Mercy Killing is when a living person or animal is very ill and put it to death in a painless manner or choice to kill it. This could be applied to animals and humans because by having to die with being ill and having so much pain you would just die taking a medicine that put you to sleep and when you are asleep your body shuts down until you wake up but the medication doesn't wake you up. Like in the book the dog was described as an ancient dog to me ancient means that a time before the mayans or the roman empire because of the history. But when in the book they had put thong around the dogs head so it wouldn't see it and go behind it's head to shoot it was a bad act to me I didn't like the decision but it was for the best for the dog by just letting it smell bad and it could barley see.
