I am a vet. Once I was called to examine a ten—year—old dog named Belker. The dog's , Ron, along with his wife Lisa and his son Tom all loved Belker. They were very sad. I Belker and found he would die of cancer. I told the familv that we couldn't do anything for Belker.
Then, Ron and Lisa asked their six—year—old son Tom to see the whole thing. They felt this was a good chance the little boy to learn something from this experience. Tosurprise, Tom seemed calm. He touched the lovely dog for the last time. I didn't know he could understand what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker died
After Belker's death, we talked about the fact that animal lives arethan human lives. Tom, who was listening quietly , suddenly said, "I know why. " Then , I heard the best reason I had ever heard. He said , " People are to learn how to live a good life. They learn to everybody and be nice all the time. " The six-year-old boy continued, "Well, already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay so long. "
