“Unique request. Does anyone have a shaved ice machine they have put away for the season? Our sweet dog is passing of cancer and on Monday we want to build her one last snow bank to roll in.” Gorgeous Maggie was a die-hard snow lover and her parents accompanied their post with photos of the dog in the snow.
They did everything to make Maggie’s last hours enjoyable
The message was terribly heartbreaking...Maggie is a sweet and beautiful dog who, sadly, is suffering from cancer. Her parents found out she would be euthanized in just a matter of days. Maggie loves the snow so much, and for this reason, her parents decided to let her play in the snow one last time.
They posted a Facebook post that caught the attention of Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation. The team mobilised to make artificial snow and delivered it as agreed on the morning of Maggie's last day.
An unforgettable moment together
Elijah posted the photos of the special snowy moment. In the middle of the snow, a poignant sign reads "Maggie's snow". This island of snow is a real paradise on earth for the gorgeous dog.
Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation Company posted a condolence message to Maggie's family on Facebook.
We are both sad for Maggie's parents and happy that the beautiful female dog got to taste one of her greatest pleasures in life for the last time.
RIP Maggie.
