  The ailment proved to be a very large cancerous tumor that was growing inside of him. And unfortunately the tumor had developed to the point that made it too late for any sort of treatment. Devastated, the tragic discovery left her only with one option -- to end poor Rocky's suffering.

  Fisher said, "Rocky had to get put down that day. It was hard to process Rocky's sudden death, but we can't imagine how hard it must be for Spencer to have lost his little brother."

  Fisher continued, "Since Rocky passed, Spencer has been getting up in the night to wander the house looking for his brother. And then he starts crying because he can't find him."

  The article also states that Rocky's ashes have been placed on a shelf above where Spencer and Rocky both slept, to keep the two close. However, it was apparent that Spencer needed something more to help through this difficult time.

  "Spencer has been cuddling into the pillow since it arrived, carrying it from the sofa to his own bed," Fisher said. "He seems a lot more settled now he's got something to cuddle into."
