A
Working as a vet(兽医), I met a family that taught me an unforgettable lesson. They came to my clinic with their dying dog, Coco. I examined Coco and found she was old and had a serious illness. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Coco, and that euthanasia(安乐死) would be the best for the dog.
On that day, their little boy Eric seemed so calm, patting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.
The little boy seemed to accept Coco’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco’s death. I explained that animals’ lives are shorter than human lives.
Eric, who had been listening quietly, said, “I know why.”
He said, “People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The 6-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.”
I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animals’ lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see every day as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.
