Parting with a pet can hit harder than almost any other goodbye. A 19-year-old dog that had been part of a family for nearly two decades comforted its owner moments before being euthanized — a scene that has moved pet lovers around the world.

The gesture — as if the dog were whispering, “I’m okay, don’t be so sad” — brought tears to the eyes of those watching.
