All things serve the Beam
It depends.
If the chances of recovery were slim, and/or the cost completely prohibitive, I would euthanize the dog. For example, if the vet said, "Your dog has cancer. The treatment will cost $10,000 and there is less than a 50% chance he will make it", I would euthanize him.
Over the course of my adult life, though, I have spent untold thousands of dollars on vet care for animals.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
