Dying dog taken on bucket list adventure

New York City, NY (ABC) — Following a terminal diagnosis, Poh, a mixed-breed dog from New York City, has been living his dying days traveling the nation with his owner, crossing off many desirable destinations from their bucket list.

“It was a great trip,” owner Thomas Neil Rodriguez told ABC News. “I got to spend seven weeks with Poh. At first, I did not think he’d make it two weeks, but he did.”

Rodriguez said he adopted Poh from an animal shelter back in December 1999, when he was eight weeks old.

The 15-year-old dog has been diagnosed with several health problems, in which veterinarians have concluded that he will not live much longer.

“I would say sometime in February he started to get sicker,” Rodriguez said. “I travel quite a bit but we came back from one trip and he was doing really bad.

“I’m unsure of how long [he will live]. Doctors are unsure. My assumption is that I don’t have very long with him and that’s what prompted the trips.”

Beginning March 6, Rodriguez, his fiance, and Poh drove cross country, visiting 35 cities, and traveling around 12,000 miles, he said.
