People say a dog can be man's best friend.
Anyone who has a dog can relate to this sentiment and understand the emotional connection with our furry friends.
And this relationship is no better exemplified than in a recent Facebook post from Michelle Jessen.
In a video shared by Jessen on Dec. 1, we see the heartbreaking final moment between Jessen's brother, Ryan, and his dog.
According to the post, the hospital agreed to let the family bring in his dog to say goodbye to him before he passed away on Nov. 30, 2016.
Ryan, 33, suffered a ventricular brain hemorrhage and did not survive. After his death, Michelle shared news on Facebook that Ryan's heart will be donated to a California boy.
She also said in the post that the dog will stay with family members.
