In Wonder we just read how Auggie's dog, Darth Daisy, was "put down". People "put down" pets because they are sick and to save them from suffering. As we were reading we started a discussion about whether that is right or wrong. What do you think, is it right or wrong to "put down" a pet? Do you think the Pullmans made the right decision? Support your opinion with reasons. Write your thoughts in the comment section and feel free to respectively comment on a peer's comment.

These are all good comments boys and girls and I am glad you enjoy our book and it's characters so much! But remember, when we respond with our thoughts or connect to a classmates comment, lets always try to use our Evidence based statements. For example, "I disagree with the families decision because...." OR "My opinion is that it was correct to put her down because....".

I almost felt like crying about Daisy's death because she was an amazing dog to August's family.

I think it was heart breaking for her to pass away but I feel happy because she did not have to suffer anymore and she is certainly in a much better place.

It was very sad and I thought daisy should have a point of view. I always WONDER how a dog thought, but she was very old and we all die so I not sad because she didn't suffer.

I think is better to put down Daisy because Auggie would more sad if he see the dog passing out than hear that he died.

I agree with you all, that it would be unfair for Daisy to suffer, but is it right to "put her down." What if Daisy was a person, would we be thinking the same thing? Would it be ok to kill someone who is sick so that they don't suffer? Do we get to make those kinds of decisions for them?

I really didn’t feel like crying when Daisy died because I already knew it was going to happen. I think Wonder is just a book, and I don’t see why people were sad.

Answer to Ms.Toledo's question: We don't get to choose to put them down because then that will be unfair for the person although they are feeling sick and they have to suffer.
