Wiley the wolfdog was so loyal to his late owner, Gladys, that he found it difficult to accept her death.
The grieving dog can be seen in a tragic video crying uncontrollably at Gladys’ funeral as he lay peacefully on her tombstone.
Wiley is seen sobbing and shaking as his family members gather around him in the video, which has moved hundreds of people.
In one film, a family member is seen reaching out to calm a sobbing Wiley and saying, “We miss her too.”
Since user SarahandtheWolves posted it on YouTube, the video has had more than 9,174,611 views.
Wiley is one of the military wolfdogs who rehabilitate veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when they return from combat, according to the YouTube account SarahandtheWolves.
Military wolfdogs provide rehabilitation and care to veterans through LARC, the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center, which specializes in the care of wolfdogs and horses.
The user also gave an explanation to allay any fears about Wiley’s health.
“I’m not a veterinarian, so I can’t say if he reverse sneezes like some of you,” SarahandtheWolves explained.
“I can assure you he has never done anything like this before or since.” I may be romanticizing his behavior, but this is how I deal with loss…”
“I also tell people who think they are dying that they are not.” The sanctuary vet, Wiley, is amazing.”
