While Simmy won her battle against cancer, a 12-year-old Border Collie named Ella wasn't that lucky. The dog suffered from oral cancer and her parents decided to put her down to end her suffering. But before that, Sarah Keith, who had spent over a decade with her dog, took Ella on her last walk on Fraisthrope beach, in East Yorkshire, Edinburgh while inviting people on social media to join them. “The post just got shared and shared. And I had people from all parts of the country who never were going to be able to make the walk sending me messages,” said Sarah.
