Cassandra Hess had just begun the emotional task of putting away the belongings of her angel baby, Oakley when her four-legged companion sensed the depth of her sorrow.
Immense grief
Cassandra, who had joyfully anticipated the arrival of her second child, suffered the devastating loss of Oakley at 18 weeks into her pregnancy. The profound grief that followed was momentarily lifted when her faithful canine companion approached the basket containing Oakley’s belongings.
As she carefully went through the baby’s things, the dog, seemingly understanding the gravity of the situation, began to sniff the items.
Kind canine
In a heartrending moment captured on camera and shared on social media, the dog’s sensitivity to his owner’s feelings is clear. As Cassandra took a blanket from the basket, the pup’s gaze shifted toward her with a look of recognition. Without hesitation, he showers her with comforting kisses.
Here's the remarkable video (you may need a tissue):
Cassandra, touched by the unexpected comfort from her dog, shared the video to support others navigating the difficult terrain of grief.
