Getting the news that a pet hasn’t long left to live is devastating for the owners.
All you can do is make the animal as comfortable as possible and spend as much time together as you can.
When Robert Kugler, from Nebraska, in the US, got the news last year that his nine-year-old dog Bella was dying of cancer, he decided to do something really special for her final days.
It was then that Robert decided to hit the road with Bella for one last holiday together.
The pair did one tour along the US east coast – what Robert called “the farewell tour”, as Bella hadn’t been given long to live. But she pulled through, and 16 months later is still fighting on.
So Robert and Bella decided to head back on the road, this time hitting up the American south, sleeping in his SUV and crashing with friends along the way.

Robert says he plans to keep on travelling with Bella, but is aware that plans could change any day.
“We’re trying to stay as fluid as possible, so not trying to set many plans in stone, but we are truly looking forward to continuing this amazing journey for as long as we can keep going,” he writes on his blog.

It seems the pair are inspiring love and happiness everywhere they go; friends have set up a GoFund me page for the two of them, and so far it has raised almost $7,000.
“I want to inspire people to get outside and live,” Robert said in a recent interview. “Love each other for who we are and make friends.”
Best of luck you two.
