But eventually, it was time to say goodbye. Emi wrote that Benji has passed on, forever leaving a “Benji sized hole in our hearts.”“I love you forever my sweet old man,” she wrote on TikTok.
The video went viral, and many people were moved by the story, thanking Emi for giving Benji such a great second chance after he was heartlessly given up as a senior.
@emwright22 I love you forever my sweet old man. #seniordog #hospicedog #adoptionstory #seniorchihuahua
“18 and dumped in a shelter is Diabolical ?? I hate people,” one comment on TikTok reads. “Thank you for saving this sweet baby.”
“You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for giving Benji the best final months he could have possibly dreamed of,” another wrote.
“Thank you for being this little man’s guardian angel,” another added. “Your love was exactly the comfort and protection he needed in the end.”
It’s unbelievable that anyone would surrender their 18-year-old dog, but we’re glad Benji found a great new home and spent his final months being loved ❤️
