[ WP ] You are an old , faithful dog who is about to be put to sleep .

“ I don ’ t know if I can do this ” the man whispered. A lump formed in his throat as he tried to fight off the tears. 
 
 “ It ’ ll be okay, remember all the fun times we had? ” The man glanced over and thought back to a simpler time, a magnificent time. It was almost like yesterday that he stumbled upon a new best friend. Full of fleas and skinny to the bone. He took him in, fed him and made sure he was safe from all harm. From that moment on they started a bond. A bond that would last for eternity. “ I ’ m going to miss all the time we played ball, that was my favorite. ” 
 
 “ I know buddy, mine too ” the man looked down at the floor as he couldn ’ t hold it back anymore. Tears ran down from both sides of his cheeks. He reached into his pocket and took out an aged tennis ball. It looked like it had been to hell and back. The fabric was halfway gone as the man placed the faded yellow ball next to his dying friend. “ I don ’ t want you to go ” the man choked on his words. His friend pressed his muzzle into the man ’ s hand from where he was laying. 
 
 “ It ’ s almost time ” his friend said from the freezing steel counter he was laying on. The door suddenly opened and in walked another man. Dressed in all white and with a heavy coat from the same color. Something was in his hand, something pointy. The time was upon them. All the man could think of was, what life was going to be like without them together. The man stood up from his seat and wrapped his arms around his warm pal for the last time. “ I ’ m going to miss you. ” 
 
 “ Don ’ t go! ” the man burst out in a loud cry holding his friend tighter to his body. The other man in the room approached the counter, raising his needle. 
 
 “ I have to do this. ” 
 
 “ Just get it over with! ” The man yelled. The doctor moved his hand closer and started to stick the device into his friend ’ s body. His friend felt the sensation of a prick against his skin. And then a gush of liquid enter his body. After a few seconds, he started to feel woozy. His eyes began to feel heavy and he was becoming disorientated. As his eyes slowly shut he whimpered. 
 
 “ I….love…..you… ”
