Tucker Budzyn’s owner, Courtney Budzyn, has chosen to share how the beloved golden retriever internet star spent his last days, and despite the heartbreak of his cancer diagnosis, his last days were filler with all of his favorite activities.

“We went to the park several times, and he peed on every single tree he could,” she said. “He went swimming a couple times, and his first jump in the pool both times were so powerful and strong.”

Tucker also had some wrestles with his adopted “son,” Todd, in their backyard, rolled around in the grass, felt the breeze on his fur, and ate chicken morning and night.
What led to Tucker’s sudden decline
Just under a week before his death, Courtney had shared that Tucker was diagnosed with cancer.
At first it seemed Tucker was responding well to treatment. But things took a quick turn when the treatment left a hole where the cancer had been, and an infection set in almost overnight.

Courtney says Tucker saved her life
Courtney described just how deep her connection with Tucker ran, saying there was nothing in the world she wouldn’t have done for him.

“He was literally part of me,” she said. “He was part of my soul. It feels like I lost a body part.”
