Harry was a contented dog but he awoke this morning and something was very wrong[00:00:39]
He couldn't be bothered to beg for mid morning biscuits[00:00:45]
He couldn't be bothered to roll over and rub his back[00:00:48]
E rough floor he couldn't be bothered to scratch at anything that might be nibbling away at him[00:00:51]
He just lay on top of his kennel feeling thoroughly depressed even his tail wouldn't wag[00:00:56]
Four months earlier his owner[00:01:07]
An elderly gentlemen whom harry had been devoted to ever since he was a puppy[00:01:09]
Had been temporarily forced to leave the country[00:01:12]
Leaving harry with a trustworthy caring couple who lived around the corner[00:01:15]
Even his kennel was in the same spot in their yard just to the right of the back door[00:01:26]
This is the same kennel that harry had now been moping on top of for three days[00:01:35]
Despite the best efforts of the young caring couple to cheer him up[00:01:40]
Offers of chicken and an endless stream of un fetched balls sent rolling down the yard[00:01:43]
Nothing could coax harry from his gloom so it was decided to send him to the vet[00:01:49]
Harry was a large dog and heavy withered and he was in no mood to climb down from his kennel[00:01:59]
And trot to the waiting car to travel two miles to the surgery[00:02:03]
Eventually he was lifted with the aid of a neighbor onto a blanket and hobbled from kennel to car[00:02:07]
From the car to the vets when once harry would have put up a fight before going within 500 yards of this place[00:02:13]
During the whole journey he never raised an eyebrow[00:02:21]
Of course the vet could find nothing wrong with harry[00:02:23]
Mentioned depression suggested chicken and balls sent harry home to rest[00:02:27]
Still wrapped in the blanket took seven days for the notification to come through[00:02:33]
The owner had died in his sleep leaving specific instructions for harry to be put down harry was a dead dog[00:02:45]
