AW! When this man finds out his dog is dying, he takes her on an EPIC road trip

 

 

Aw, we can't cope!

 

If they made this into a film, we just know it would be Marley and Me all over again, with us on the floor sobbing, as our partners try to drag us out of the cinema.

 

Get ready: in probably one of the sweetest, most heart-warming stories we’ve ever come across, a man is bringing his best friend Bella on a farewell trip around the world after discovering she’s got cancer.

 

BUT Bella is in fact Robert Kugler’s beautiful nine-year old Labrador, who he adopted as a puppy.

 

To honour Bella, Robert has embarked on a road trip all over the USA so she can live out her last days a happy dog.

 

“She teaches me lessons every day, and I am so blessed to spend my time with her,” Robert told Upworthy.

 

 

This is #HandsomeRussell again. His human took this picture with us kayaking in the background. Russell isn't much for the water, but yet he insisted on walking along the sea wall to keep an eye on us. I think...he may have a thing for Ms. Bella. I would approve, he has been proving to be quite the gentleman. #hesakeeper #gentlegiant #noble #loyal #russeldog #labrador

And amazingly, Bella was given only six months to live. That was 14 months ago.

 

SHARE if you think this is the sweetest thing!
