MARYSVILLE, Calif. – Often we have to say goodbye to our pets, but sometimes pets have to say goodbye to us. Heartbreaking video of the moment a dog had to say goodbye to her owner has gone viral.
Ryan Jessen, 33, thought he had a severe migraine. However, he was hospitalized and diagnosed with a fatal ventricular brain hemorrhage.
During Jessen’s final moments, his loved ones gathered around his hospital bed to say their goodbyes. The hospital even allowed his four-legged friend, Mollie, in the room to say goodbye.
Jessen’s sister, Michelle, captured the heart-wrenching moment on video and posted it to Facebook. The video has since gone viral with more than 12 million views and over 100,000 shares.
Her caption said:
Melissa later added that Ryan's unfortunate death will help another person. She says his heart was donated to a 17-year-old boy in California.
She wrote, "As sad as it is to lose Ryan, we know his heart is going to bring so much joy to the family of the recipient. I wish Ryan could know what a difference his heart will make for that young man."
