18-Year-Old Rescue Dog Does Everything On His Bucket List, And He’s More Alive Than Ever

Morgan, the senior dachshund, ended up in a shelter after his human passed away. The pooch was 18-years-old, so Senior Paws Sanctuary (SPS) was called and asked to help him. “[They] informed us that an elderly, unadoptable dog had arrived,” Kate Reidy, Morgan’s foster mom, told The Dodo. Morgan went to live with Reidy and her 10-year-old dog, Charlie who assumed that the dog would be a bit slower due to this age – but boy was she wrong!

“I joke and say Morgan has Benjamin Button disease,” Reidy said. “He has gotten more active, livelier and his personality has grown in the past year of fostering him. “

Inspired by his passion for life, Reidey decided to make the dog a bucket list. So far, Morgan has gotten on a plane, met a sergeant and became a junior deputy, went to a baseball game, got to take a picture with Santa, enjoyed running on the beach, sat on a motorcycle, and even tried a yoga class. And, for his upcoming 19th birthday, he wants you to send him a card to 1413 Caywood Circle South, Lehigh, FL, 33936. Will you do this and help the doggie with his bucket list?

It looks like, from the photo's that Morgan has cataracts, or is blind. Has anyone checked for this?

You need to relax a little bit bro. Love has many shapes. Yours may not be the same as others. Learn to respect difference.

It's great he got rescued, and that someone cares about him, but come on - does the dog care about doing yoga? Meeting santa? That's a bit ridiculous.

I've met some crazy dog/cat people before, the creepy as f**k kind who talk to their pets like they're babies, in that really annoying high-pitched tone, even the people who practically treat their pets like babies; dressing them up and blah blah blah but making them a sodding bucket list? It's a f*****g animal, it has very little concept of what it's doing, you can even see in its face in every single photo that it's just like "yeah, k" oh sure it's happy but it'd be just as happy chasing a ball in a park, or chasing its own tail, it doesn't even have a concept of its mortality so a "bucket list" is redundant as f**k and now the crazy b***h wants people to send it cards? Seriously just go have a baby you crazy brooding b***h, if you can find a man who'd go within 10 feet of your a*s.

I feel bad for you. You don't know what love and compassion is. You've obviously never had a pet to love. And I truly feel bad for you.
