The episode that touched me deeply was when Stan Zuray had to make the humane sacrifice of his friend, Wacko.
I have had a few dog friends over the years who have become I'll and found myself in the same heartbreaking decision corner. I am crying as I write this, for Stan, his loss of a good and loyal friend, Wacko and for the hard life of the dogs and yet I respect people like Stan who do the humane and last loving act for the dog. It is so heartbreaking and I could see how Stan was heartbroken, too. 
I really enjoy the show. But when Stan took Wacko for his last ride, it just broke me up. I had to change the channel.
Thank you for bringing this and other shows that depict the lifestyles of people living how they choose to us. It's enlightening and makes me feel like I live an undeserved pampered life although I am not rich.
May the eyes of God watch over everyone who lives in this harsh and sometimes unforgiving yet beautiful part of the world.
