They call him an officer, he was driven in a swat car with escorts and had a salute. This was absolutely perfect for Zeus. Thank you for serving your community. Rest in peace
Yeah....when someone in your family is really sick like your father or your child, call them an officer, parade them in a swat car with escorts, give them a salute and then put them down. They deserve this for having you as family member. Sad blind idiots ! As if the dog cared for your fu$$$ng swat car and your stupid salute. All a dog cares for is food, love and life.... but some idiots care about stupid things and value them. They should be put down !!!!
My biggest regret was when I was a kid I refused to stand by my dog when they were going to put him down. I thought I couldn't take the heart ache, but it was made much worse by the fact he never left me but I left him. RIP ZEUS
It's not easy, I held his paw and made sure my face was the last thing he saw. I'm tearing up now thinking about it and it was 6 years ago. There's never a right call, mentally it's burned into my brain but I don't regret it either. Your dog would forgive you.
As a veterinarian I can say that this is one of the most hardest things to do! You know you are reducing the suffering but chunk of your heart still gets taken out every time. God speed officer!
@@AndreaSpitzer0961 Without wanting to sounding like a smartass preaching, I can tell you that for me it was when I decided at a very young age my life calling will be to help animals as a Veterinarian and that includes reducing the suffering too. It becomes your mission and I cannot let myself fail because of my emotions, in my case that would be selfish. That is at least how I have set myself up to be able to do what I do. 95% of my job is positives it's the 5% that you have to get through relatively undamaged to push on through doing it. It helped of course that my father is/was also a vet and my wife now too, so we can share our experiences. We all do what we can and that is the important thing. Cheers and thank you.
@@klipser66 I worked as an assistant in Belgium, now I'm studying for veterinarian (I'm in my masters program years). If there is one thing I hate the most (altgough I know it's the best for the animal), it is euthanasia (especially when there are kids also heartbroken/crying, or when no family members want to stay with the animal until he/she's asleep, I find it always so sad when an animal has to die alone). Until now, there were only two times that I cried, it was during my first internship. It was the first time I had the permission of the vet to really assist with surgery (castration, so nothing special) instead of only watching. I was constantly monitoring the dog, I said on a given moment that there was a little bit more time between the breaths, about 5 seconds. The vet stopped immediately with what she was doing, and indeed, it took longer than normal. Despite starting reanimation practically immediately after the dog stopped with breathing, there was nothing to do anymore, after half an hour we decided to stop trying. The vet said that I did everything perfect and I responded faster than she or her colleagues would do, but I felt guilty, one of the worst feelings ever. I'll never forget this day. The second time was when someone brought an abused cat to the veterinary practice. It was a neighbor's cat. They expressly let the dog bite off the cat's tail, and then drove the car over the cat. She was still alive, and we did an X-ray. On the X-ray, we saw a bullet in the head. It was horrible. Despite trying to do our best, the next day we decided to put the cat to sleep, she suffered too much. May all those animals rest in peace very happily ⭐.
@@klipser66 luckily, as you said, 95% is positive. Most of the times, not the animals, but the owners are the most difficult part, how many times I already said: please clean the teeth (and Dentastix are not the right way!), the dog is too heavy (btw not on this way, more tactful and giving advice),... And often, there's the money problem. By the way not the poorest people in our practice are the problem, they often loves their animals the most and wants to do their best, if we know someone with difficulties, we try to help them (secretly, to avoid discussions with jealous people who have no financial problems, but who are just greedy, unfortunately we can't help everybody without making money). The most beautiful moments are when you can give animals that come in in a life-threatening condition healthy back to their owners 😊. And yeah, I already got dog shit etc. in my face/mouth, on those moments you complain that you didn't do another profession/study.
they had to put my dog down yesterday. let me tell you, it was utterly heartbreaking. it wasn't a pet, it was family. and it's hard to lose your family.
In the time it would take to find a cure to the sickness the dog would be going through pain, it’s a honorable death to go quickly and peacefully instead of making him live with the sickness
I watch the video about Zeus he was not only an officer but he was also part of your family I don't know what else to say except may he rest in peace there is an angel in heaven
