"Sleep tight handsome, knowing you were very very loved by us all."

David Fewster, Buck's carer added that Buck had not been well for the last three weeks.

"It was the hardest decision but making it with Laura at Lawrence Vets who has been with us on the entire journey it was the kindest and right decision." David wrote.

"He spent a lovely morning at Bestwood Country Park yesterday.

"We went for a last walk this morning, and as I carried him back he had his head on my shoulder looking across the fields, we knew it was time.

"He drifted off literally drinking the biggest bowl of water ever not in his chair - all he had ever wanted to do.

"Heʼll leave a huge hole in our hearts and lives but run free, drink as much water as you like son."
