Losing a pet is probably one of the most painful experiences any person may go through. This is very common as humans have a longer life span than most animals. But a lot of people don’t really realize that when the tables are turned, canines can also go through a horrible moment in their lives, just like this one dog named Moose.
The pooch became viral for grieving over his owner. A photo of him waiting faithfully for his human dad found its way online, and many people found his loyal act very inspiring.
Troubled life
Not much was known about Moose’s early life. He was found tied to a road sign in New Jersey, abandoned by his previous owner. An animal charity organization named the Eleventh Hour Rescue took the dog in and gave him a safe and comfortable place to stay until he got a new owner. Because of his bubbly character, he got a forever home soon after.
Moose and his new dad quickly developed a strong bond. They were perfect for each other and became inseparable. But his new happiness didn’t last long. Unfortunately, the dog’s owner became gravely ill and had to stay in the hospital.
Moose was a very loyal pet and sat by his dad’s bed all the time. His presence made his owner feel better, but it wasn’t enough to save his life.
Fixing a broken heart
The day Moose’s owner died, the dog still stayed by the hospital bed. He didn’t exactly know what was happening, but he was determined to wait for his dad to return. Someone tried to lead him away, but he refused to go. Rescuers from Eleventh Hour Rescue had to be called in.
Before they took the canine away, one of the rescuers took a picture of Moose by the bed. It was a sorrowful sight, and it was shared on the organization’s social media accounts. The photo perfectly depicts the loyalty a dog possesses.
The post became viral, and the dog’s story touched numerous people. Applications for his adoption started coming in. They wanted to help fix the Moose’s grieving heart. A few days later, he is in a new home again.
Moose may still long for his owner, but at least he now has a new family who will comfort and love him.
