Here's a surprising response from a 6-year-old.

As a vet I was asked to examine a very old Irish wolfhound named Belker.

The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa and their little boy Shane were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found that he is unfortunately dying of cancer. I told the family there was nothing we could do for Belker and offered to do the euthanasia procedure for the old dog at their home.

Once we made the arrangements Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for 6 year old Shane to watch the procedure.
They felt that Shane could learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar lump in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.
Shane seemed so relieved to pet the old dog for the last time that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
Within minutes, Belker was sleeping peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept the transition from Belker without difficulty or confusion.
We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that dog lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane, listening quietly, said:
" I know why."
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth touched me.
I had never heard such an explanation. It has changed the way I perceive and live everything.

He said: "People are born so they can learn how to live the good life - how to love everyone all the time and be nice to them, right?"
… the 6 year old continued:
"Well, dogs already know how to do it, so they don't have to stay as long as we do."
