1.29.15 - Crying Rottweiler Mourns His Dead Brother1

 

On January 20th, Brutus’ twin brother Hank died in his sleep.  Though he has never even whimpered in the two years he and Hank have been with adoptive dad Brett Bennett, he cried and refused to leave his brother’s side.

“Rottweiler wakes up to find that his twin Hank had passed during the night and gone to heaven. Brutus does not want to leave him and will not budge, laying on top of his head. Brutus has never whined or cried out in pain the two years I have had him,” Brett said in the description of his video.  “But clearly you can see in his eyes, he is crying for his brother who had passed, as his world around him just crumbled. We both grieve and cry for our brother…”

“This is proof that animals DO have emotions and feel pain just like we do :'( Please share this heartbreaking story everywhere and let it go viral…Let the world know animals feel love and pain just like us.

“This is about 30 minutes after we woke up and were missing our baby. I normally don’t video record my real life catastrophes or share but decided I needed to send a message to the world and show how much pain my dog was in, as he loved his twin so much.”
