The tale of a dog’s food bowl is bringing tears to countless eyes across the internet. If you haven’t already put on your makeup today, you might want to hold off—this story is guaranteed to make you cry.
A viral tweet has touched so many hearts with a story that could rival the emotional weight of classics like Old Yeller and Marley & Me. Dogs truly are the purest beings in this world, and this story encapsulates that sentiment.
Filmmaker Jamie Hargrove had two Labrador retrievers, Max and Bella, who were inseparable. “We adopted Max when I was only in elementary school, and then we brought Bella into the family a few years later so that Max wouldn’t be lonely. They were like two peas in a pod, always playing and caring for one another,” Hargrove shared.
Tragically, Max passed away earlier this month. Hargrove took to Twitter to share a poignant moment. “We had just one food bowl for Max and Bella,” he wrote. “Max taught Bella to only eat half of what was in the bowl, ensuring there was always some left for him. Now that Max is gone, I’ve been giving Bella less food. I checked on her before bed, and she still left half her food behind for Max.”
Take your time processing that—it’s enough to make anyone weep.
Losing a pet is one of the hardest experiences, as I can personally attest to after saying goodbye to my own fur baby last year. The bond we share with these little creatures is so deep that stories like this resonate universally.
Hargrove mentioned that Bella is coping with the loss, stating, “We’re making sure she receives the love and comfort she needs, and she’s doing alright.”
What have we done to deserve the unconditional love of dogs?
