Dogs are arguably one of the best animals in the world and they can stick by their owner through thick and thin. These animals offer love and loyalty towards their owners and they will always be the trending topics on the internet. There’s nothing more heartbreaking than seeing a doggo sticking by his human to bid his final goodbye.
A video of a similar incident has gone viral on the internet and netizens cannot stop choking on their tears. The viral clip featured a furry creature sticking by a man with heart disease and he has won millions of hearts on the internet.
Brian Benson was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a condition that makes it more difficult for the heart to pump blood to the body’s tissues. He took to his Instagram handle and dedicated his doggo a post, who never left his side throughout the course of the treatment.

The 6-year-old labrador retriever was spotted standing close to the hospital bed, and as the video proceeds further the doggo can be seen tagging along with the man everywhere. In a heart-winning gesture, the dog also lay next to him to calm and console his owner.
“I was having chest pains and a hard time breathing last weekend, so I went to the ER to get checked out. They kept me for 3 days to run countless tests plus observe my condition and monitor my heart. Unfortunately it is very serious and they discovered that I have a condition called cardiomyopathy, which means my heart is weak and working way harder than it should. Normally this occurs due to a blockage of the heart. I don’t have any blocked arteries which is the good news. The bad news is that this is possibly linked to my family history of heart disease and heart attacks (especially at a young age).”
“Even though I have been working out for over 35 years, eat healthy, ran the NYC marathon, completed multiple Spartan races, trained in Krav Maga and boxing, I’m one of the rare cases where a person ‘just’ develops cardiomyopathy. The painful reality is that sometimes you just can’t beat your genetics no matter how hard you work. It’s almost like trying to swim upstream; maximum effort with minimal or limited results,” it continued.
Brian thanked his friends, family and his dog and said, “However I am extremely lucky and grateful for so many things; friends, family and of course my boy, Magnus. Both of my daughters stayed with me all 3 days while I was in the hospital; making sure I was comfortable, had enough pillows and that I had yummy food to eat (because I am a huge foodie). They really stepped up and did EVERYTHING for me. Friends were also in my corner helping in any way possible. I’m lucky to still be extremely close to a large group of friends from when I was a kid; friends since the 3rd, 4th & 5th grade. These people aren’t really just friends anymore, but family. They all checked in with me constantly to see if I was ok or needed them to help in anyway. The outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming.”
The video instantly went viral and it has garnered immense love from netizens. Many dropped heart emoticons in the comments section, while others hailed the dog. One user wrote, “The best thing on the internet today.” Another user wrote, “We truly don’t deserve them. Their loyalty is like none other. Glad you’re on and had your pal w/u🙏♥️.”
