Hunter Metzger from Ephrata, PA, placed a special order at his local Texas Roadhouse for his Great Dane, Iris.

In the special request field of his online order, Metzger wrote: “Last meal for our dog. Please prepare with love.” He ordered an 8-ounce New York strip steak, steak fries, mashed potatoes, and freshly baked bread for Iris.

“Everybody loves their pets, and if you ever have to make that tough decision, you want them to be able to go down with some semblance of dignity,” Hunter commented.

Kitchen manager Kate Weston and her team were touched by the request. They prepared the meal with extra care, wrote a note of condolence, and marked “Made with LOVE” on the container.

Staff members personally shared condolences when Metzger picked up the order.
