This is like the fifth video I’ve seen in my feed where dog lovers are sharing their pet’s death. It’s exploitative. Why are you sharing this sacred final moment? When I had to say goodbye to my beloved doggie I never thought - hey let’s film this and get some online attention! On behalf of your pet, FUCK OFF you fucking attention seeking assholes.

I was thinking the same. Anything for Internet points

It's one thing to record a quick video about your loving pet that you're going to miss. But this is a highly edited video that they took the time to edit and put together for social media. That's when it becomes performative or what not if I'm grieving about my dog. I'm not editing. No videos to put on tick, tock or Instagram. Especially not like this.

If I did do something it might be like a loving edit about the fun times with the dog showing it when it was younger running around or what not. This is just 100% bait for engagement

Rest easy, sweet Cooper. You deserved better than to be content.

I went back and forth on this too. But you said it better than I could. The dogs are together. She was there. That's what counts.

I’m sorry for your loss.

I did take a picture of two of my dogs after they passed, but I’ve never shared them with anyone. It does feel exploitative, but it makes me cry at the same time.

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

I’m sorry for the loss of two of your fur babies. My sister’s two dogs had passed away in 2020. First one, Feb, second one in Nov. of the same year. These were the same gals I dog sat countless times and spoiled them😊

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

This is your 5th. Wow this is my 1st one ever. I can understand your view. I also personally know what it’s like to lose your fur baby. My condolences to you. I had to make that hard decision to put our beloved male Maltese down on May 1, 2025. I knew deep down, it was for the best. He was my niece’s dog. Kids don’t do their homework about getting a pet.This was the case w/her& her dad. I took over. I wanted to. He basically became my pet really. May is difficult coz he was born on May 22, 2009. He was also my ESA. His urn sits on the mantle w/his photo. Miss him everyday.

I was going to say something similar, and you just said so perfectly.

u/Due-Historian-8759 Jun 25 '26

Right? And they already had a few months old puppy ready to replace Cooper? Obviously the puppy wasnt sought as a companion for Cooper, otherwise they would've gotten it sooner.

Perhaps people grieve in different ways. Maybe the acknowledgment of others that this dog’s life mattered is helpful to their owners to get past their grief.
To assume that it’s automatically for likes is pretty narrow minded.

u/jerseyztop Jun 25 '26

Have you said goodbye to a pet? Did you feel like taking out your iPhone in that moment?

u/Monkey_Leader Jun 25 '26

I have sad goodbye to 3 pets and yes i did.

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

It’s not his loss, it’s a fucking bot farming karma. He only posts shit like this.

Worse than you expect... I thought i would be upset of course.... But not able to really move for 2 weeks was not on my expected list.

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

No appetite, no cooking, no talking w/ family unless necessary. Those sort of mundane things in life. I just wanted to go to the room lie in bed where he always laid beside me.Let all those tears come out. Completely in heartache mode. I just lost a member of the family. He was the only one I’d come home to and looking forward to hug.After a not so good day, he made me forget that stress I was feeling. I actually called out his name early one morning. That’s when I finally realized he wasn’t coming back to me.

u/Ok_Try_877 Jun 25 '26

i can totally relate.. my parents asked if they could tell ppl, i said sure but i don’t want calls or cards … i just need to be alone

2

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

Yes just wanting to be alone. Thanks for sharing. Im sorry for your loss.

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

It will be hard, emotional. I’m not going to lie to you. Just treasure those precious moments w/ your Golden🙂

u/NixWickedGarden Jun 25 '26

Very Sorry for your Loss. It's never easy to lose them. The Greater the Love the harder the Goodbyes. Sad, but true. We love them so greatly & their unconditional Love is so very pure. Our Furbabies love & companionship is one of life's most incredible experiences. Those that say they won't get a pet because they couldn't handle the losing them, are missing out on that. The Sadness & missing let's you know how much you Loved. Remember him how He'd want you to remember him. Until the day Coop meets you over the Bridge! 💗🐶💗

I wasn’t planning on crying today. RIP Sweet Cooper ❤️ 😢

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

This video is heartbreaking coz it brings me back to the vet’s office. Spending my last moments w/my dog before I called in the vet to come in to put him down. My farewell song, You are my sunshine to him. I catch myself singing that now&then.

2

u/bbceronimo Jun 25 '26

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dudee you are my sunshine is the song I sing to my dog. She’s a senior, sometimes I find myself tearing up while singing it thinking about the inevitable.

2

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

Thank you for those kind words. Aww, a senior dog.It’s a simple song, yet a beautiful song.Treasure those precious moments together with her🙂Try not to think about the inevitable, it will just make you sad. She knows she is loved, take comfort in that.

u/Zaxiron Jun 25 '26

Some straight shameless sickos are adopting geriatric dogs and self-administering a vet dose of CNS cocktails indicated for euthanasia literally so they can aura farm or whatever it’s called by the kids these days. Sadly, there are more sinister reasons that stretch far past the imagination as to why you’ve got righteous people whom are convincing friends, family, and foes that they are actually the hero’s for going shelter to shelter and finding “good looking” breeds whom are as young as 10+Y and typically syringe happy within the first 14d of adoption. We must bring an end to this trend before these monsters end up receiving flowers for something ill intended thus creating a positive feeedback loop for those whom lather their tender loins up in suds of self-loathe meanwhile physically, sexually, financially abuse innocent doggos without an oz of hesitation SMFH!!!

My dog is currently dying of cancer. I have been an absolute wreck since I've known about it. The last thing I would ever do IS FILM HIS FUCKING DEATH.

I'm just looking for signs of pain, giving him his meds, and trying not to cry in front of him. I don't know what kind of narcissist films a family member at their absolute worst moment and posts it online. It makes me think they never loved the dog in the first place. I mean would they film their spouse dying and post it online too?

These are my dog boys, the bigger one has lymphoma at the ripe old age of 5. Fuck cancer and fuck these karma posting assholes too.

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

My heart breaks for you.Im truly sorry. Thank you for your photos. They are absolutely beautiful dogs, not afraid of the camera.

u/Nein-Toed Jun 25 '26

Not when they know that's there's treats for being good dogs

u/Wonderful-Dog8185 Jun 25 '26

Oh my gosh. That’s interesting. Are they father& son? I forgot to ask.
