This is one of my best friends, his name is Luca❤️ He is a Bernese Mountain Dog, and he is one of the most compassionate, intuitive, and intelligent dog you’ll ever meet!
I knew him as a youngster, and recently reconnected with him.
His owner was very concerned that his time was up. He had a drastic limp, could barely walk more than five steps without needing to lay down, was tired often, and sometimes couldn’t even get up without assistance.
Albeit he is a senior… but it wasn’t his time!
Over the past couple months, we had 4 or 5 sessions. Some of them very short in length. A lot of times he was extremely sore the next day… but in the end, it was all worth it!
His owner no longer dreads that she’s gonna find him laying out there unresponsive. Now when she goes out to get him, he comes out and starts running! Not just a little jog either! He picks up speed and stretches out fully! And then when it comes to bedtime… the little stinker doesn’t want to come in!
Obviously, we don’t know when his time will be. At least now, he’s able to enjoy the time he has left. You can see the glow in his eyes, the excitement in his body, and the happiness in his face!
The world would be a better place , if we all learned lessons from Luca! Never give up! Enjoy your life while you have it! Be kind to everyone!
