Not if Husband was carrying the dog as LW says in the letter.
But this was presumably not the first time the dog had been carried outside for a walk. The dog flinched at something - and it could be anything. His last few months, Finn flinched every time we walked into or out of a shadow. It's why I stopped taking him on walks at all and only brought him out to the backyard.
68 percent of elderly dogs have dementia, and in a lot of them that dementia is accompanied by fearfulness and anxiety. If the dog is sixteen years old, and has sharply declining mobility (hence the carrying), and is flinching at shadows, time is running out. They were going to have to make that call sooner or later, probably sooner.
