Several years ago, a friend of mine had her dog put down at her husband's insistence after the dog began 'leaking' urine. As they face their inevitable divorce (not because of the dog . . .but because their inability to resolve their difference on the issue without one of them 'caving' was just an example of how they handled many issues) the dog's death comes up again and again as a source of terrible resentment. In face, I can honestly say that his insistence that the dog be euthanized is going to cost him prettily, . . .and I don't mean emotionally.
