you OP. Your dog was comfortable with you and in your hands instead of in a scary vet's office.
Sorry for your loss, OP. A little over a year ago, my dog got put to sleep. It's tough. Make sure you think of the good times instead of the final moments.
Lobster Corgi has a smile.
honestly i don't see much of a difference between this and vet euthanasia. my only concern would be the risk of missing or only partially obliterating the brain, maybe with a weak round or a poor shot.. but who knows what drug euthanasia feels like to a dog? there are reports of convicts being conscious for minutes after a lethal injection.
The dog would rather die by a bullet from your hands than by drugs from the vet's hands. You are a friend, the vet is a stranger.
Let's say you go to war. You're going do die. What would you rather have; a quick death surrounded by your comrades or a slow death surrounded by people you don't know?

idk, when they put my dog down via injection, she instantly passed out and died. it was tough to watch, but other than the needle, there was no pain.

yeah but who knows what parts of the brain are still active? we barely know anything about the human brain as it is. just because the heart stops or something, doesn't mean the brain doesn't keep trucking for a while.

Euthanasia is fairly humane, but instant destruction of the brain stem is more humane. It is also more humane to let a dog spend its last moments among its family than imprisoned and given a murderer's punishment style of death. The veterinarians are courteous and professional, but the dog would still rather be around the people it knows.
All things aside, if you take a bullet to the brain stem then not a single thing in the living world will matter to you. Most humane death I can think of, especially when the deceased's last moments were spent in familiar comfort.
yeah but who knows what parts of the brain are still active? we barely know anything about the human brain as it is. just because the heart stops or something, doesn't mean the brain doesn't keep trucking for a while.
well of course the brain keeps ticking, but it's an OD of anesthesia. when it happens, you get completely knocked out, breathing stops, then the heart.
This Corgi has a sock. The anon is appeased

i guess that's true. just knock the f**ker way past unconscious and stop the heart.
still, it's hard to argue with the speed or efficiency of a shotgun.
ITT: trolls trying to make OP feel bad for doing the right thing.
I'm with you OP. Your dog was comfortable with you and in your hands instead of in a scary vet's office.
Sorry for your loss, OP. A little over a year ago, my dog got put to sleep. It's tough. Make sure you think of the good times instead of the final moments.
I'm not arguing against the gun. In fact, I'm this guy:

If you're a boy then a shotgun is alright, if you're a man then I'd ask you to work on your aim and do it with an rifle. If you use a shotgun then you're asking the deceased to suffer so you don't have to learn to aim.
Vets are expensive, and those of us who don't have easy access to vets have had to rely on putting dogs down by firearm. If a dog gets rabies then every moment it spends alive is cruel suffering that can spread wildly to others, a well-placed bullet can quickly put the dog out of its misery while preventing any suffering that would be caused to others if the disease had spread. Putting a dog down with a bullet was always difficult, but still far better than letting it live on in horrible suffering. If you are good with your aim, then the last thing the dog will see is you comforting it one last time.
PROTIP libf**s: death by injection is terrifying and painful, especially for an animal. A bullet to the back of the head is instant, painless, and the subject never knows what killed them.
OP, you did a brave and good thing.
no opinion, op.
i'm sorry for your loss.
Uncuddleable anons block my posts.

i only mentioned the shotgun as a theoretical limit of efficacy - it's guaranteed to work. i don't know anything about firearms but i'd be incredibly nervous about partially missing or damaging the brain.

Same,
Manly tears.
I think you did the right thing, OP.
/k/ here.
What caliber was your gun chambered in?

Anyone who rightfully deserves to be in /k/ would not be asking that in a thread like this.
I took my dog for a final camping trip with me when he started to get really bad. I insisted with my wife that it was just me and him, for old time's sake.
Obviously she freaked out when I came back minus one dog. Screw all the people who say you're wrong; I know that's the way he would've wanted it, and I didn't want him to hurt anymore. You did the right thing, OP.
And that's the last Corgi post for me.
>by the lake
>I shot
>don't believe anyone heard
Are you aware of how well water carries sound? You can clearly hear a train miles away across a lake. I'd imagine you could hear a gun shot very very far. Note that probably anyone really cares.
That being said. My condolences. What you did was probably the right thing.
