When dogs get older, it’s only natural that they change a bit. They no longer have the strength or the will to do the things they used to enjoy.
However, this does not mean that they don’t want to. Age makes anyone feel weaker, and our pups experience this much faster.
When they become seniors, we take care of them and give them the best chance to enjoy their final years because they deserve it.
It’s always heartwarming to see owners who provide care for their old dogs, but they are not the only ones. We often underestimate how much dog siblings contribute to this.
When it comes to this sweet dog from New York, she is doing her best to help her sick sibling, and this is their story.
An Incredible Bond
Lucy and Domino’s story is an interesting one. Both of them were adopted from the same shelter in New York, but Domino was a senior dog who could not do the things he used to do.
He is suffering from Dementia, and it has made his life much harder. It doesn’t matter what he is doing; his sibling Lucy is always there for him.
She will stay by his side at all times. When he’s going out at night, he gets a little lost, but she is there with him every step of the way.
Their mom was surprised one night when Domino woke her up only to see Lucy there as well. The woman could see that Domino was looking around in confusion, so she took him outside.
Then, Lucy went back to sleep because she knew that her friend was in good hands. When they were playing outside, Lucy would always check up on her friend to make sure he was okay.
Lucy Changed Everything
This shocked her owner. The woman was completely surprised by this sweet dog because she knew virtually nothing about her past.
She assumed that Lucy was abandoned because of her allergies. It also meant that her mom always had to prepare food for her and it helped her a lot.
When Domino and Lucy first met, their owner was a bit worried about how this event would go, but Domino surprised his mom with his behavior.
He acted like he had met the most amazing dog on the planet, and who knows. Maybe for him, Lucy is perfect. She has made him so much happier despite his dementia.
Not only has she made him happy, she also changed her owner’s life and they are so lucky to have her.
The woman ended the story by noting that Lucy fixed a hole in her heart after she lost her soul dog, and that is just such an amazing thing to hear. Their story is truly heartwarming.
