A loving dog owner hit the headlines after taking his dying dog on one final trip to his favorite spot.
57-year-old Carlos Fresco and 10-year-old Monty the Labradoodle were inseparable ever since the adorable pooch joined the family.
For years, Carlos enjoyed hiking together with his companion and Monty loved nothing more than exploring nearby hills and mountains.
Sadly, things took a bitter turn when Carlos found out that Monty’s cancer returned after the pooch had gotten weaker.
Determined to take his furry friend on one final trip to his favorite mountain, Carlos had to find a way to get the frail dog to the peak without making it suffer.
And so, Carlos loaded Monty into a wheelbarrow and pushed him all the way to the top of the mountain. He also made sure the pooch was feeling comfortable during the trip by wrapping him in warm blankets and bringing his favorite toy on the trip.
While the 57-year-old admitted Monty was feeling tired throughout the trip, he believes he really enjoyed it and found comfort in kind wishes from strangers he met while hiking.
“People on the hills were so kind and equally so sad at his deteriorating condition. In fact total strangers asked if they could share in pushing Monty on his last journey – many total strangers shed a tear as we all love dearly our little four-legged friends,” Carlos said.
“I would like very much to thank them all for their support, encouragement and genuine concern over Monty.
“That little guy touched so many lives. Made everyone he came into contact with smile and just take a moment to reflect how sometimes life’s not that bad.”
Shortly after his last trip, Monty passed away.
