Man Adopts Dog With Tumor So He Can Live Out The Rest Of His Life Knowing ‘Unconditional Love’
Luciano Karosas, from Berazategui in Buenos Aires, is quite possibly one of the kindest people you will ever meet. You see, Luciano knowingly adopted a dog who only had a few weeks left to live after the sick animal had already been rejected by four other families.
Thanos the dog, who had previously been called Coconut, had a cancerous tumor growing on his head. The tumor was aggressive, and Thanos only had a matter of weeks to live when Luciano took him in.
The sweet pup had sadly been given up by his family when caring for him and his illness became too much for them.
Several families attempted to take him in, but they too found themselves unable to handle the extent of his condition and all that it entailed. So, Thanos ended up back at an animal shelter, where he met Luciano.
When 21-year-old Luciano met Thanos at the shelter, he was touched by his story and immediately wanted to take him home to fill his last days with unconditional love. "I came out with a piece of my heart in my hand," he said.
However, Luciano refused to accept that there was absolutely nothing he could do to save Thanos. So, he took him to the vet to see if they could operate.
"I found it hard to adapt to the idea of how little time we would spend together. I took him to a stem cell veterinarian to see what we could do, looking for a little more hope (which had given him 40 days to live) and was told that there was no treatment that could extend that time," Luciano said.
Having to come to terms with the sad news that there was nothing he could do to save Thanos, Luciano vowed to make the most of the time he had left with him.
He pampered Thanos and did everything he could to make him comfortable and happy.
Sadly, Thanos passed away earlier this year, with Luciano wishing him a 'good trip' and writing on social media, ‘I will love you forever.’
Rest in peace, Thanos!
