A mother’s love for her children knows no bounds.
So, when this dog’s puppies were rescued, she understandably became a little overwhelmed.
Watching her babies feeding, she turns her big doggy eyes to the camera - and begins to cry.
And her joyful tears of relief have definitely struck a chord with the internet.
Watch for yourself:
One viewer wrote: “No, she doesn't stand on two legs. And no, she doesn't speak our language. But yes, she is a mother.
“Feeling and emotions are real.”
Another added: “Dogs are the most loving creatures ever - this is beautiful to see.”
However there were a few killjoys out there.
One YouTube user wrote: “If your dog has fluid coming out of its eyes, you might assume that the animal is crying.
“However, it’s important for pet owners to note that dogs cannot cry in the way that humans do. If a dog’s eyes are discharging liquid, it is because something is wrong, not because the animal is overcome for emotion.”
