That's sad.
When I read they would truck him to Florida, I was worried and wondered why they didn't fly him. That must have been a rough ride.

My aunt and uncle had an old, feeble poodle that was about 15 years old. She was blind in one eye, deaf, and almost bald.
They debated for weeks about whether to put her to sleep. They finally decided to take her to the vet to be put down.
They loaded her into a crate, put her in the car and headed to the vet.
The dog died on the way......
