Snow had recently fallen in Serbia, and it was crucial that she find a cozy home, because she had puppies to keep safe. It was very fortunate that local animal rescuer Vensa Mihajloski came across them, or they might not have survived.

She and a team of rescuers brought food to earn mama’s trust and give her some comfort. Vigilance and offspring-rearing is tiring work, and she was grateful to be rescued and have a safe, warm place to stay where she wouldn’t have to expend energy searching for food or water.

With Vensa and the team’s help, the adorable puppies were able to grow into strong, healthy dogs. Today they are all living in a lovely home, and mama can now rest easy for the remainder of her life.

Stories of dogs mourning the loss of their owners or fellow four-legged friends aren’t new, but this video of a pup at the grave of his former human takes that sorrow to a heartbreaking extreme. Though the clip is brief, there’s no doubt its intense impact will stay with you all day. His other humans admit they may be projecting some of their own emotions onto the poor pup, but that he had also never acted in this way before or after the trip to the grave. Either way, we definitely shouldn’t underestimate our animal friends’ capacity for caring.
