The only dream of many 15-year-old dogs was the wedding of their owners
There is no doubt that dogs are the most loyal and gentle creatures for humans. And the bond between a human and their four-legged companion is hard to describe in words. This beautiful story will tell about the love, respect and deep bond that can be shared between man and dog.
Kelly O’Connell and her old puppy, Charlie Bear, have been living together for 15 years. At the time, the 19-year-old was volunteering at a local New York animal shelter. Charlie was just 13 weeks old when he arrived at the shelter after people found him in a bassinet. Kelly didn’t want to adopt a dog when she saw the baby, she knew it had to happen. “He entered the shelter and said: “Yes.” I’m going to take this puppy home.
A few years later, Kelly, who had just finished veterinary school, moved to Colorado, where she met James Garvin (also a veterinarian). It was love at first sight, and soon after they met, they decided to move in together (and of course Charlie too). Kelly and James decided to get married soon. They wanted Charlie to be there too. Unfortunately, the 15-year-old dog was diagnosed with a brain disease. His condition was getting worse, he was very weak.
A week later, Charlie was euthanized and died peacefully surrounded by his loving family. She will always be remembered by Kelly and Jason.
