Illinois Teen Dies Trying to Save Dog From Being Put Down

Caution - this is a very tragic story. I don't know what could have been done to prevent this, but maybe it will do some good to alert parents to how intense children's grief can be over the loss of a dog and to be sure to hold off on euthanasia until the child can be counseled into understanding the need.

So very tragic for teen and dog, sad she tried to save him, and ended up killing him in a worse way.

Cancer is hard, but the teen should have been looked after. I'd love to save any dog with cancer, however if it canno be taken out and the dog be fine, I would not want to see the animal suffer until it dies.

That was incredibly depressing

There's more about the girl that died here. It sounds like there was really no way this could have been prevented. (Except I guess by not ever loving anything.) It was just one of those sudden grief reactions.
