Les belles histoires ne se finissent pas toujours bien

Some of you might remember the story of that dog, Capi, I told a little while ago.

Capi was a young dog full of affection who spent the first three years of his life in a loveless home where he wasn't taken care of.

Last May two family friends (Jacques and Annick) rescued him from possible death and took him into their home.

A few weeks ago, a car ran into him while Jacques was walking him. The collision broke Capi's spine ; he was going to be paralyzed for life, if he could live at all.

So Jacques called Annick and together they decided the best thing to do was to put Capi to sleep.

Clean broken spine, Capi didn't have a splotch of blood on him. They stayed with him until the end.


I saw the tears in my mom's eyes and I know it's only a fraction of what Annick and Jacques must have felt, and it tears me inside.

Capi had finally found a good home, he was full of love and energy, he loved them. Loved them. And they loved him back, so much.

That story deserved a happier ending.


I'm miles away from where you are
I lay down on the cold gound
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms


EDIT : For three years he was left to survive by himself, never got really hurt. Six months in a loving family and he dies. "We couldn't protect him," Annick told my mom. What do you say to that?

Oh man, that just broke my heart. I grew up with dogs you see, so I'm probably one of those people who likes dogs better than humans, in the general sense. That's just too sad.
I also went to see the pictures rom the other post, and I love the first one of Caramel! :-) It makes me miss not having a dog here even more (but with my schedule it wouldn't be fair to the poor thing).

I'm right there with you - for now it's impossible for me to own a dog (future's too uncertain) but every time I come home to Caramel, I remember why I love those animals. And I know I'll get myself one as soon as I get a chance. Which is why this story just makes me so sad.

And thanks for the pic! Animals are not always easy to take pictures of, I think, but when they come out right they remind me of how adorable Caramel can be ;)
