[quote=Anonymous]Remind your child that animals hide their suffering. It's probably apparent that the dog is older, slow, skinny, unable to walk around very well etc etc. But remind your child that animals cannot tell us that they're in pain, or they feel sick. Even though it seems like he's happy when he gets up to greet you with a wagging tail, it's probably very painful for him to do so. I think explaining this to our son helped with the idea of euthanasia. [/quote]
