A family in Richmond, Virginia gave their beloved seven‑year‑old golden retriever, Emmie, a heartfelt farewell after she was diagnosed with an aggressive blood cancer that later spread to her lungs. Wanting to give her one last joyful experience, her owner, Kelly Blumenthal, reached out to Perry’s Steakhouse—one of Emmie’s favorite places.
The general manager welcomed the idea and organized a touching send‑off: staff members created an honor walk, gifted Emmie a steak bone, prepared a dog‑friendly cake, and surprised the family with a large dessert. Employees spent time hugging and petting Emmie, making the visit feel full of love.
