   Indeed, that is the crucial question. I have known folks--we all have--who   
   simply couldn't face euthanizing a critically ill pet.  It's a tough   
   decision.   
      
   I couldn't devine the dog's comfort level, and I am confident the owner is   
   trying to enable his locomotion in a way that does not cause pain.  I have   
   only shared my [53 years of] life with a couple of dogs thus far, but I was   
   always moved by their fierce loyalty and willingness to please.  The   
   relationship of a human and his / her dog is a private matter.   
      
   So, as the little Gorgi plodded along, I hoped he was as pain-free as   
   possible.  Who knows-?  He may be as contented as his able-bodied companion.   
   I hope so.   
      
   Thanks for the input.
