The Human-Animal Connection 49 Loving the End of Life

After being a nurse for thirty years, Karen Thomas followed her childhood dream of creating a sanctuary for dogs with terminal illness. Her goal was to create “the best last days of their lives.” And, since she was an energy healer, and animal communicator, she was able to ask the dog, “What do you want to do today?” Their answers always surprised her and will inspire you. One dog asked for a ride in a golf cart, through the neighborhood, meeting friends and getting a pupsickle. Giving this dog the best day of his life was transformative for her and for the dog.

Karen created her non-profit, Payton’s Promise, named after the first dog she took into her sanctuary. Since then, she has healed many dogs by helping them to way outlive their prognosis. For other dogs, whose time had come, she helped them to have the most peaceful transition possible, bringing dignity and sacredness to the process of dying. This is a serious subject, but the stories will bring you joy and fill your heart with the hope of a transformation in how we manage and relate to our beloved canine’s last days, weeks, and longer.
