Oliver Anthony is dealing with the pain of watching his beloved furry friend suffering from cancer. 

The country star took to Instagram to share a video explaining how difficult it has been for him to watch his dog suffering. 

"It's been really difficult watching this dog go down," said Oliver. 

He said just a month ago, the dog was full of life, running around. 

The singer revealed that his dog is only nine years old and the last weeks have been the most difficult. 

"He has such a spirit. He is only 9 years old. Just watching his body fail him these last few weeks is just been really tough," he said while holding back tears.

This week the singer announced that he wants to venture into ministry. 

“My plan is to change my entire focus to traveling ministry work,” he said in a video posted on YouTube

He revealed that he is targeting areas that are often overlooked. 

“I want to create a routing schedule to exist parallel to Nashville that circumvents the monopoly of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, and goes into towns that haven’t had music in them in a long time. It stimulates their economy, showcases their culture, it uses local vendors and local musicians. You’re not having to drive out to Pittsburgh to a concrete amphitheater to see a show. It’s done out on a farm or on a main street that desperately needs the economic impact.”

He also announced The Rural Revival Project, a legal ministry that is aimed at providing a place where “people who have just gotten out of rehab, with PTSD, and people are are depressed and suicidal can come here and reconnect with nature and learn to exist outside of a system that has just kind of been placed on us as a generation.”
