  • In this episode of Rescue Vet, Dr Scott Miller meets up with friend Chris Lewis, an ex-paratrooper who walked the entire British coastline, a total of 19,000 miles, over 6 years, meeting his rescue dog and soulmate Jet along the way. After battling his mental health and PTSD, Chris’ dog saved his life. Sadly Jet's health has been declining rapidly over the last year, and Chris has made the most heartbreaking but brave decision, that it is Jet's time. Chris has asked Scott to help him say goodbye.
    Chris & Jet were raising money on their walk for SSAFA, which provides support to the Armed Forces community - if you would like, you can support their cause by donating on their fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraisin...

    I think the hardest part about having a dog (pet in general) is making the decision to break our own hearts by doing what is best for them- but that pain and heartbreak is the price we pay in return for the unconditional love and support they give us. My heart and empathy are with Chris and his family. Rest well sweet baby girl - run free and leave the pain behind knowing you were so very loved.

      Honestly I agree with you but understand that if it is a parent or a child it is so much harder to make that decision. I have had to make the decision for my mother last year to let no further medical intervention on my mom's behalf except to make her comfortable. She passed peacefully the day before Christmas Eve but it was incredibly hard to make that decision. It wasn't like I outright went to kill her. I said keep her comfortable, keep her from suffering as much as possible. The only issue I have with the idea of dying with dignity is that it is only a step or two away from the dystopian society from The Giver. I don't think it is right to give someone else the ability to "help" someone like that and hear them say they "enjoy" the job. It takes a true psychopath to enjoy a job like that. Watching someone die should NEVER be a good thing, knowing you are giving them a medication that will stop their heart or stop their breathing should never be a job they enjoy. Dr Scott has outright said that this part of his job is one no Vet enjoys but understands the necessity of doing it for the animal's benefit. But human beings aren't animals and as much as we like our animals they are not part of our families and you can grieve an animals passing without acting like it was a human baby. I have lost a baby, 32 weeks pregnant but still a baby, and I have lost pets before. They aren't the same, I cried over my pets for a day or two but I sobbed for 2 months at just the thought of my son and actually got quite severally depressed after the loss. Sorry but I can say the dying with dignity that places like Norway are dancing a very fine line that we executed Nazis for after the end of WW2, it is a truly dangerous line. The same line allowed that nurse a while back kill babies who were simply ill.

      I lost my 19 year old cat last week. One minute he was sitting on my son's lap purring, jumped down and keeled over. He had a massive stroke. He was PTS by our kind vet. Although he was aware of us, his motor function was completely gone. We stayed with him as he crossed to Rainbow Bridge, telling him how much we loved him and thanking him for 19 wonderful years. We lost his brother Harley last October. He hadn't been well earlier that year but was successfully treated. He had his dinner, curled up, went to sleep and never woke up. They were half-Bengals. Now together again and reunited with their lifelong friend, Chico who passed away just shy of his 22nd birthday. Benji was a talkative cat (as was his brother). We haven't got used to not hearing his cat-chat yet. We got his ashes home yesterday so he's back home where he belongs, with us.

      @@carolcox302 We still have 8 cats, all rescues. The two half-Bengals were the only cats who were not rescues. They were given to me by a work colleague. The story behind them is quite amusing. My work colleague's wife bred Bengals. That year we had a hot summer. At about 2am my colleague and his wife were awoken by a lot of howling and banging around. Thinking they were being burgled, Alan crept downstairs to find the local Tom having his wicked way with their Bengal queen. Alan had left a small window open and the local Tom saw his chance and took it. Non-pedigree kittens were the result so they chose people they knew loved cats and would look after them. Our oldest cat lived to 23. She was also a rescue. I was asked to foster her for one night only. We had her for 15 years. She was 8 years old when we got her. Our cats ages range from 12 years old to 4 years old.

