A grieving woman is spending £3.5k and travelling more than 7,000 miles so her beloved hamster's ashes can be spread in Hawaii. Pet Spud passed away naturally in March 2022 at the impressive age of three years and seven months.
Owner Lisa Murray-Lang, 46, has been left devastated by the death - and wants to give the Syrian hamster a special send-off. So she and her husband are planning to fly to Honolulu in September - so Spud's ashes can be spread.
Lisa, a professional dog walker, says the trip will also go via Amsterdam - or "Hamsterdam", as she calls it. She said: "We're going to take him down to the beach, play Beyoncé's song I Was Here while we scatter his ashes and leave a message in the sand saying 'Spud visited'.
