It's clear there were reasons the poor dog kept running away, not the least of which was being tied to a tree in every weather condition. I'm not one who reads more into life's serendipity than is called for, but when it comes to things like this, well...I believe in my heart that on some unseen level you and this dog came together for a reason and you were there for him with kindness and comfort to usher him from a difficult life. Thrown into an unavoidable tragedy, you showed courage and love.

It's so hard to think that we could be responsible for the pain of a sweet helpless creature but you did your very best and I applaud you for the comfort you gave him at the end. Perhaps it's more than he would have expected from his owner. Tomorrow will be better! And really He is in a better place today!
