This actually happened to me while doing Collie rescue. When we picked up this old guy, we took him straight to the vet only to find out he was riddled with cancer. Although we were pretty full up and didn't have room for another dog, let alone one who we could not place, we chose to keep him.

He went home with my partner who gave him a warm soft bed, good meals and a lot of attention for a couple weeks. Roger, as we called him, had a great, comfy last few weeks of his life. He knew what it was to be loved for a short time. Then we took him back to the vet before he started really showing signs of pain, and while we both loved on him and kissed him, he went to sleep.

Even if it is only for a couple of days, I believe that every good dog deserves even a small amount of comfort and love in their last days.
