Sarah Silverman Wrote a Heartbreaking Obituary for Her Dog
In the immortal words of Louis C.K., bringing home a puppy is a "countdown to sorrow."
Chances are you're going to outlive your pet, and when you do, you're going to cry.
Of course, that has yet to stop anyone from actually getting a dog, but when the inevitable happens it's still very sad.
C.K.'s fellow comedian Sarah Silverman had 14 long years with her pet dog Duck, who was already 5-1/2 years old when she found him in a no-kill shelter in Van Nuys.
Duck passed away this week at the age of 19, and though his health had weakened over the years, he remains a happy dog, and was very much loved by Silverman.

He was blind and partially deaf by the end, but what forced their hand was when he lost his balance and couldn't walk anymore. After that it was only a couple days till they had the vet make a house call.
