Does friendship have an expiration date? Not always. Only a few of our friends can keep our trust, and that of course includes animals. A video has appeared on the Internet showing a German Shepherd suffering from joint problems. The older man, seeing the problems his pet was facing, could not have behaved differently. Prepare your tissues – Internet users have already wet their keyboards with tears watching this video.
A dog is a friend for life
Senior dogs, just like older people, need special care and attention. Their bodies may be weaker, even though their hearts are still full of love and devotion. As pets age, they may suffer from a variety of health problems, such as vision and hearing loss, rheumatism, urinary incontinence, and dental problems. It is important to make life as easy as possible for an elderly pet. By introducing small changes, we are able to significantly improve the quality of life of older dogs.
The scene that connected thousands of hearts across the world was captured in a recording lasting almost half a minute. The material shows an elderly German Shepherd and its equally elderly owner. The extraordinary relationship and bond that was forged between man and animal moved Internet users to tears.
An old German shepherd couldn’t get into the car. The recording moved animal lovers
The video shows a German Shepherd who, as is often the case with this breed, experiences mobility problems and does not have the strength to jump into the trunk of a car. The dog owner does not leave his beloved companion even for a moment. To help the elderly dog, the man takes out a special ramp and helps the dog use it. The guardian not only encourages the animal to enter with words, but also supports it, ensuring that its friend is not harmed.
The video, posted on social networks, quickly went viral, causing an avalanche of comments. People from the most remote corners of the world express in this message their emotion and their admiration for interspecies friendship. Video has become a symbol of empathy and care, so important in relationships with animals.

“It’s pure love.”

How to help a senior dog?
Helping older dogs can have a huge impact on their quality of life. Regular visits to the veterinarian are crucial to monitor your pet’s health and to be able to react in time if problems arise. A diet adapted to the needs of an aging animal can help maintain good physical condition. In addition, a comfortable bed and useful accessories, such as steps or mats, make it easier to move and use the dog’s worn joints. It is also worth providing older dogs with regular but gentle exercise that does not require excessive effort.
However, the most important thing is to show love and patience towards animals. Small gestures can make the autumn of our four-legged friends’ lives truly happy. Dogs, especially older dogs, need support in the form of gentle petting, quiet walks, or calming monologues from their guardian. This way you can significantly improve their well-being and create memories that will stay with you even after the death of your beloved pet.
