action
The boy Danny suffers from the death of his mother. Although he needs his father's assistance, he is too caught up in his own grief. He assures Danny that death was peaceful and that the mother did not suffer. Father and son have a dog, Jake. Danny finds the old dog powerless in front of the door one day. During the night Jake's condition worsens and he shivers and suffers. The father puts him on a pillow and calls the vet. Although he points out that it is an emergency, the vet cannot come. The father then suffocates Jake with a pillow to relieve him of his suffering. He doesn't notice that Danny is standing in the door and watching everything. The next morning the father explains to his son that the dog died peacefully and did not suffer. The son asks the father “Like mom?” And the father remains motionless.
