Dog owner takes terminally-ill mastiff on 'bucket list' trip of treats after discovering pet has bone cancer
New Yorker Lauren, who is originally from Tennessee, was devastated when she found out Gizelle only had months to live
When Lauren Watt's dog Gizelle developed terminal bone cancer, she was determined her beloved canine companion would go out on a high.
Lauren, 25, devised a 'bucket list' to complete alongside her loyal 160lb English mastiff - mostly involving long naps, road trips and fine food.
New Yorker Lauren, who is originally from Tennessee, was devastated when she found out Gizelle only had months to live.
Lauren told Yahoo travel: 'I was crushed. Together Gizelle and I had been through college, boyfriends, our early 20s, and a move from simple Tennessee to big and scary New York City.
'This dog wasn’t just my best friend — she was my roommate and confidant. What does the vet mean she only has a few months left?'
Lauren decided rather than breaking down, she would be strong and decided to create a bucket-list of adventures to do together before she died.
Lauren said: 'It was my mission for us to indulge and explore life’s joys. We’d escape the city and search for waterfalls, cook lobster, and nap in the grass.
'We’d jump in the ocean without towels, just to enjoy the sun drying us, and never stress about details like sand in the car.'
'Doing a bucket list for Gizelle not only helped me cope with losing her, it was also one wild ride.
'It helped me live in the present and see life for what it truly is: a sweet, simple, precious adventure. So paw in hand, we packed our bags and set off. Here are some of our favorite adventures.'
