Woman gives beloved dog last few hours filled with lots of love

After speaking with a vet, the family decided it was best to let Baxter rest and give him one last day full of his favorite things, as a tribute to all the love he’s given them over the years.
Ellie wrote on her TikTok account:
He was taking a lot of painkillers and it wasn’t fair to see him in more pain, it would have been selfish of us to let him continue like this. The hardest decision of our lives, but the sweetest thing what we can do.

Once the family decided on a date, Ellie got stronger and planned a wish list to enjoy Baxter’s last 24 hours by her side, filled with treats and lots of love.
Ellie recalls she had only given him a small bite of burger in the past, so Baxter looked at her excitedly before chewing, the pair also walking slowly for a packet of ham which they then shared.

The young woman says:
He’s never eaten McDonald’s or chocolate before, for the past few months he’s only been able to eat dry food so we thought we’d let him eat all the good stuff.

Finally, Ellie gave her one last snack, offering her a piece of chocolate with a cup of tea. Late at night, the family took their beloved dog on his last car ride to sleep, and Ellie held him in her arms the entire time as he passed away peacefully.

Animal lovers have reacted fondly to Baxter’s video and have spoken with the family during this difficult time.
A sweet comment on his social media read:
I can say he had the best last day with you, also the best years.