I really miss my boy, he breathed his last breath in my arms and passed on due to autoimmune disease at 6 and a half, he's always on my mind a year on still. I miss you Carlos, hope you are doing well up there.
My grandmother had two smaller dogs that hated each other, they fought all the time and never really got along. After 16 yrs. The elder of the two had to be put down, then finally the day came where the dog had to be taken to the vet, and pippy (the younger dog) was found cuddling and protecting the older one when my grandmother came to load her into the truck. It was heartbreaking, these dogs had NEVER EVER cuddled not a single time, but that day, they both knew it was goodbye. And Animals Hate Goodbye. :( .
same happened with my first cat sugar she didnt get along with me cuse well i was young and was not gentle as i should have been or what ever but she got cancer and had to be put down i loved that cat and on that final day she came and laid in my lap and cuddled with me till it was time to go... i still miss her this was 30 years ago.
My dog Benny is 10 , last month in bad pain I took him to a vet. He is diagnosed with degenerative hip disease , same as Zeus. He's on meds to help him , they are working well for the time being , but it's borrowed time. I love him so much.
My dog died a few months ago I was as sad as I ever could be when I could not play with my,friends I played with him he was my bff and his gone but his soul,still lives we don't know why he,died he was four
Bless you...I know the agony of having a beloved dog on borrowed time.... We had a dear Lurcher, who developed a tiny limp that wouldn't respond to rest.. x ray 2 weeks later showed the first signs of bone cancer. It was a hot day, but when the vet showed me the results, my blood ran cold as ice. The heavy heartedness of 'pre grieving'' was dreadful..but my worry was that we wouldn't know when the time was right..but one day Twiggy let us 'know'....she looked deeply into my eyes, and she did the same to my son..then, when a friend called, she climbed into his car and put her nose to his face.. I thought ''oh...she is saying ''goodbye..'' [my throat aches even now, 10 years after].. next morning she went downhill, not eating, and I called the vet out .. It was such a peaceful passing, I still dream of her, as does my son. Our other dog needed euthanasia too, if you can arrange it, home euthanasia is much less stressful for all. Hope your dear dog's pain can be controlled so he can enjoy his life for a while yet.
I'm not gnna lie, I cried watching this. The evolutionary bond between dog and man is so strong because we both depended on each other for survival, the doggos would alert us when there was danger, and get rewarded with warmth, love, and food in return for their vigilance.
I was born two weeks after my parents adopted my German Shepherd brother, he was a month older than me. As a single child it was incredibly painful to put him down but it would have been devastating to see him suffering, he was in constant and unbearable pain since his back legs and hip gave up after years of jogging every day with my father. He was 15. I know we will meet again, my brother. Rest in peace Silver.
Our Lab decided she wanted to play with a toy after given the first injection. It was the hardest thing to watch when she soon fell asleep. Then the Vet administered the second injection and it was over. On 07/17/2020 I lost my best friend.
I put my chihuahua down last year, she had a cancer in her mouth and eventually it got too much. I remained sad but calm dignified, however my mother cried all the way there and said the vet trip messed her up. Recently I’ve heard that if you put a dog down, there is a look in their eyes that means “thank you”, and I feel that is a good thing and comfort for any dog owner to not feel bad for their decision. Rest in peace Zeus, you served people outside your state and country proud. Love from Maine.
Losing a pet is hard. Especially someone like Zesus, who not only was a part of a family, but a police department also. Thank you for your service Zeus. May you rest in peace. You are already missed by so many who loved you.
@@jpesicka492 sadly as someone who watched a pet die in front of them I wished I could've got him put down rather them have him cough up blood and slowly die
@@praisethenoot6541 but contrary to what you believe the injection doesn't always work right away and often leads to a more painful more confusing death for the animal
@End Mii i don't have an agenda, i have an opinion. Have your dog injected and watch him stare at yo when it's not working like you are the one that killed him, then talk to me
How is that ironic? You can say that about anyone who saved people before. For example: "Officer ____ saved tons of people. But unfortunately couldn't save himself."
I dont think I was prepared as a grown a** man watching this in a popeyes chicken parking lot....crying my eyes out....while eating a chicken sandwich.
Rest in peace Zeus. You deserve the same honor as human police officers. God bless all who loved Zeus. And I'm sure Zeus loved everybody in the department too. :(

