Losing a pet suddenly can be quite a heartbreak for many. Probably that is why Ellie Buckler tried her best to make the last day of her dog, Baxter, memorable. She shared videos of her spending all day with her dog on TikTok, treating him with all his favorites and lots of cuddles. Baxter's special day started with a sleepover with his stepdad outside. The next day, his morning began with a breakfast treat: a McDonald's McMuffin of his own. Earlier, Baxter could only get a piece from Ellie's share as he was not allowed to have one. Ellie said that he used to drool so much, "That's why I got him one and let him have the whole thing."

On Baxter's last day, she spent most of the day "lying outside with him cuddling him." Baxter was having a hard time moving and was very sleepy. They also went on a short walk to get him some ham as treat from the nearby grocery store. It was a little tradition between them. Ellie told Newsweek, "When I used to come in I'd go to the fridge and eat the odd slice of ham straight out the packet but I would always give Baxter a piece too, so it got to the point where he was so used to it he would literally wait at the fridge for me." Baxter was also spoiled by Buckler's brothers the whole day. His final treat was a piece of chocolate. Ellie said that she recalled a sign she saw at her vet which said, "no dog should pass without trying chocolate." The video can be seen here.
