In early April, Hunter Metzger made a heartfelt request at a Texas Roadhouse location in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, ordering the “Texas Roadhouse dog last meal” for his beloved Great Dane, Iris. This emotional gesture would mark Iris’ final day, as her health had drastically declined due to a nasal growth that had stopped responding to medication.
The meal, which consisted of an 8 oz. New York strip steak, steak fries, mashed potatoes, and fresh-baked bread, was prepared with care and compassion. It came with a note: “Last meal for our dog. Prepare w/ love.” This simple message touched the hearts of everyone involved, especially Kate Weston, the employee who prepared the meal. An animal lover herself, Weston knew this would be Iris’ final dinner and wanted to ensure it was as special as possible.

What truly amazed him was that the meal was offered free of charge, a gesture of kindness and empathy during a difficult time.
