This could be the most heartbreaking YouTube video ever.
The video shows a service dog named Wiley crying over the grave of Gladys, a Jewish grandma. It was posted April 14, and went viral early Thursday.
According to the user sarahvarley13, the dog is Wiley, a service wolf who is “used to help veterans returning from war with PTSD. He provides therapy and care through Lockwood Animal Rescue Center and a program called Warriors and Wolves.”
The Lockwood Animal Rescue Center is located in Ventura County, Calif. The video was also posted to the LARC website with the caption, “She will be forever missed, especially by Wiley.”
