Grieving Rottweiler Cries Over His Deceased Twin Brother

This Rottweiler’s emotional goodbye to his brother left me in tears. Brett Bennett rescued twin Rottweilers Brutus and Hank from an animal shelter. The pair were together their entire lives.

Brutus woke up to find that Hank had passed away during the night. He did not want to leave his brother’s side and refused to budge when his dad found him. Brett says that Brutus has never whined or cried out in pain the two years he has had him. “But clearly you can see in his eyes, he is crying for his brother…”

In the YouTube description, Bennett indicates Hank had been ill, as the dog had lost his appetite, but “was still drinking and nibbling on food” and he thought Hank was okay. “A week later Brutus and I awoke to his peaceful body next to us as he passed in the night in his sleep,” Bennett writes. “This is about 30 minutes after we woke up and were missing our baby. I normally don’t video record my real life catastrophes or share but decided I needed to send a message to the world and show how much pain my dog was in as he loved his Twin so much.”

Heartbreaking! RIP sweet Hank.
