The owner of a Bernese Mountain dog whose videos with his squirrel buddy have gone viral wants her cancer-stricken pooch to have decent final days.

Jax, a beloved member of the docile Swiss breed and friend of Wally the Squirrel, was recently diagnosed with lymphoma.

Shannon Apple, Jax's owner, started a Gofundme page for the pooch, with the goal of attaining money to help the canine's final days be joyful.

"We can't afford the $10,000+ yearly cost of chemotherapy and the meds that go along with that. We just have to keep him happy and pain free for the time he has left," wrote Apple.

Apple had originally set up the account to help out Jax for another ailment, as well as to spotlight the other pets she owns.

Jax, alongside Wally, became Internet sensations a couple years ago when a video of Wally hiding a nut in Jax's fur went viral. It can be seen here and below.
