Widowed grandfather inconsolable, until family call, with a sweet surprise

A Grieving grandfather in Grand-Bigard, Belgium, was inconsolable after the death of his wife of 63 years.

.....until his family from Dilbeek bought him a puppy. The video's in Flemish but don't worry if you don't understand the language - you really don't need to. Just look at his reaction.

I'm sure the Van Haesendonck family pet is going to have a wonderful life.

I've been rewatching that video all day. And sobbing. To make myself happy...

Puppy's going to have a lovely life, by the way. I know this area.

ETA: and thank you so much Tlyca for posting the video!
