i once heard a story,
A couple came in with their dog, both seemed stressed and sad. they told the vet to euthanize the dog. When the vet asked why they just ensured him to do it so evetually he went ahead and euthenized the dog. When he asked later why they had done it they said.
'we are seperating and couldnt decide who would keep her'

While Euthanasia is, yeah, really sad, sometimes you're doing the animal a favor.

No Dog wants to hobble around scratching and pissing all over itself because it no longer knows which way is up and which is down.

I really like the way you captured each emotion in this piece. I mean, really like it. I like looking at it for longer than 15 seconds.
:iconayalpinkus:
Very expressive. This is more than an illustration, as your opinion on the subject shines through. Great work!
:iconlaphyette:
My family had to put our dog to sleep a few months ago and it was the saddest thing I've ever experienced. There was barely any ethical dilemma left by the end though, as she stopped eating and basically degenerated to a carpet with bones. Do people really euthanize their dogs before that stage? How depressing...

What a compelling image. I imagine Dogs in Canada must have been very pleased.

I really like how you used the touches of red to highlight the four ingredients in this problem.
