From Bucket to Forever Home: Bosco's Heartwarming Journey

At the Austin Anabelle Shelter in Texas, staff witnessed something unusual when they released a dog named Centaur into the play yard. While most dogs grab toys or roll around in the grass, Centaur had other ideas. He discovered an abandoned cleaning bucket in the corner and claimed it as his most treasured possession.

The Bucket vs. Pool Debate

A volunteer snapped a photo of Centaur lounging in his bucket and shared it on social media. The image quickly went viral, with many commenters suggesting that what this comfort-seeking pup really needed was a proper pool to relax in.

The shelter staff agreed and brought in a kiddie pool for Centaur. What happened next surprised everyone. After briefly checking out his new, larger water feature, Centaur made his preference crystal clear. The kiddie pool simply wasn't on his bucket list! He promptly returned to his beloved bucket, settling in with what can only be described as canine contentment.

Finding a Forever Family

Thanks to his internet fame as the bucket-obsessed shelter dog, Centaur soon found his forever home. His new family renamed him Bosco and, yes, they adopted both the dog and his cherished bucket.

In his new home, Bosco discovered something else to love just as much as his bucket – his canine sibling named Annabelle. The two quickly became inseparable, with Annabelle becoming Bosco's best friend and constant companion.

A New Challenge for Bosco's Family

Unfortunately, life has thrown a challenge at Bosco's happy family. Annabelle has recently been diagnosed with cancer. There is hope – radiation therapy offers a ninety percent success rate for her condition. However, this life-saving treatment comes with a hefty price tag of $14,000.

How You Can Help

Bosco's family has started a GoFundMe campaign to help cover Annabelle's treatment costs. They're hoping that all the people who fell in love with the bucket-obsessed shelter dog might now help him keep his best friend by his side.

The family that gave Bosco his forever home now needs support during this difficult time. For those able to contribute, even small donations can add up to make a big difference in Annabelle's fight against cancer.
