This Dying Soldier Made Me Hug My Dog Like Never Before. I’m in Tears

This is a truly incredible commercial from the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation – make sure to watch from beginning to end!

At first, I didn't know how this would all play out; in just a couple of seconds, the opening scene showed a heartbreaking scene. And, the final scene truly surprised me in a way I never expected.

PTSD is a very common issue among soldiers, and the effects can be crippling for individuals and their loved ones. To help navigate the toll PTSD and trauma issues can inflict upon those who suffer, professionals enlist the amazing help of emotional support dogs, who provide love and happiness to those in need.

Dogs are truly wonderful, aren't they? They're great companions for just about anyone — just check out how adorably loving this young pup was to a little baby! Not only are dogs friendly and attentive, but they can actually help people get better, too.

This video definitely brings attention to an important cause, and I teared up when I saw just how much this soldier's life was affected by his pooch. The emotional and physical difficulties that soldiers face after having been to war aren't ones that should ever be forgotten, and we should all be thankful that therapy dogs like this one can help make their lives a little easier.

I just love this clip! If you do too, please SHARE with others.
