I agree completely.

The owners said at the outset that they would continue to treat him aggressively as long as they were able to manage his pain and quality of life (relative to the injury). I give them credit for considering more than his monetary value in their decision making. (Including at the outset when it would have been more "valuable" to euthanize him right away and collect the insurance.)

I'm still bummed.
