You did the right thing, if you're looking for someone who'll beat you up, I agree with Badger, you won't find it here.

It's hard having your pet put down. you always have doubts as to what more you could have done. You were with him until the end, and i'm sure that meant more to him than anything in this world. He wouldn't want you beating yourself up.

Our pets look to us to release them from their pain. If the vet said nothing more could be done and your dog was in pain, then it would have been selfish to keep him alive.

Take the time to mourn. Losing a beloved pet is very hard. If everyone cared about their animals like you cared, the shelters wouldn't be full of abandoned pets. Buster was very lucky to have such a caring owner.
