The dog appeared to be improving. But, by Sunday, their 3,183rd day together, there was no longer any hope for her recovery, Turcich said.
The duo walked through 35 nations before completing their walk around the world. Turchic often uploaded videos of their walks on YouTube.
Savannah even had her very own children's book written about her.
