Animal lovers and those who have a dog, or any pet at home, know how difficult a separation is.
The little animals have a hard time and the owners are heartbroken when they have to leave them for a moment. But, when that separation is forever, and the final moment comes when our furry ones have to cross the rainbow, there is no heart that can resist it.
This is what a well-known Argentine writer and journalist, Valeria Schapira, had to face.
She documented the devastating last moments of her 11-year-old dog, Joy.

“Joy left today and, with him, a large portion of my soul. My crazy old man, Chiñor, left after a long physical pain, with a tumor that took him away in days,” Valeria’s touching Instagram message begins.
Valeria recorded the sad moment when, with a broken soul, she had to say goodbye to her beloved Joy. She wanted to share with her friends how broken she was and how half her life was going in her faithful companion of adventures.
The little dog was diagnosed with a tumor to the intestine and metastasis, and that’s why he made the decision to give him a “peaceful departure”, as it had been his entire life.
Valeria found no better way than to dedicate a song to him so that he would feel accompanied and comforted in those difficult moments.
Spontaneously, the journalist began to sing “Dulcemente hasta el final”, by David Bisbal, with her voice completely broken, while continuing to caress him and show him how much she loved him.
The emotional video has thousands of views on his social networks along with a wave of online comments:
“As we have always shared our adventures, I also want to leave you a little video, part of our coexistence in these days of farewell and fight against his illness,” Valeria wrote next to the scenes.
The journalist thanked so many shows of solidarity in such difficult times, only everyone who knew her could take charge of what it really meant to her. And added:
“I will write about him and his teachings; there will be time… now it is time for his journey to a purer land. Thank you to everyone who accompanied us these days with their love, prayers, affection and respect. Eternal thanks to each of the people who helped us through these times of confusion, uncertainty and pain.”
In addition, on his Twitter account he shared the emotional words he dedicated to Joy, with which he identified so much:
Her social networks are full of images and memories of her beloved pet. He even shared another video that he had saved on his phone, which shows a Joy already finished by the disease, but surrounded by affection for his owner.
When she was almost out of breath, she still had the strength to show her love with her little paw until the end:
It is very important that we are empathetic with all those who lose a pet, they are another member of the family, they are adored like a son, and overcoming their grief is not easy at all.
May all those who suffer such a loss have a shoulder by their side that understands, encourages and strengthens them.
