A daughter and the family

My dog is sick. She's 14 years old, and she hasn't eaten one piece of bread in the past 17 days. For the last seven days, Bhuchu has to be carried: coz she doesn't have any strength to stand on her feet. She's on saline, and the doc diagnosed a liver infection. She is sleeping on my mom's lap, like she used to day when she was a month old and she didn't like dogs, but grew to love her like a daughter. Heck, she is the daughter in our house.
She has also not barked or even cried in the last 15 days.
My father wants to put her to sleep. I can't do that. My mother will not let that happen either.
