Dog Eats a Chocolate Bar as a Final Treat Before Going to Sleep
A man gave his dying dog a chocolate bar – a treat that dogs love but is toxic to them – as a last loving gesture before she was put to sleep on April 23. Footage recorded by Miller Hurtado Toro shows his dog Sharon enjoying the tasty sweet before she was injected with euthanasia drugs. Toro told Storyful that Sharon was 12 years old and had been battling tick-borne canine ehrlichiosis for two years. “We tried to take her to find more treatments, but they saw that she had lung cancer, with metastases in her lungs and liver that made her weak from lying down,” he said. Toro said. “The day before yesterday, she couldn’t get up, and that’s when I made the decision,” he explained. Toro said. he had often denied Sharon the taste of chocolate because candy is particularly bad for dogs’ health, but he thought she should try it as a final treat. “No dog should leave without trying chocolate first,” Toro said.
