It’s the paw print that really gets us (Picture: What_fun_that_was)

Losing a beloved pet is hard, however sometimes out of tragedy something beautiful can emerge.

One Canadian owner recently received a note from their vet after having their ten-year-old dog put down.

The touching tome contains a thoughtful poem – and even a paw print from their beloved deceased.

Reddit user ‘What_fun_that_was’ uploaded the image in the hope of helping others who have lost pets attain some sort of closure.

He said the poor pup had to be put down after the vet found a very aggressive and painful form of cancer.

Upon receiving the note, the dog’s owner said: ‘It was kind of a shock at first, but that paw print will be treasured.’
