At the Vet

For my cat Tom, and I'm in the waiting room when I saw a poster called
"A Dog Purpose" from a 6 year old boy. The story explains how a family's
dog was very old and sick with cancer. So they decided to euthanasize
the dog at home with the vet there. They worried about the 6 year old
boy and how he would react. When the dog died the family wondered
outloud about how the animal lives are shorter than humans and the
little boy piped up "I know why."
He then added "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good
life. -like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" then
he continued "well dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have
to live as long."
God I started to tear right up!
