With help from his social media followers, a terminally ill senior dog named Theo recently started checking adventures off of his bucket list. He received the surprise of a lifetime when he reunited with a young man who, as a little boy, was the canine’s best friend.
The boy recognized his once-beloved canine companion when he went viral and appeared on television. And his new guardians, the Leech family, arranged for them to meet one last time. Theo recognized his old friend, giving the young man much-needed closure.

Lady Freethinker reported on Theo’s adventures in August when the Leech family started his ‘bucket list,’ sharing his outings on Facebook. Scores of social media users chimed in with their own bucket list ideas.
Since August, Theo has made several more great memories. He played with a pony dressed as a unicorn, celebrated a birthday party, met an Elvis impersonator, and hung out with his pals near the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine. The Roaring Table Brewing Co. even named a beer after him called Theo’s Octopus, and he was sworn in as an honorary police K-9 with the Crystal Lake Police Department.

Theo’s current family understands that as his condition progresses, Theo may have to be put to sleep. But for now, this senior dog is living his life to the fullest.
What’s New…
God Bless you Theo !!
Agree,
Enjoy every moment Theo. I’m so glad that you weee reunited with an old friend.
Theo must be a very lucky pooch to get all the fun activities arranged by every one who loved him. He truly deserve to be treated as such. To know that every one around him truly cared and loved dearly must be a real Blessing to him. May you be well & happy no matter where you will be, now or later….is my earnest prayer for you…
How lovely. Enjoy every moment Theo ♥
Thank you for giving Theo such a wonderful opportunity to enjoy life. Your love for him is obviously unconditional and he has to feel so loved. You are the best dog parents any dog could hope for. Bless you!
Such sweet story of love, compassion and dedication.

That is so heart-warming. Thank you for cherishing the dog named Theo.
Why not try and save Theo with CBD oil, there are many examples of how beneficial this natural and harmless medicine is for animals on youtube? Failing that move on to full spectrum cannabis oil (with THC), again much info on youtube and the web. People have used this as a treatment for dogs with cancer and had amazing results.
Good luck Theo, tons of love and hugs!
