Kindhearted individuals can get animals out of the toughest situations, but sometimes those individuals just have to be there for them during those tough situations. One such story is the case with pet rescuer Janine Guido and the dog she stayed with through the night.

Janine Guido is the founder of Speranza Animal Rescue in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. When Janine met Watson, she had the hope that he could live, but with time, she found out that this small creature was ready to rest and did not have the power to live anymore.

Watson was found by a college student in Philadelphia park according to The Dodo. He was in a bad condition with sores all over his emaciated body. The emergency vet of the community helped out for many days, but the tumor on the back of the dog's leg had spread. The only thing to do was to stay with him during his final hours.

Guido brought Watson to the rescue facility. Besides the comfortable environment, food, and water, Guido made sure that Watson had company for his last hours. Guido used dog beds and blankets laid out together to make herself a bed next to Watson. She spent the hours of the night petting Watson softly and speaking to him, and also documented the evening on Facebook. Watson seemed to enjoy what probably was his first and last night with a human who loved him.

In the morning after, Watson would not have any food or drink. He just paced. At 10:28 AM he passed away in Guido's arms. No one is sure whether or not Watson ever experienced such kindness, but at least Guido felt good about being with him in the last moments of his life.

This case is proof of why so many rescue workers experience something known as compassion fatigue. They are always ready to help the needing animals that they are ready to sacrifice their own comfort and time for.
