Sad Moment at the End of the Book

At the end of the book, I was saddened when Sprite had to be put down due to his poor medical conditions. He was weak and would not continue to walk, making it impossible for him to live without the Thus, Mark, the author of the book, had to sadly put him down because of this. After Sprite’s death, Mark and his family were very sad because of their pet’s death and the short amount of time that they had their pet. The worst part was when he had an autopsy of the pet, and he found traces of arthritis, which could have been easily treated when Sprite was alive. Unfortunately, Sprite died before they could found out because they did not have an MRI scan before when they were given the option to. Sad to say, the ending was not happy, but it truly expressed the pain of losing a pet and how a dog truly does make you happy for the short lifespan they have. I would easily say that the book has touched me, and I now know that when my dog dies, it will be hard to cope with it.
