Moment When Police Dog Says An Emotional Last Goodbye To His Handler Captured On Video, And It Is Heartbreaking
A police dog named Jerjes just did something that feels almost impossible to watch, he walked up to his handler’s coffin like he already knew what goodbye meant. And when Jorge Baeza’s life was cut short in a car crash, the bond between them turned into a silent moment of respect that went straight through everyone watching.
Jorge worked with the Carabineros dog training unit in Santiago de Chile, and Jerjes wasn’t “just” a working dog to him.

When Eduardo Ortega captured the scene and shared it with the words, “today, we said goodbye to the remains of a fellow soldier,” it stopped being a video and became a heartbreak you can’t unsee.
