Heartwarming Pictures Of A Man Taking His Dying Dog On One Last Trek Up Their Favorite Mountain
Dogs really are our best buddies, and this touching story shows it perfectly. When a loving owner found out that his dog's days were numbered, he decided to give his four-legged friend one last big adventure.
They had shared plenty of hikes together, demonstrating their tight bond and love for the great outdoors. So, the owner decided to take his sick dog on one last hike on their favorite trail.
The heartwarming pictures show 57-year-old Carlos Fresco from London using a wheelbarrow to take his cherished pet dog, Monty, on their last trip up his favorite mountain.
Monty, a 10-year-old dog, had been Carlos's partner in crime on numerous walks and hikes all over the country. They had many trips to the top of Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Thus, this final journey was a nod to their shared love of hiking and an example of the great bond between a pet and its owner.
Upon realizing that Monty, the Labradoodle, was not in good health, Carlos chose to take him on one final trip to the Brecon Beacons, using a wheelbarrow to assist with Monty’s mobility. Carlos knew that Monty’s cancer had returned and that his condition was rapidly deteriorating. Sadly, Monty passed away on June 21st after a courageous 18-month fight against leukemia.

Despite being notably frail during the journey, Monty took delight in the affection and attention showered upon him by everyone they encountered!
“People on the hills were so kind and equally sad at his deteriorating condition,” Carlos said. “In fact, total strangers asked if they could share in pushing Monty on his last journey – many total strangers shed a tear, as we all dearly love our little four-legged friends.
I would like to thank them all for their support, encouragement, and genuine concern over Monty. That little guy touched so many lives. He made everyone he came into contact with smile.”
