It's not often that I have anything nice to say about Burger King but they get a thumbs up for this  A family dog will live out the rest of his days with a happy stomach thanks to Burger King. One of the fast-food chain's restaurants in Toledo, Ohio, is treating 10-year-old Cody, a Boxer-Lab mix who has terminal cancer, to his favorite snack -- cheeseburgers -- for free. "My family and I were heartbroken over the news, but we decided we wanted to try and make the last part of his life the best we could," he wrote. "Everyday since we found out, we've gotten him a plain cheeseburger to eat with his many medications to make it easier and more enjoyable for him." Then on Sunday, when Karcher visited a Burger King on Alexis Road to get Cody's burger, an employee politely asked why he was getting a plain burger -- and he told her why. The Burger King employee left to speak with her manager, who said Cody could eat cheeseburgers for free at their location, according to Karcher. "I can't explain how much that means to us, and my family and I are beyond appreciative," Karcher wrote, adding the employees at the location are "the best around." Burger King's corporate Twitter account responded to Karcher's tweet, saying "the world needs more kindness and empathy." "Thank you for giving us the chance to do this for Cody," the account replied. Lynn Morris, Karcher's mother, told CBS affiliate WTOL-TV her family wants the rest of Cody's days to be as comfortable as possible. "He's such a loyal dog," Morris said. "We call him 'our old gentleman' because of how he looks out for us. We wanted to thank him for being such a good boy." She also expressed her gratitude to the Burger King workers for their act of kindness and wanted to remind people to always adopt their pets -- after all she took in Cody when he was just 8 weeks old. "They turn out to be the best companions," she said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/t...er-king-toledo-ohio/ | ||

Damn decent of them. Don't do much fast food, but might have to make a point of stopping at BK next time I get the urge. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Such a small act, but I'm sure it means the world to the family. Since someone picked it up and ran a story about it, they just bought thousands and thousands worth of advertising and good will for $50 or less. Sometimes it pays to be a good person. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

It’s a small fucking thing to give a cheeseburger to a dog close to dying but may blessings follow that employee and manager wherever they go for the rest of their lives. Yeah fuzzy iPhone screen. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
