A Loving Goodbye
Mellow, a rescue dog who has been a loyal companion for seven years, has become a beloved figure in his community.
This good boy has been diagnosed with a terminal cancer, and he doesn’t have much time left.
“He has lymphoma B-cell. Ultimately, either later this month or early next month would be his last time with us,” said Kevin Curry, Mellow’s owner.
Upon learning of Mellow’s condition, Kevin decided to orchestrate a memorable farewell.
He crafted a heartfelt letter from Mellow to the neighbors, expressing gratitude and inviting them for one last meeting.
