The Last Battle The author of this great poem is unknown. I think so much of this poem that I’ve printed them on cards and give one to every client. It very accurately expresses how our pets must feel when they know their time has come and they really need for us to make that hard decision to let them go. I hope it is of comfort to you – because making this decision is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. God Bless. ~ Dr. Humphries
