A man's best friend.─── 12:03 Sat, 24 Jan 2015
When her beloved dog was diagnosed with cancer, Lauren Fern Watt made her a bucket list.
Watt, 25, adopted the 8-year-old English Mastiff in her home state of Tennessee and named her Gizelle. They were inseparable, managing both college and a move to New York City together.
The pair became more than just owner and pet because Gizelle provided a support system, as Watt writes in a personal essay for Yahoo! Travel.
So when a vet diagnosed the 160-pound dog with terminal bone cancer, Watt made the decision to thank Gizelle for her years of love with a final series of happy afternoons, long naps and doggy adventures.

They road tripped through New England with one of Watt’s closest friends, as Gizelle poked her oversize nose out the window.
The pair paid tribute to their Tennessee roots with a quiet trip to a lake and two containers of sweet vanilla ice cream, which they shared.
They took a trip to Times Square early in the morning so Gizelle could sightsee before all the tourists got out of bed.
Gizelle often snuggled into Watt’s arms, forgetting about her size and relying on the comfort of the embrace.
