Man makes a cozy beachside bed for his elderly dog — so she could witness the ocean one last time
In a heartwarming gesture of kindness and affection, a man made a unique beach bed for his elderly dog just so he could give her an unforgettable beach experience during her final days. With gentle waves lapping at the shore, it was an ideal farewell to a faithful friend. Many people were moved by this act, which highlighted the close bond between humans and their pets. In a now-deleted Facebook post, Piero Temperato shared photos of his late dog, Greta, resting on a pillow wrapped in a green blanket, gazing peacefully at the sea.
As reported by Scoop Upworthy, the caption of his post read, "I know I'm a madman for bringing you this far in your condition, but I wanted to give you this emotion. I know that you love to see the vastness of the sea - the same immensity of love I have for you, Greta." Although the Facebook post is now deleted, it was reshared by r/MadeMeSmile on Reddit, and social media users flocked to the comment section to share their thoughts. One Reddit user, u/1984Slice, commented, “I love this story however, I have to be honest. Seeing all of these makes me imagine my dog dying every single day, and it is very depressing. I am sorry for your loss.”
Another person, u/arc_medic_trooper, wrote, “It is indeed sad to see that one’s best friend in this situation, but it’s also in contrast shows how much we can love and care for the things we give utmost importance. I’m glad they are doing this, and it makes me happy that this animal means so much to this person.” Similarly, u/ChampionNo3130 said, “Bone voyage, may your journey be as vast as the ocean you look upon and filled with as much love as your human showed you. And may your journey forward be filled with as much protection and affection as your best friend showed you!”
u/LaureldaleOak also chimed in and said, “Aww, sweet Greta. The cure for anything is salt water; sweat, tears, or the sea - Isak Dinesen. Tears came to my eyes when I saw your picture. My two dogs are 14 and 13. They just don’t live long enough!” This shows that the relationship shared by a pet and its owner is quite precious. Our dogs stay with us through all the highs and lows of life, offering comfort, happiness, and sometimes even understanding us better than any other human.
Meanwhile, in another touching story, a woman adopted Rooster, an old rescue dog who was blind, knowing he didn’t have much time left. Despite being one of the oldest dogs at the shelter, the woman, who goes by the username @ksam325 on TikTok, just wanted to give him the best final month possible. In a TikTok slideshow, she captured his final days—his first car ride to freedom, napping in his bed, rolling in the grass, playing with toys, and bonding with his new furry friend, as reported by Newsweek. Unfortunately, the dog's health declined after almost a month at his new house. He never returned home after his owner took him to the veterinarian.
