Burger King has been praised by animal lovers after providing a terminally ill dog with free burgers for the rest of the pooch’s life.
10-year-old Cody the Boxer-Labrador was diagnosed with cancer back in 2018. With just months to live, his family decided to treat the pooch to cheeseburgers on a daily basis to make it easier for the dog to consume his medicines.
“About two months ago, my 10 year old dog named Cody was diagnosed with cancer. He was given about 1-3 months to live depending on how fast the cancer spread,” 22-year-old owner Alec Karcher wrote in a touching post.
“My family and I were heartbroken by the news, but we decided we wanted to try and make the last part of his life the best we could. Every day since we found out, we’ve gotten him a plain cheeseburger to eat with his many medications to make it easier and more enjoyable for him.”
Fortunately, the family wasn’t the only one determined to ensure that Cody had a blast during his final days.
After the staff at a Burger King branch realized the family was buying burgers for their sick pooch, the manager decided to offer free cheeseburgers to Cody for the rest of his life.
“Today, when we stopped at Burger King to get his daily burger, one of the employees nicely asked why we were getting a plain cheeseburger, and we told her Cody’s story. She immediately asked us to wait a second after she gave us our food,” Alec added.
“A few minutes later, she returned after talking to her manager. She asked us for a name, and said that the rest of the cheeseburgers for Cody would be free at their location.
“I can’t explain how much that means to us, and my family and I are beyond appreciative. S/o to the employees at the Burger King on Alexis Rd in Toledo, OH for being the best around.”
