Burger King Makes A Dog’s Last Days Special | US

The Toledo local branch of Burger King has offered to provide free burgers to a ill dog till his last days.

A 10-year-old boxer-labrador cross named Cody suffering from a form of bone cancer has been given one to three months to live by his vet.

“The vet told us to take him home until things worsened, and we decided we wanted to make the last stretch of his life as good as possible,” said Cody’s owner Alec Karcher, 22, from Toledo, Ohio.

“For the last two months, we’ve been getting Cody daily cheeseburgers from either our own kitchen or some fast food restaurant [plain because the condiments aren’t very good for them]. It’s been a way for us to show our love and appreciation for him being such a good dog over the years, and it helps him take his medicine every night.”

When Cody’s owner on visited Burger King to pick up Cody’s daily burger, his family member Bill Campbell had an encounter with an employee.

“The woman working at the time kindly joked about him ordering a plain cheeseburger, and he told her Cody’s story,” said Alec.

“She immediately went to talk to her manager, and after a few minutes she came back and told him that the burgers for Cody would be free at their location until he passed.”

Alec was so touched when bill shared what had happened at the Toledo branch, he decided to share the story on Twitter, to which Burger King responded.
