Woman Quits Job To Help Terminally Ill Dog Fulfill ‘Bucket List’

Marshall abandoned her dog-walking job in Reading, the UK to care for Sasha full-time since she is at her most vulnerable.

She said: "I've always struggled with my mental health - I was running a business which made me struggle mentally and Sasha's health was getting increasingly worse.”

"I was finding it so hard to juggle the two, so I closed my business and decided to work on myself and give her the time she needs, and then the bucket list popped into my head.”

She added: "Even though she’s always had her health battles - one of which being a degenerative condition which affects her hind legs - Sasha has always been my rock through my battles."

I’m not crying, you are!

After Sasha was diagnosed with dementia or canine cognitive impairment, which left her befuddled, Marshall's bucket list came true. She was also suffering from a severe case of separation anxiety.

But, instead of wallowing in misery, her devoted owner devised a bucket list for the labrador.

They've already done things like go to the beach, eat ice cream from an ice cream truck, attend a dog show, eat a lavish steak dinner, and celebrate her birthday and sleepover with her other dog friends.

Sasha has also met Santa, visited a zoo, a nursing home, Blenheim Palace, and London's Kings Road, and had a stunning doggie photo shoot with a professional photographer to get her smize on.

Marshall is keen to tick off every task, including seeing Windsor Castle, visiting the butchers, and visiting a nursery or school to meet the kids, even though the adorable doggo is coming towards the end of her days.

Marshall added: "I know losing her is going to be a big struggle for me so it kind of gives me a feeling that we did everything I could. I know she was so happy."
