This gives a whole new meaning to 'man's best friend'. This man took his terminally ill dog on the adventure of his life across 35 cities and documented their journey on Instagram. Keep the Kleenex nearby, you'll need them. Here are some of the pictures. Neil Rodriguez adopted Poh from a shelter when he was just eight weeks old and 16 years later, he was given just weeks to live after experiencing kidney failure. Rodriguez, a DJ, was scheduled to be in Arizona for a gig in March, but decided he didn’t want to leave his best friend behind fearing that he could pass away at any moment. So Neil, his fiancée, and Poh backed their bags and an IV drip for the pooch, and set out for Arizona. Poh did so remarkably well on the journey that Neil decided he wanted to make an adventure out of it, hitting iconic American attractions like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Bourbon Street, the National Mall in D.C., getting strippers in Las Vegas (can’t confirm the stripper part), and touring the sites of his hometown city, NYC.

These excursions help keep my spirits up while I'm waiting for mom to get back from her trip to japan.

When I wear it I feel like tough guy like pacquiao or mayweather.

My parents @goumada and @djneilarmstrong got me to California for my 1st swim, and now they said they want to get me back to #nyc. I thought I made it back, but there was something fishy about this New York:) No yellow cabs... And I could have sworn that statue was in New Jersey! That's ok... Just means we have a couple more adventures to take together :) #pohthedogsbigadventure A photo posted by poh the dog (@pohthedogsbigadventure) on Apr 7, 2015 at 6:47pm PDT This is my postcard shot.

This is @missgal doggies lola, dailo and tai tai. Tai tai is next to me in the back and is also a senior foster doggie, 15 years old like me! Thank you @missgal for taking care of your poochies, for fostering us shelter doggies. There's so many of us that would love to give companionship out in the world. I hope you all enjoying #pohthedogsbigadventure who have the means and the time are inspired to foster a great doggie as well!

Thank you all the new followers. You guys give me and my parents @goumada and @djneilarmstrong the strength to keep going:) I fell strong... Like... A baby incredible hulk! :) in front of the art wall on Houston and bowery in #nyc. #dog #dog #puppy #pup #cute #eyes #instagood #dogs_of_instagram #pet #pets #animal #animals #petstagram #petsagram #dogsitting #dogsofinstagram #ilovemydog #instagramdogs #nature #dogstagram #dogoftheday #lovedogs #lovepuppies #hound #adorable #doglover #instapuppy #instadog A photo posted by poh the dog (@pohthedogsbigadventure) on May 27, 2015 at 4:58pm PDT Thank u everyone for following my story :) it means the world to me and my parents @goumada and @djneilarmstrong. Just FYI, I am still here on this earth, living my life to the fullest with my dad! Some people have misread the articles recently written about me and think I have passed on :) I am happy that I can continue #pohthedogsbigadventure. I rather have new adventures where I can make memories that my dad can carry with him forever, then just sitting home and waiting for the inevitable. Don't worry everyone, when I'm tired my dad puts me in my cart, so when I get tired I can just rest up. A photo posted by poh the dog (@pohthedogsbigadventure) on May 27, 2015 at 7:23pm PDT
