I think the point of sharing these stories is that as pet owners, we all make mistakes, accidents happen, and we all feel terrible when something goes wrong. None of us is alone in that.

Queen: That's the thing about dogs, though, they instinctively hide pain. They make it look like nothing is wrong if they possibly can, and sometimes we have no idea anything is wrong for quite a while. It's certainly not your fault a wasp stung your dog, but we always feel guilty because we're responsible for their lives. Not a fun feeling. You obviously did everything you could once you realized there was a problem. And I'm sure that once he healed, he was still running around playing with his buddy in the yard.
