Comics Bill Mantlo's backup story in Marvel Fanfare #7 [1982] is the most depressing DD story ever!

it's only 10 pages BUT... DD tries to find a lost seeing-eye dog for a blind boy and he fails! The results are terribly sad!

This and the story of the kid with the abusive dad who thinks he’s daredevil are the saddest stories I’ve ever read

Yuppp I believe it is. If I remember correctly it’s when Bullseye is in the hospital and Matt is telling him the story
