WATCH: GIRL'S ADORABLE REACTION TO GETTING A PUPPY
Snapped being visited by friends, having fun at a waterpark play area and relaxing on a picnic rug, the collection of photos entitled ‘I Died Today’ also uses captions to tell Duke’s story from his own doggie point of view.
Duke, who on his last day alive managed to wangle a whole plate of hamburgers all for himself, also crashed a website from beyond the grave. The photos, taken by Robyn Arouty, generated so much interest that the photographer’s blog temporarily broke down and has attracted over 100,000 visitors so far.

Duke’s owner, Jordan, said: 'We struggled with the decision to let Dukey go, but ultimately did everything in our power to protect him from further pain. With the help from our friends, Dukey had a beautiful day filled with love and happiness. We should all be so lucky.'
Duke had already undergone chemotherapy treatment and even had a front leg successfully removed in an attempt to get better. Sadly though, the dog’s tumor continued to grow and his family was left with no choice other than to have him put down on 7th July. Rest in peace Dukey! You looked like one amazing dog.
