Meet King. He is a sweet looking Pittie who doesn’t have long to live.

King has an inoperable tumor on his spine, which will soon spread to other areas of his body. Doctors estimate that this Pittie has only 3-5 months left to live. The tumor has already left his back legs paralyzed.

But he has a cool set of wheels and loving fosters, thanks to them, he’s going to have the best last few months that any dog could hope to have.

King’s fosters are not discouraged by their limited time together. They want him to feel happy and comfortable in his final months. They plan to spend the time building amazing experiences and memories together. They’ve created a bucket-list for King and are documenting it on his Facebook page.

Some of his must-do items include: eating ice cream, a beach trip, spending time in the park, eating fast food, a pack dog walk, eating a steak by himself, and throwing a party.

He’s already devoured ice cream.

And he kissed a cat – and he liked it.
