The tragic moment a dog got to say the final goodbye to her owner has gone viral.
American Ryan Jessen, 33, thought he was just suffering a severe migraine. However, he was then hospitalised and diagnosed with a ventricular brain hemorrhage. His faithful companion, a dog named Mollie, was among those who gathered at his bedside to say goodbye to him in hospital.
His sister, Michelle, posted the video on Facebook.
She wrote: "The hospital did the sweetest thing for us and allowed us to bring my brother's dog in to "say goodbye" so she'd know why her human never came home. If you knew my brother, he really loved his sweet dog. (So many people have asked - He thought he had a migraine, but it was a ventricular brain hemorrhage.

"They think it was brought on by high blood pressure, and there's speculation that his frequent consumption of energy drinks may have contributed. THANK YOU to everybody for the outpouring of support, but I won't be responding anymore. We are sincerely touched and humbled by others' stories, their sharing in our sadness and the kindness of so many people. Don't worry about the dog! We're keeping her!!! She's part of the family.)

She then wrote another status explaining that a 17-year-old boy in California who desperately needs a heart transplant will be receiving Ryan's heart. She explained: "As sad as it is to lose Ryan, we know his heart is going to bring so much joy to the family of the recipient. I wish Ryan could know what a difference his heart will make for that young man."
Tragic story.
