Yep! Me too. Comes from having one or two of my own dogs put to sleep in the past. I loved the bit, too, where they were all reminiscing about his life.
Still, I'm please Wellard had a dignified death and wasn't squashed by a car or something.
Perhaps they should plant a tree in his memory in the square.
I shouldnt have seen it ,it was so sad. It bought back so many memories of when my first dog had to be put to sleep. And reminded me that one day it is going to happen again. My dogs are now 11 and 9. I dread the thought of it.
I knew it was coming, and I was ok till Kyte (Wellard) closed her eyes. That was it, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Best bit of acting ever on EE. Must be worth a gong.
I believe that due to ill health, the dog had be put to sleep in real life to. Very moving scenes. I wonder how many of the tears shed by the actors were genuine. After all Patsy & Sid had known the dog for a while.
I;m crying my eyes out right now watching it!!
Recorded it last night n was unsure about putting it on, but I did and now I'm crying & sniffing like a fool!
Yes we know it was a soap, but for people who love their dogs and have probably been through it themselves it brings it all back. Good thing about it is that Wellard actually got ill from Bianca giving him chocolate, so hopefully the message will get across to people not to give it to their dogs.