***** What are you even talking about...? I love all animals and would never abuse one. Its obvious you are trolling now. I'll take my leave, since theres no point in arguing with trolls. Have a nice day.
In tears over this. My "little sister" Azlyn was a K9 dog as well, she got her name on a plaque with a beautiful statue in memory of her passing and retirement. She was a fantastic police officer and an even better member of our family. REST IN PEACE you big goof.
I almost lost my dog a couple months ago and she is certainly getting up there in age. I know it is coming within the next year or two at most. So far she is doing great but I can't help but feel the fear and pain of losing her sometimes. She has slept in my bed every night since she was a puppy (except the one night she was at the vets). She is like Family to me too. One of my Children. I know what you feel.
I can't believe how many idiots are giving the officers shit for putting him down and not wanting him to suffer. You can take one look at him and tell he wasn't well. Ever occur to any of you that the reason they're probably wheeling him in is because he can't even stand anymore?
+EB EB Are you really that ignorant to say that the very small amount of evil police officers the media focuses on represent every single officer out there? Go fuck yourself.
Agreed. I got two Dachshunds in 2009 and having owned my business they went to work with me every day My male had to be put down in 2022..Absolutely heartbroken as he was as loyal as a dog could be. My female will be 15 in June. She to is just a loyal wonderful little thing… I know many people who could learn lots from our dogs…..
In this case they treat animals better than humans. Euthanasia for humans is still not legal in most countries, and while a sick dog can be put down, a sick human unable to travel to countries like Switzerland is left to suffer miserably until the last day.
The hardest thing I ever had to due was have my dog Clinger put to sleep 2 years ago, he was 15 1/2 years old but a tumor finally won. We took him to the vet, after talking with the vet, we were going to leave the room but I had to stay with him because while he was laying on the table he got the strength to get up and walk over to me and lay down in my arms and give me a final lick on the check, he stayed loyal to me until the end. He was there for me so I had to be loyal and be there for him. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but knew it was the best thing that had to be done and I will see him again one day. He was my best friend. This video brought me to tears because I know how that officer and his family members felt. This was a great honor and tribute for both Zeus and his partner, friend and family. Zeus, thank your loyalty and service.
@@dezient3816 well they are similar. Both can scar you. Bring back horrid memories But also makes you remember the good times you had with them Also chill man, no need to go hard
God Bless this precious animal. It's so tragic. This hurts so very badly. I've been in this exact situation with my beloved partner of 11yrs. A part of you will never be the same but he is always in your heart
You are right, our Beagle arrived at the vet and backed away from me as I went to carry him out of the car and in the waiting room he was looking at "mom" while she petted him. Just so sad for all of us when the time arrives unexpectedly.
@@mikejung1582 had the vet come to my house because my great dane couldn't walk or even stand and was way to heavy and awkward to get into truck. Had his head on my lap and he slowly passed on after shot. Took all I could do to keep from crying. Vet asked me if I wanted him to help me him outside. He kind of acted like I wasn't planning on taking him out for a very long time, I guess. He was on his blanket and I told the vet I would just drag him outside myself. Later on I dragged him out to the corner of my yard and buried him there. Got him when he was about 4-6 months old and was about 8-9 yrs old when he passed. Pets can be a persons only true friend.
+Old glory Kill the worthless dog that he is now unable to perform his duties, have him murdered, then half staff, saluting and speech, I am sure he will rest in peace knowing the men that he loved had him killed, pffffffffffft to all those responsible for doing this. You should get a medal for killing him.
Well don’t u feel bad if ur dog dies!? Cuz I only pay attention to a great dog plus there’s no right to be so rude it’s just misunderstood so watch out honey!
Thank you for your service Zeus Rest in peace and hope you are running freely & happily in the vast land with lots of treats everywhere... Each animal deserved the very best in life and the afterlife too.
I don’t really know what to say. Just… try your best to stay with her. Stay with her as much as you can. Always let her know that you love no matter what. I lost two of my relatives so suddenly, it was very sad, I get you. Don’t be sad, I know that you’re tying your best to stay bright for her, don’t be sad, or she’ll be sad too. You got this. ❤️
@@monicazeng7262 She's fine and healthy I just worry about her. She's attached to me so much lol, she howls when I come home from college. I do everything to make her feel that she's part of my family cause she is. 🤗 I'm sorry you lost them, it's really hard to lose them.
@@FieldMarshalRommel23 That’s great to know. I’m happy you love her so much. You truly care about each other and that’s something very special that doesn’t always happen. Thank you, also, I know they’re resting very well right now.
As I sit here watching this with my dog on my lap, I shed a tear for that family. Unless you have that special bond, you'll never understand how important these fuzzy buddies can be.
Man you can see this reporter is doing a great job at keeping his composure on cam. You could see the redness in his eyes when he came back, and broke just for a fraction of a moment when he said "... will be thoroughly missed." Touching.
@@MEEG0L shut up I hate people who say to wipe out humans. your stereotyping, not everyone is bad. Everytime someone on the internet tells me this I just get so sad and now I'm starting to believe people like you are trolls. I see how dogs can be better, but no dog is better than my mom or my best friend, or my grandma, or my dad, or my cousin's, my many siblings, my stepmom, so many people I will put first.
Omg that is the hardest thing to do, I’ve experienced that the beginning of the 2020. It still hurts cause I always expect to see her and helping her out to walk. Prayers to the family and the sheriffs who worked with him. He is at a better healthy place playing ball with all the other dog angels. ❤️🐾
This was heartbreaking from beginning to end. I appreciate the effort in him being recognized for his dedication and loyalty. The ceremony and having all his fellow officers there was truly thoughtful. He looked so sweet and when he gave that last bark I cried. He isn't suffering anymore and is in a better place. Heart goes out to the family and friends. Rest in peace Zeus 💜
This was a difficult video to watch, this handsome guy couldn't have gone out a better way, with respect, with love, and with courage and bravery. Whether military, police, or general working dogs, they are partners, friends, confidants and loyal companions to the end! Rest In Peace Zeus, and thank you for your outstanding service!
@Tech Ninja there are things that i can say to defend my use of it, but without a.full story im not typing, youd respond ignorantly. Weed isnt a cure for anything.

