Watch: Golden Retriever Wally's Emotional Goodbye To Grandma Melts Hearts Online

Farewells are often difficult, whether parting with parents, friends, or relatives. While the thought of saying goodbye may seem like a uniquely human trait, animals tend to experience similar emotions. Now, a video is going viral on social media, showing a dog being mopey and sad at the prospect of saying goodbye to his grandma.

In the viral clip, a golden retriever named Wally, with eyes full of sadness, can be seen quietly leaning on the car window as the grandma attempts to cheer him up before the eventual goodbye.

"Just so sad. Oh buddy, you are so sad. Grandma's gonna see you on Thursday. Mama and Dad gonna go away for the weekend," the grandma can be heard telling Wally.

"So tired, you was a swimmer today, that's why," the grandma added before giving a kiss to Wally. "No one loves you like your grandma. Don't let them fool you, okay?"
