The thought of people having to say goodbye to their pets always make us ugly cry. Even more so when you think of how tightly knit our Latin familias are, our puppies become one more member. So when we came across Reddit user Rawtashk's story about how his two dogs reacted to his dog Josef, or Sef for short, being put down, it broke our hearts. The owner shared a photo of his two other dogs, Rhonin and Jaina, gathering around Sef the morning he was due to be put to sleep–and it is so heart-wrenching.

Rawtashk shared the full story of how Sef came into his life and of the time they spent together, but now he was forced to say goodbye to his furry friend due to a nerve sheath tumor under his right shoulder that had completely paralyzed his leg. The owner shared photos of the sad day, including the one with his two brothers, and of his last moments with Sef after the pup spent 12 long and beautiful years by his side.
"You know you have a good boy when your vet doesn't normally do at-home euthanasia, but she volunteers to come out and do it for Sef. And that's what happened this morning. Somehow Rhonin and Jaina both knew because they kept coming over and giving Sef kisses this morning while we waited for the vet," he wrote. "Sef was able to go peacefully at home, while my wife and I stroked his fur and told him how much we loved him and how much we were going to miss him. Then I took him on one last car ride to the pet memorial place where they will do a private cremation and we'll put his ashes on the shelf next to [another one of our dogs] Drago's."
