Anyone who loses a pet can experience trauma, like this family, who had to bid their 16-year-old pet dog farewell for the last time.
Okey, who had spent the preceding 16 years traveling with his family, passed away in February. With his gorgeous smile and endearing demeanor, he won everyone over even in his final moments.
The video that Okey’s owner recorded before he passed away shows Okey lying in the arms of the young kid while he is surrounded by his family.
Moments after the mother thanked him for spending nearly 20 years with their family, Okey took his final breath.
The young child and his family were devastated to see Okey depart permanently, but they understood the situation.
16-year-old Okey had been ill for two years and had even spent time in the hospital during that time.
Okey couldn’t be helped, but there was nothing that could be done.
The elderly dog was then returned home by his family so that he may spend his final days with the people he loved the most.
It was obvious that Okey was about to leave them as the young kid cradled his tiny body in his arms.
Okey had the good fortune to pass away with his loved ones by his side.
When the video was posted to YouTube in March, it received 1.72 million views in a short period of time from people wishing to express their condolences and support to the family for losing their cherished companion dog.
Okey and his family had to say a terrible goodbye, but they knew it wasn’t the end.
