Massachusetts mayor takes dying dog on road trip

Did you happen to see the story of a Massachusetts mayor who took his dog Mura that has cancer on a road trip around the country.
  • Sure hope the dog is as excited about traveling as the owner apparently is. My personal experience is mixed. When my dogs reached the end of their lives, some of them couldn't wait to get in the truck and take a drive, others lost interest in doing anything out of their established routine. One thing they all had in common was they were more interested in having loving attention then they were in seeing the world's largest ball of twine.

    Having just last week had to end our rescues suffering she still wanted to go for that ride.

    I'm sure the mayor did it out of love and not for publicity cause the dog was SO into the traveling
