The heartbreaking news was shared by his mom, Courtney Budzyn, who revealed in a social media post Saturday that Tucker died unexpectedly Wednesday, just two weeks after being diagnosed with lymphoma. Tucker Budzyn, internet’s beloved golden retriever, has died at the age of 8.
“Tucker’s gone. “And since the chemo was working so good and he was going into remission, it left a hole in his intestine where the cancer was, and he got an infection that seemed to hit him overnight. And we woke up and we rushed him in and we thought… we thought we were going to beat the infection. His treatment included the CHOP chemotherapy protocol, along with herbal therapies under the care of a veterinary oncologist.
In a social media post on August 30, Courtney revealed Tucker’s diagnosis and said treatment had already begun.
He was doing really well with treatment, but we didn’t know that he had lymphoma in his intestines,” Courtney said. After just one week, she said Tucker was considered to be in partial remission. Tucker passed away on Wednesday unexpectedly.
