There’s no love quite like the love between a human and their pet.
It’s a deep bond that some people would go to any lengths to ensure their pets have the best moments, even in their twilight years.
Carlos Fresco, a 57-year-old shopkeeper, did just that.
His beloved pet dog, Monty, had been battling leukemia.
Knowing that their time together might be short, Carlos decided to ensure Monty could experience his favorite place once more: the Brecon Beacons, a mountain range in Wales.
But there was a twist.
Because of his deteriorating health, Monty couldn’t walk up the mountain like he used to.
So, Carlos came up with an idea that warmed the hearts of everyone who saw them: he placed Monty in a wheelbarrow and took him up the mountain himself.
Love that Knows No Bounds
The love story between Carlos and Monty began 10 years ago.
Monty, a labradoodle, was Carlos’ faithful companion.
They had been on countless adventures together.
Their bond was so strong that Carlos once said, “He’s been all over the place with me and has climbed over 40 munros in Scotland.”
But as the years went by, Monty’s health began to falter.
Despite his failing health, his love for adventure and the great outdoors never waned.
A Final Adventure
The Brecon Beacons held a special place in both their hearts.
It was their haven, a place where they could escape from the daily grind and immerse themselves in nature.
Knowing this, Carlos wanted to ensure that Monty got one last visit.
With Monty settled comfortably in a wheelbarrow, the duo began their ascent.
As they trekked up the mountain, many passers-by stopped to share their stories, offer help, or pat Monty’s head.
Carlos mentioned, “People on the hills were so kind and equally sad at Monty’s deteriorating condition. Their kindness was truly wonderful.”
Tribute to Monty
Tragically, Monty passed away soon after their final journey together.
However, his memory lives on, not just in the heart of Carlos but also in those who witnessed their touching adventure.
Carlos lovingly remembered, “I cannot express the wonderful acts of kindness we have experienced on our travels around the UK and just recently in the Brecon Beacons.”
He further shared:
“From the beautiful sunrises to the ever-changing weather and meeting so many wonderful people, our travels will stay with me as some of my most treasured memories.“
