We are absolutely heartbroken to have to record that after much heart-searching, discussion and anguish, our lovely Luke was put to sleep yesterday afternoon, his tail wagging to the end.
He was a lovely lovely boy, full of fun and loved to play, and we had tried so hard to overcome his problems. However last week-end he launched a completely unprovoked attack on a Golden Retriever which was innocently walking in on the other side of a playing field, then the next day when he heard a dog bark he bit my husband on the arm, severely bruising it even through his raincoat and thick shirt - after discussion with others, we came to the sad conclusion that we could go no further. The vet was absolutely brilliant and very supportive of our decision.
We remember the day when we helped him, the smallest of the litter, into the world. With pride we watched him grow into a handsome big boy. We were so pleased when he was judged the "best puppy" in his puppy class - and when he won the "dog with the waggiest tail" at a local show. We never, ever, dreamed that it would come to this, and we are totally devastated, but nevertheless glad that he was able to enjoy life with us and his mum right to the end, and that we were able to be with him as he passed away. Please don't make any judgements or suggestions to us, I couldn't cope. We have not done this lightly, I can assure you, and we have considered all other options.
I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry
And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone
When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.
Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

How sad and hard for you to have to have made this decision. It must have been the right thing for you to do as you say your vet was most supportive. It sounds as if he had a wonderful life with you. Run free little man.
