As the sky darkened, the people on the beach lessened.
"Fali, work's over." Robio patted Fali's shoulder. "Go relax."
Fali had heavy spirits. Others didn't know this, but when she was still a child, she'd come to this beach and had had an accident that had put her in danger. It had been Walter, the hero dog lifeguard, who'd saved her.
Every year after that, Fali would come visit Walter. Last year, she became Walter's companion. However, Walter had aged considerably by then. He could no longer run or swim so fast.
But to Fali, he was still her hero. She viewed him as her family.
Two months ago, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. For both humans and dogs, this was a fatal condition.
Seeing how Walter suffered, Fali felt even more pain. She'd tried many things, but she realized that both humans and dogs would become so weak and powerless in the face of cancer.
Some people thought that euthanasia was mercy. Others thought it was cruel.