I know what has to be done but I have not been able to do the last step. Seeing this video made me realize that I have to as I am not being fair to her. She is deaf, losing her sight, can not control her bladder and her legs give out so we can no longer go for walks. I understand what Chris Lewis was feeling. So again I thank you for posting this and making me realize I am being selfish not to let her go.

    Thank you for letting us take part in this very intimate moment of Jets, Chris' and even Scotts life! I know from personal experiance, that loosing a fury family member is hard. Seeing you handling Jets last day with such dignity and respect makes it hurt a little less (or at least different)

    The tears are flowing! I remember hearing about Jet and Chris years ago. They had such a beautiful bond. Thank you Chris for giving Jet such an amazing life and loving her so much. It is the hardest decision anyone with a furbaby can make. She felt your love until the end. RIP Jet...run free at the Rainbow Bridge in the meadows with the butterflies 🌈♥

    This was heartbreaking to watch, but such a wonderful example of why we love Dr Scott. The way he cares for these sweet little creatures and their human parents is unsurpassed.

    How unbelievably heartbreaking. But generous too. The greatest gift we can give our pets is to let them go when they are suffering. Jet is running free once again on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. May your Precious memories mend your broken heart, Chris and family. God bless veterinarians everywhere who we all lean on to do the right thing when it is impossible for us to do so.

    thru many years and having multiple dogs never ever gets easy to say goodbye to our beloved friends. ONe never forgets them, but our soul and our heart has a lot of room to help another dog in need of love and care...in return we receive so so much that we won't have a life time to repay them what they do for us.

    I Lost my dog at the age of 13 do to cancer the toughest decision that we had to make as a family is to put her down . all my other dogs passed away peacefully . but with our dog she wasn't eating she wasn't moving so I went with her on her last car ride to the vet to put her down we have her ashes and her memorial with us here at home .

    This is one of the most heartbreaking things to have to do… but it also one of the most brave and selfless things a human will ever do for their Furkid… NEVER miss the opportunity to be there to help them cross the rainbow bridge…. NEVER let a Vet take them to another room… NEVER leave ur animal alone without u being by their side… NEVER.

    Bless you, Dr. Scott, for being their for your friends and Jett. The loss of a furbaby is the loss of a family member. 💔🐕🌈 Run free in the Summer Fields, dear Jett.
    P.S. It's not a coincidence that d-o-g and G-o-d have the same three letters as they both give unconditional love whether we deserve it, or not.

    WOW! I'm in tears! I work retail and never have this kind of connection with my customers. I find it so rewarding that you get that. It must be difficult at the same time to be with someone at such a moving moment. Both the dog and the human really needed you! Amazing passage!

    This video had me in tears, because I completely understand the loss of a dog or a cat, you feel the pain the emptiness they leave in your mind, heart and soul, the love you get from them is unconditional.RIP beautiful Jet .

    Oh that hurt and I felt so for both Chris and his little family and for Scott. The last words my late father said to me as he was dying was, "You never let any of our dogs suffer beyond endurance, why do I have to?" I couldn't tell him "because our laws say so!" so I just squeezed his hand and wet it with tears. He was right! And, I never let any of our many dogs and cats go without hearing my voice and feeling my touch on them until their hearts stopped beating. I dearly loved every one of them and they are all woven into the tapestry of my life, bringing it meaning and colour beyond description. Thank you for sharing your story with us all Chris.....In time Jet will send you another one of her kind who will need your love, and who will have much love to give you all as a family.

    Honestly this absolutely killed me, my beautiful dog is now 13, he absolutely hate vets and is just so petrified of them, I promised him that if there was a problem I would ask the vet to come to us where he was happy and safe, my promise to him would be my love for him because I know when it’s his time which is shortly I would never let him down and he would hear us telling him we loved him and would always love him x

    Having had to make this difficult decision many times over the past 40+ years, it's hard each time. And even though you know you're doing a kindness by ending their suffering, it doesn't help it hurt any less. 💔
