Terminally ill dog needs help to complete last item on heartbreaking bucket list
Finn the golden retriever was diagnosed with a deadly cancer in May - and his family want to make his last days amazing
Losing a family pet is completely heartbreaking, especially when they've been part of your life for so long.
When Finn the golden retriever was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in May, his family decided to do something special to make his last days on earth brighter - and made a doggie bucket list.
Cynthia and Robert Peterson, who live in Burlington, Vermont, wanted to treasure his last days as part of their family.
The family said to Stitch that the idea is to "make him comfortable, make him happy. Spoil him a little bit".
They said the list includes "everything that he would want to do that's like a fun dog activity".
Finn has already completed over half of the activities on his bucket list and there are an exciting mixture of things he's set to do.
Some of them are fairly regular dog activities like going for a hike, playing fetch, having a steak dinner, making a new friend and walking along the beach,
There's also some more unusual activities like taking a hot air balloon ride, becoming a therapy dog, going apple picking and having a song written about him.
And the family have appealed for help with his final bucket list activity.
People on social media have found the sweet idea by Finn's family heartwarming.
One person commented on Stitch's video: "A solid reminder that life isn't a dress rehearsal.
"An animal is so often more than a pet, the unconditional bond and love they provide us is a reward in itself. But this couple illustrate their own love back for Finn tenfold.
Another person said that they "love everything about this".
The family said that they think Finn has inspired others to live "more authentically".
Finn's final bucket list activity that the family say they'll need help with is to have a children's book written about him. Cynthia and Robert are raising money for the book on their Go Fund Me page.
