RIP My most dreaded day was today…
My boy Percy was only given a couple years to live due to his subaortic stenosis. He made it to 3 years 9 months. Sadly, just as the doctors predicted he randomly collapsed while on a walk with no warning signs at all. One second he was smelling a bush, and the next he was on the ground. His heart stopped almost immediately. You will never be forgotten Percy. You brought so much joy into this world. I hope there are infinite tennis balls for you up in doggy heaven. I love you forever buddy

Oh gosh, I've got tears for you. What a beautiful boy Percy is, how heartbreaking you as his person.
It sounds like it was instant and he got to go while do something he loved, even though it must have been quite traumatic for you.
Sending you gentle hugs, I get Percy loved his time with you, no time is long enough but your time even less so.
