A young man with a big heart has made a dream come true that for many seemed impossible, it was about giving a terminally ill puppy a just and loving ending. Although the cause might seem simple due to its kindness and humanitarianism, it turns out that not everyone was willing to give the love that Luciano Karosas gave to a furry dog named Thanos.
The dog previously baptized as Coco had gone through four homes in which they promised to make him truly happy but failed. For this reason, when Luciano welcomed Thanos, there were many doubts about it.
And it is that the puppy’s situation was complex due to his health condition. Thanos was doomed to die from a rapidly progressing brain tumor. At the time the young man met him there was not much to do for him other than one thing and perhaps the most important.
Given his condition, the dog needed special care and not all people were willing or fully prepared to provide it. A loving family was with him through much of the process, but he ultimately decided to throw in the towel.
After that unfortunate episode, the puppy went through three other shelters but they all ended up returning it to the shelter. This story moved Luciano so much that the young man decided to act.
At 21 years old, Luciano lived one of his most difficult experiences and that is that for him the complex was not the care that Thanos required but the little time he would have to make him happy.
“I had a hard time adjusting to the idea of the little time we will spend together. I took him to a stem cell vet to see what we could do, looking for a little more hope (I had given him 40 days to live) and he told me there is no treatment that will extend that time. I left with a piece of my heart in my hand,” said Luciano.
The days following that visit with the doctor, the puppy lived a dream because Luciano took it upon himself to make him feel good despite everything he faced.
Although for Thanos it seemed that sleeping in dad’s arms was his best medicine. Luciano was not able to save him from cancer, but from loneliness, because no one knows what would have happened to the puppy if it hadn’t been for the young man.
Sadly, Thanos’ future was already marked and he hung his wings in January, but not before marking the life of his owner forever and teaching him a great lesson.
Luciano is perhaps the most generous person we know and, although saddened by the loss of his friend, he feels calm that in life he gave him everything he could have given him.
How many people do not regret everything they stopped doing for their loved ones? Undoubtedly this story and the example of the boy should be a lesson for everyone.
Fly high, Thanos. And thank you for the joy that you also sowed in this world. Luciano will always remember you.
