Here is a picture of Max our last dog with my daughter Katie-Mae.
Max was a great addition to the family, always so loving and so gentle. When katie mae was a baby he was so good with her. He never had any problems until the end. He always used to sleep under our bed. One night in the early hours he got up then yelped then feel over and pee'd on the floor. We stayed up with him, he seemed OK. Then at 7ish he went out for a pee and fell over outside. We took him to the vets and found he had a heart murmer and other things wrong with him. We had to put him to sleep. Wife said she never wanted another dog and was really upset.
After just 3 weeks of the house being really quiet the Mrs decided she suddenly needed another dog. Every night that week she looked on gumtree. She even text me at work that week asking if I would have a cat. She saw a nice husky but I managed to hold her off. Then she showed me a picture of a litter of 10 GSD pups. The rest is history.
