Compassion-holds AKA hospice care; TISSUE ALERT
Every Life Has Worth: Why Compassion Holds are so Important | Lessons From Layla
this is more about human-behavior than dog-behavior, but it IS about dog-needs or pet-needs.
hospice, even in a short-term stay, is a way to help an animal have a better, more humane end of life.
we often cannot fix what is wrong - but we can give them some space & time to feel loved, safe, & cared for,
before they die - and as peaceful a death as possible.
