Tucker Budzyn, the golden retriever who became an internet celebrity with millions of followers, has died at age 8 after sudden complications from lymphoma. His owner, Courtney Budzyn, said he initially appeared to respond well to treatment and was even showing signs of partial remission, but lymphoma in his intestine led to a hole and a rapidly developing infection. Despite veterinary treatment with antibiotics and fluids, Tucker’s condition worsened, and his family made the decision to let him go, prompting an outpouring of grief from fans.
