Overview

• Ülker and his wife, Caroline Steinhof, said their bulldog died last week following a cancer diagnosis, with euthanasia performed at home.
• Sudden weight loss and a swollen abdomen prompted an ultrasound that showed widespread tumors, including involvement of the spleen.
• Their veterinarian advised spending a few comforting days together before letting Avani go.
• Steinhof kept vigil during the final night, and the family called the farewell peaceful while noting their children’s resilience.
• Avani was rescued in Hungary with sight in only one eye and was later buried in the family’s garden.
