(CBS)–A family dog will live out the rest of his days with a happy stomach thanks to Burger King.
One of the fast-food chain’s restaurants in Toledo, Ohio, is treating 10-year-old Cody, a Boxer-Lab mix who has terminal cancer, to his favorite snack — cheeseburgers — for free.
“My family and I were heartbroken over the news, but we decided we wanted to try and make the last part of his life the best we could,” he wrote. “Everyday since we found out, we’ve gotten him a plain cheeseburger to eat with his many medications to make it easier and more enjoyable for him.”
Then on Sunday, when Karcher visited a Burger King on Alexis Road to get Cody’s burger, an employee politely asked why he was getting a plain burger — and he told her why. The Burger King employee left to speak with her manager, who said Cody could eat cheeseburgers for free at their location, according to Karcher.
“I can’t explain how much that means to us, and my family and I are beyond appreciative,” Karcher wrote, adding the employees at the location are “the best around.”

*ping of interest*
If he’s terminally ill, he should get all the Hershey’s kisses he can eat.
This is cool. Dogs are better than most people I know.
Peanut M&M’s...
Feel Good Story of the day!
If the dog is gonna die, BK just accelerated it with more cheeseburgers. Why not give Cody loose lady dogs to “play” around with in his last days ;)
"...cheeseburgers..."
Too much chocolate in a dog can cause seizures.
It’s not a cheeseburger if it’s plain. Perhaps it sounds better for titles though.
That’s why I’d only give it to a terminally ill dog. Dog’s really like chocolate, but can’t normally have it.
....if it’s something that Cody could look forward to everyday with taking his meds....why not? Enjoy Cody!
Amen! So are cats.
Great to hear! I love dogs more than I do most humans.
Always thought cats were triangular face demons that suck the breath out of small children. Just kidding :)
Good grief, just put the dog down. Why make it suffer? It’s not human. People these days over-anthropomorphize dogs and cats.
Ugh. I got a little black lab puppy a year and a half ago. I’m already dreading the day hopefully many years from now..... dogs are better than a lot of people.
Was the first time we let the toy poodle puppy go loose outside, in a specially fenced area for dogs. picture
They’re not?!?!?!?
meat, cheese, bun.
pretty plain.
Have you ever had a pet?
