This incredible man takes his 19-year-old Belgian Malinois to the lake every day so he can sleep peacefully for a few hours and have sweet dreams. 🐾💙Shep, this Belgian Malinois, cannot sleep—he has been suffering from chronic arthritis for a long time. The joints of this energetic and medium-built Belgian Malinois hurt so much that he can barely drag his hind legs when he walks.Veterinarians offered to give him a lethal injection to free him from this pain. But his owner could not do it.How could he? This is the same loyal Belgian Malinois friend who once saved him from suicide. 🖤Now, to ease the pain of his beloved four-legged Belgian Malinois companion, he carries him into the lake and stands in the water for hours, holding him in his arms so he can finally sleep comfortably. 🌊🤍Words cannot express this feeling. When you give love, it comes back to you ten times over. ✨“I want people to remember that when they see these photos,” said Shep’s owner, John Unger.
