Girl Rescues Dying Dog And Then He Let’s Her Know It’s Time To Say ‘Goodbye’
We’ve all heard or seen stories about dogs on their way to the Rainbow Bridge. Each time they touch our hearts, it is in a different way. This is the story of Sophiane and Hippo.
Even though this homeless dog was too sick to save, Sophiane Nacer still wanted to give him the best ‘end of days’ she could. She resolved that Hippo, an old stray with tumors, would only sense love when he left this world.
“Even if it was just for a day,” Sophiane, the 19-year-old founder of Cayleb’s Kindred Senior Dog Rescue, told TODAY, Hippo would have the happiest last day of his life.
After a five-day wait, Sophiane adopted Hippo and took him home from the shelter. The skin on the unfortunate dog was itchy to touch. Sophiane was unsure whether Hippo could feel anything because he was in so much pain.
All her doubts evaporated as she saw his tail wag. The ailing dog was still optimistic. He FOUGHT to feel love and happiness before he left this world.
So Sophiane took Hippo to Starbucks and bought him a Puppuccino, a hidden menu item that dogs like that is basically a cup filled with delicious whipped cream.
The next day, Hippo was still upbeat, so Sophiane took him to a dog park for some playtime. He loved every minute of it! But then he remembered Sophiane.
The old dog, who was suffering yet hopeful, had a message for his new best friend… He was ready to depart. He was ecstatic to be able to spend time with Sophiane, but he was tired and in pain, and it was time to say goodbye.
Sophiane had a vet euthanasia specialist visit her home after the dog park. The vet specialist had prepared a stuffed roasted chicken for him. He was able to have his final meal with Sophiane as peacefully as possible before falling into a painless permanent sleep.
While this is a heartbreaking story in many ways, it is also quite inspiring. A dying dog who would otherwise have known only suffering was able to spend the rest of his little life feeling loved and wanted.
May all dogs leave this world feeling as loved as this one! Rest in peace, Hippo. You were a fantastic young man!

Remembering Bill Hayes, actor and long-time TV star
Bill Hayes, a pivotal figure of day-time television passed away at the age of 98.
Hayes was probably best known for his portrayal of Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives since 1970, appearing in over 2,100 episodes of the show. The role of the former con artist-turned-lounge singer became one of the longest-running characters in the show’s history.
Hayes was born in Harvey, Illinois, in 1925. Before becoming an actor, he started a career of a musician and a performer, reaching a Billboard chart-topping hit with The Ballad of Davy Crockett in 1955.
In 1953, Hayes had his Broadway debut in Me and Juliet and over the course of a decade he appeared in a number of productions.
By 1970, Hayes, a divorced father of five, was hoping to land a role closer to home when he joined the cast of Days of Our Lives, a decision that would define his career and endear him to millions of viewers.
It was on set that he met the great love of his life, actress Susan Seaforth, who played Julie Williams. Their on-screen chemistry translated into real life and the two tied the knot in 1974. They stayed together until Hayes’ passing.
Speaking of the instant connection they felt when they laid eyes on each other, Seaforth once said, “I’d seen enough to know that he was special.” Others could also see their unexplained connection. “We had a scene together shortly after meeting, and the head writer saw something going on between the two of us, just two people looking at each other, and he threw out the other plot lines he had for our characters,” she added.
Hayes and Seaforth Hayes were both honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards at the 2018 Daytime Emmys for their enduring contributions to television. The couple’s acceptance speech was heartfelt, with Bill expressing gratitude for the fans who considered them part of their own lives.
Honoring Hayes, a representative for the Peacock series told The Times in a statement, “It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved Bill Hayes. One of the longest running characters on ‘Days of our Lives,’ Bill originated the role of Doug Williams in 1970 and portrayed him continuously throughout his life. He and his wife, Susan Seaforth Hayes, remained the foundation of the Williams-Horton family spanning more than 50 years.”
“I have known Bill for most of my life and he embodied the heart and soul of ‘Days of Our Lives,’” executive producer Ken Corday said in a statement. “Although we are grieving and will miss him, Bill’s indelible legacy will live on in our hearts and the stories we tell, both on and off the screen.”
In addition to his iconic role on Days of Our Lives, Bill Hayes had other notable television appearances, including roles in Matlock and Frasier. During the 1950s and 60s, he featured in TV adaptations of popular musicals such as Kiss Me, Kate and Once Upon a Mattress. He also portrayed John Brooks in the 1958 TV movie Little Women.
The cause of Hayes’ death hasn’t been disclosed with the public.
Rest in peace, legend.
