Shelia Stadler, 68, from Terre Haute, Indiana, died of cancer with her five-year-old guide dog Toffee by her side last month.
A few days later later her son Andy had the healthy dog put down so it could placed in Mrs Stadler's coffin to fulfil her dying wish.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3657573&forum_id=2#33637807)
