That's really tragic. You'd think they'd try and find a surrogate

I've heard of people feeding pets a vegetarian diet. In fact I once
shared a house with a couple that looked after a dog - neither of them
were vegetarian but the girl insisted that dry cereal food was all a
dog needed. The look of excitement it gave me every time I offered a
bit of sausage suggests otherwise...

Hmmm, this is a different situation. Praying probably has a better
prognosis than going to the doctor, on average. Although it depends
exactly what was wrong, there are some things that doctors improve
more than they make worse.
