He\u2019s been there for every song, every tour, every single night I doubted myself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The heartbreaking diagnosis came after Rufus began showing signs of unusual fatigue and discomfort. A veterinarian\u2019s visit confirmed their worst fears\u2014aggressive cancer with limited treatment options.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people say dogs are like angels,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jelly Roll said, his eyes brimming with tears.\u00a0\u201cBut this dog\u2026 he\u2019s my guardian angel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