I was born two weeks after my parents adopted my German Shepherd brother, he was a month older than me.
As a single child it was incredibly painful to put him down but it would have been devastating to see him suffering, he was in constant and unbearable pain since his back legs and hip gave up after years of jogging every day with my father. He was 15.
I know we will meet again, my brother.

I put my chihuahua down last year, she had a cancer in her mouth and eventually it got too much. I remained sad but calm dignified, however my mother cried all the way there and said the vet trip messed her up. Recently I’ve heard that if you put a dog down, there is a look in their eyes that means “thank you”, and I feel that is a good thing and comfort for any dog owner to not feel bad for their decision. Rest in peace Zeus, you served people outside your state and country proud. Love from Maine.

Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

I almost lost my dog a couple months ago and she is certainly getting up there in age. I know it is coming within the next year or two at most. So far she is doing great but I can't help but feel the fear and pain of losing her sometimes. She has slept in my bed every night since she was a puppy (except the one night she was at the vets). She is like Family to me too. One of my Children. I know what you feel.

Anyone else have that tightness in your chest and neck when you want to cry? Yea thats me right now. R.I.P. Zeus. Live long.
I can't believe how many idiots are giving the officers shit for putting him down and not wanting him to suffer. You can take one look at him and tell he wasn't well. Ever occur to any of you that the reason they're probably wheeling him in is because he can't even stand anymore?

Agreed. I got two Dachshunds in 2009 and having owned my business they went to work with me every day My male had to be put down in 2022..Absolutely heartbroken as he was as loyal as a dog could be. My female will be 15 in June. She to is just a loyal wonderful little thing…
I know many people who could learn lots from our dogs…..

My heart breaks for these officers. God bless them for being humane to this wonderful officer!
I love when humans treat animal the same way as humans
Atilla
In this case they treat animals better than humans. Euthanasia for humans is still not legal in most countries, and while a sick dog can be put down, a sick human unable to travel to countries like Switzerland is left to suffer miserably until the last day.
OliviaLPS TØP nahh these dudes just have too much time on their hands
A Ro one of the best comments i have read on tube
OliviaLPS TØP me too
The hardest thing I ever had to due was have my dog Clinger put to sleep 2 years ago, he was 15 1/2 years old but a tumor finally won. We took him to the vet, after talking with the vet, we were going to leave the room but I had to stay with him because while he was laying on the table he got the strength to get up and walk over to me and lay down in my arms and give me a final lick on the check, he stayed loyal to me until the end. He was there for me so I had to be loyal and be there for him. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but knew it was the best thing that had to be done and I will see him again one day. He was my best friend. This video brought me to tears because I know how that officer and his family members felt. This was a great honor and tribute for both Zeus and his partner, friend and family. Zeus, thank your loyalty and service.

You are right, our Beagle arrived at the vet and backed away from me as I went to carry him out of the car and in the waiting room he was looking at "mom" while she petted him. Just so sad for all of us when the time arrives unexpectedly.
@@mikejung1582 had the vet come to my house because my great dane couldn't walk or even stand and was way to heavy and awkward to get into truck. Had his head on my lap and he slowly passed on after shot. Took all I could do to keep from crying. Vet asked me if I wanted him to help me him outside. He kind of acted like I wasn't planning on taking him out for a very long time, I guess. He was on his blanket and I told the vet I would just drag him outside myself. Later on I dragged him out to the corner of my yard and buried him there. Got him when he was about 4-6 months old and was about 8-9 yrs old when he passed. Pets can be a persons only true friend.
