Last minutes with his best friend
Last minutes with his best friend
Have you ever judged someone when he sacrifices his dog? Or even considered what he must have felt at the time before doing it?
Jason Wood tells us all about his experience. The video shows the last minutes he spends with his dog, Oden, who's struggle with cancer finally comes to an end. He talks all through the video describing his thoughts and what he feels.
One of the most powerful ways in which he describes Oden is saying how he stayed by his side all through his suffering, how he did everything for him, he says that what was sick about him was that he was about helping everyone . One of the most impressing things he says is that 'I don't think I showed him how to love, I think he showed me how to love'.
This man has some kind of religious belief and he mentions God saying that he is love, and that to him, that dog was God. He describes how the feelings he had were like childish fears because he really doesn't want him to go, he realises he's a 'soft dude' though he wants to be the tough guy that can put his dog dow. He says that Oden had done his job in life and that it was time to go for him because he didn't want to stay there.
Jason is talking all throughout the video as a documentary in an informal way because he wants to open to people and let them know what it feels like. We can see scenes of him riding a bike before and after Oden's death, and we can see he is meditating (I say he is because he's like out of this world) about all the process, about what his dog means to him. Also, all scence where the dog is seen and when his death is shown, how Jason reacts to it, makes it much more realistic.
In my opinion I don't think no one really knows what he feels like, specially and understandably those who haven't had a dog in their life, unless you have lived the experience. We don't realise the importance they can have for certain people and because of that sometimes really though decisions have to be made, like sacrifice.
This is an amazingly moving and beautiful video, which I think can open everyone's mind and heart. Seriously, it is worth watching.
Here are some quotes that may invite you to watch it:
''He was there the whole way through with me, from the beggining to end, and there he was lying next to me as if it was another day.''
''He was so loyal, so down for the guys I loved.''
''I'm like I'm gonna miss you, don't go...don't go.''
''I may sound crazy but he had like some irreversable job, like god gave him a job to do here and take care of people.''
So, what do you think about this video? Has it made some kind of impact on you? What do you think about the love a dog can give you?

This is a very fulgurous video because of the sentimental situations Jason Wood is going through. Its really an amazing video that immediately captures you´re attention because of the feelings that are expressed and how Jason Wood is going through a horrendous situation. I will like to think that know; in this moments he is having a good life even though, Oden(his dog) would ever be on his mind.
ReplyDeleteAnother important point I want to add is the feelings of Jason towards his dog. The relationship they have is like if their where best friends and this is reflected when Jason says ''he was so loyal, so down for the guys I loved.'' He is expressing his feelings that are very painful. Also, Jason says at the end of the video ''I'm like I'm gonna miss you, don't go...don't go.'' This maked me feel so wicked, but I can´t know perfectly what his feelings are because this hasn´t accured me, but i give all my support to him because its obvious he is having horrific moments.
In concluion, Jason expresses his awful feelings in this video because he is loosing a special frind. Personally, this video has captures my attention and has made me think about terrible moments in life. I belive that Jason, knowadays is having a woderful life.

It's a very special video. I can understand (a little) how he feels because I grew up with a dog. He was only a year older than me and when I was very young we used to run around through the woods near my house, playing together. I remember one time when my parents called us to leave and we both raced each other across the field to reach them first... it was so close that we arrived at the same time and collided. In fact, when I was a baby/toddler, I'd sometimes crawl or scramble over to the dog and nestle together, with it licking my toes! The amazing thing about dogs is their belief in you and their unconditional love and trust.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by this video. It's incredibly deep and it has certainly had an impact on me.
ReplyDeleteI've never lived any dog of mine's death, though I have gone through the parting of my grandparents' dog, which was really like my own, and it was very difficult.
I can imagine, through friends' experiences and also through this video, how hard it must be to lose the one who is like another member of the family. I empathize very much with this man, I can understand how he feels and the painful moment he must be going through. It's nothing else but the death of his most loyal friend.
A dog will never let you down, and will always show you his happiness when you get home, wagging his tail. He will always appreciate your presence, miss you when you're not there and "ask" for forgiveness when he knows he's done something wrong. He will take in all of your moods, either good or bad, and ask nothing in return but love.
