Sutter has been fighting aggressive cancer in his intestines, lymph nodes and liver and was hospitalized for most of last week.
Vets weren't able to remove all the cancer, but the 13-year-old Welsh corgi has gotten well enough to go home and spend the rest of his life surrounded by his loved ones and doing (and eating) what he wants.

Mom is feeding me whatever I want! And today she got bigly excited just because I had a semi normal poop. Weird! pic.twitter.com/sN7jXDFZOF
