A local fast food restaurant is getting international attention. In fact, the story of what happened at a Toledo Burger King has gone viral.

A customer at the Burger King on East Alexis Road shared the story of kindness on social media. It immediately got a huge response.

The customer came to the drive-thru this weekend a couple times within a few hours. After a quick conversation with him, employees learned he was buying a plain cheeseburger for his dog, Cody.

Cody has a terminal illness and only has a few months to live. The dog's owner says the cheeseburger makes it a lot easier for Cody to take his pills.

Josie Sanchez is a shift manager at the restaurant. "I had a pet that passed away a few years ago so I knew where they were coming from. I know what it feels like to lose your best friend. We were all glad to help Cody and help his medicine go down with a little more ease. I didn't do it for any recognition. I did it because it's the right thing to do and it's how my parents raised me."

Cody's owners came back to the restaurant earlier this week to say thank you. The staff at Burger King hopes to meet Cody one day soon.
