If he is in pain, then it's the right thing to do, and is indeed the kindest thing you can do for him. I believe it's selfish to keep your pet alive because you cannot bear to see him go. Remember, he is at your mercy to do what's right for him. I think it's wonderful that we humans have the ability to end our dear pet friends' suffering...even if it's one of the hardest things we will ever have to do in our lives.
