Jenny and Scott discovered an elderly Golden Retriever abandoned and all alone in a Chicago supermarket car park and immediately took him to a local pet shelter.
But the couple was heartbroken to discover that the dog had terminal cancer. The vets predicted that the poor pup, now named Theo, only had weeks left to live.
Final weeks
Theo, who is believed to be around 12 years old, was moved to hospice care to get all the care he needed in his final weeks.
But the kind-hearted couple who had found him wanted to do more for him and ensure the dog's last few weeks were as happy as possible.
Bucket list
Jenny and Scott came up with the idea of creating a dog-friendly bucket list for Theo, which will allow him to have fun and be spoiled during his final weeks. So far, the pooch has been taken on a trip through a restaurant drive-through, enjoyed a hamburger and ice cream, and had fun paddling in a pool in the sunshine.
In a heartwarming clip shared online, Theo can be seen having great fun splashing around and enjoying his hamburger snack.
There are three more adventures on Theo’s bucket list for him to do. He can look forward to visiting a fire station, taking a boat ride, and having a play date with a canine friend.
