Bucket list dog 'wonders if it's Christmas time'
The owner of a dog with terminal cancer says her pet "wonders if it's Christmas" after she created a 'bucket list' for him to complete before he dies.
Six-year-old Angus, a Bernese mountain dog, has 16 goals on his list including playing in the snow, enjoying a vanilla ice cream and swimming in Loch Lomond.
"He's still to enjoy a beer, share a fish supper, he's going on date with his girlfriend Molly and a playdate with his friend Charlie," said his owner Dawn Birse. "He's such a special dog and we like to treat him the best that we can."
"Someone suggested meeting up with some other Bernese mountain dogs for a playdate and that gave me the idea to create a bucket list of things he would enjoy," she added.
