A town in Ontario, Canada recently came together to make a loving dog owner’s final wish for her beloved canine to get to play in the snow one last time come true.

The town of Bancroft took to their official Facebook page to say that they received a message from the dog owner, who lives over  sixty miles away.

“She was looking for a spot for her dog to see snow one more time, as she is ‘on the last legs of life,'” the town explained in their post. “We let her know that there is snow in the area, and she got to driving right away. Two hours later she shared these pictures with us. They found snow at the Dungannon Recreation Centre. What a happy dog! Glad we could help!”

Just two hours later, the dog owner Jodie Mercer was sharing photos to social media showing her beloved dog Mairead gleefully making snow angels.

Mercer later thanked the town for their generosity in helping make her dog’s final wish a reality.

“Thank you to everyone for your beautiful comments. Mairead (pictured above) is 12-years-old with congestive heart failure and hemangiosarcoma of the spleen (and infiltrating her lungs). The past week has been very hard, but she is rallying and is such a beautiful little trooper,” she said.

“When I messaged the Town of Bancroft this morning asking if you had snow, I felt like a crazy dog mom,” Mercer added. “Instead of being passed off or ignored, I was met with compassion and a photo of a backyard covered in snow, with a note to come soon as it was warming up. We packed up our little girl for what might be her last road trip in her favourite Jeep and we got moving!”

“Not only did we get her to her beloved snow for a roll and some puppy snow angels, we took her to Eagle’s Nest as she is a woods girl at heart, and although we didn’t make it very far to see the sights, she loved the woods and the beautiful rock cuts,” Mercer concluded. “Thank you so much for being such a compassionate (and snowy!) town and for making my wish for her come true. Winter is her absolute favourite time of year, and with the mild weather here in Quinte, I don’t think she would have had the opportunity to see it if not for Bancroft area.”
