Hero Of The Day: Cody & his family will get to spend the rest of his life w/ a little extra dose of kindness, thanks to a Toledo Burger King

A dog and his family will get to spend the rest of his life with a little extra dose of kindness, thanks to a Toledo-area Burger King. The restaurant offered to give him free cheeseburgers for life to help with his medication after hearing his story.

Cody, a beloved 10-year-old dog, was diagnosed with terminal cancer about two months ago, according to his owner. Since then, Alex Karcher says every day the family has gone by a Burger King to buy Cody a plain cheeseburger to make taking all of his medication a little easier and more enjoyable.

In a message posted to Twitter, Karcher says when they stopped by the Burger King on Sunday, an employee asked them about buying a plain cheeseburger. When she heard the story, she asked them to wait, and then went to talk to a manager. Then she told the family that the rest of the cheeseburgers they buy for Cody would be free at that restaurant.

Karcher says they can't explain how much that simple gesture means to them, as they deal with the heartbreaking news and try to make the rest of Cody's life the best that they can.

Burger King saw the tweet, and replied back thanking Alex for the chance to do it, saying "the world needs a little more kindness and empathy".

Dog bless you Cody.


Burger King is fit for a dog.

In fairness I wouldn't give BK to a terminal cancer patient.
It seems needlessly cruel to me.

This sounds like a cool idea thhough.
Am gonna go hit up DQ and tell them I am dying and only a banana milkshake can sustain me.

It was a very kind gesture and great free PR for BK. That manager should get a bonus.

Sweet ... burger king is gross, but this is nice.

They should put that dog down real soon if he is in any pain.
A pet serves you for life, brings you joy. The least you can do for it is a good ending without distress.

Wonder how many of those freebies is this family going to give to their junk trash filth children.

Not surprising the dog has cancer if they feed it this pisspoorly.

Burger King is fit for a dog.
