re: When people can’t put their pet down when the pet is suffering

Is it possible to get him a new dog? Not a puppy, maybe a 3 or 4 year old dog? His dog may be the last thing that brings him joy and constant companionship. If he’s not going to euthanize, maybe look for ways to help improve the dog’s quality of life. They have pet wheelchairs/walkers if that might help. Also “halos” for blind dogs that go around their heads to keep them from running into things. If it’s feasible financially, check into physical therapy for the dog.

I get these things are probably outlandish, just trying to think of things that can help your dad and his dog. .
