The Roberts family knew they had to put their beloved dog, Duke, to sleep after cancer ravaged his body. And so, they decided to make his final day on Earth his most special.
His owner, Jordan Roberts, scheduled his euthanising with a US, Houston veterinarian for Monday, July 7, according to this site, http://www.robynarouty.com/i-died-today/ - they took the pics.
Before saying goodbye to Duke, the family wanted to take him out to enjoy special things Roberts asked her friend and animal lover, photographer Robyn Arouty, to capture the dog's final moments. Here is a tribute video, with photos below:
