Blanco shared on Instagram, "RIP to one of our fur babies. We will always remember you as the sweet, energetic, goofy & loving spirit you were. We adopted Moby after his last family left him in their apartment for over a week after they had been evicted. He was found covered in his own feces & out of food/water. Poor baby, but lucky us! My favorite memory with Moby was when I took him to the beach for the first time (slide 4). It was such a joyous moment to see him so happy and wild at the beach after being abandoned like that. Unfortunately, his happy spirit masked any symptoms he had of bone cancer until out of no where he stopped eating. 3 days ago we were told he would have days to live… We were not ready for you to leave us, but I am so happy that you got to be surrounded by your whole family before you left. A reminder that we cannot take anything or anyone for granted. Love you, good boy! Wish I could take you on one last run. Thank you for all the memories."

The photos shared are so sweet with Moby enjoying time at the beach and with his human sister, Honey. How absolutely heartbreaking for the couple.
People on Instagram agree with this sentiment and one Jenner's mom, Linda Thompson said, "Such a profound loss! What beautiful photos and what a lucky little guy he was to have such a loving family for the time he did. I’m so sorry… Makes me cry for you all and for him." Someone else added, "I’m so sorry to read this — we truly don’t deserve dogs. I’m so happy he knew love and an abundance of family at the end of his life. He’ll be the first to greet you on rainbow beach, wagging his happy tail!"
That's so sweet! I have heard the term rainbow bridge before but never rainbow beach, and what a sweet term for a dog that loved his visits to the ocean! Rest in peace Sweet Moby.
