I knew you always tried to be the best dog, even when it was hard for your body… and Pumpkin, you were the best dog. I’m gutted. I did, and would have done, anything and everything to make you well. I’m so sorry there weren’t answers.”
To conclude the update, Hatcher wrote, “Sometimes it’s just like that. Wishing you love and light as you journey onward. Bless you, sweet Pumpkin. You truly were the best dog.”
In the comments, Hatcher’s followers flooded her with condolences and prayers after her heartbreaking loss. One Instagram user wrote, “Sending you giant hugs. You gave him a truly wonderful life, and you were lucky to find each other. I’m so sorry. ❤️🩹.”
Another follower shared, “To be soooo loved and loved just as hard back! That is all we could ever want on this earth! Sending you love and prayers.”
