the moment this dog said a final goodbye to her owner is absolutely heartbreaking [Music] this man had sadly come to the end of his road when his family gathered to say their final farewell to their loved one they brought with them man's best friend in a truly heartbreaking scene the loyal dog visited his bedside to say her final goodbye alongside the rest of his family ryan jessen 33 was a landscape designer from california about seven years ago ryan found a stray dog in a cemetery located near his parents home ryan's sister michelle said the dog was a little flea bitten puppy when he first found her but during their six years together ryan and the boxer dog named molly formed a lifelong bond unfortunately in 2016 ryan suffered from what he believed was a migraine sadly it turned out to be a ventricular brain hemorrhage which left him hospitalized in rideout memorial hospital marysville here a ventilator supported him in his coma but eventually the day came when his family would have to say goodbye to their loved one ryan's sudden hospitalization is thought to be linked to his high blood pressure this combined with his love of energy drinks could possibly have contributed to the brain hemorrhage however this is merely speculation by the doctors michelle explained to today it would be nice to be able to blame something but we can't we don't have answers on november 30th 2016 his mother father and sister gathered to say their final farewell to ryan and it wouldn't have been a family goodbye without his loyal dog molly by his side luckily the hospital staff agreed with the family's request and allowed the animal to come with them michelle explained the family's heartwarming idea of bringing the dog to the hospital to today she stated just realizing that my brother is not going to wake up it was obviously upsetting she added we wanted the dog to have closure we wanted to make sure she understood michelle captured the heartbreaking scene she later posted the video on facebook allowing ryan's other friends and family to be part of the goodbye and of course to witness the dog's final moments with her owner michelle wrote ride out memorial 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 she added if you knew my brother he really loved his sweet dog michelle told today ryan was a very sweet person and we're all dog lovers molly's reaction normally would have been to run up and jump on him and be super excited and she was very hesitant the way she reacted to him at the hospital indeed molly seemed to understand the sadness in the room as she sniffed uncertainly around her owner her tail between her legs ryan's parents held her up to him so she could be at his side even lifting her fully onto the bed bringing her close to her owner for one last time many people who have viewed the video wanted to thank the hospital for allowing molly to say farewell to her owner pat kenner thomas wrote thank you for sharing this sweet story of love between your brother and his dog i'm so glad the hospital allowed the dog to say goodbye unfortunately not all hospitals are quite as inviting indeed shelby hennick's grandmother who was hospitalized due to a bad reaction to her medication desperately wanted to see her dog patsy she was missing her pet badly but hospital rules forbade a visit unless the dog was a service animal shelby wasn't going to give up just yet as a vet tech she was aware that the presence of the pooch could provide comfort and healing that some hospital treatments couldn't so she went to her grandmother's house and picked up patsy her mind already formulating a plan to get her inside thankfully patsy is a small dog so shelby's plan worked perfectly wrapping her up in a blanket and disguising her as a baby the 21 year old held her grandmother's dog in her arms successfully she snuck the animal into the hospital room reuniting the pet with her owner and it was definitely worth it for her grandmother's reaction patsy's reunion with her owner went viral when shelby hennig tweeted the pictures they gained more than a million retweets and more than two thousand people commented most to support her actions one user at vabel wrote i really wish i could have done that with my grandma before she died she loved her dog so much and we tried to sneak him in but couldn't the video of molly has also received an amazing reaction online not only has it triggered love and support from people who knew ryan but also viewers from all around the world some of whom even shared their own stories of loss michelle stated thank you to everybody for the outpouring of support we are sincerely touched and humbled by other stories they're sharing in our sadness and the kindness of so many people ryan's memory does not end with his death though his family will of course hold him in their hearts forevermore not only this but ryan's death has left something behind for other people in need ryan's organs will live on in other people on the organ donor waiting list michelle explained at noon today we release him with gratitude to give the gift of life through the organ donor program to waiting recipients many people following the tale via michelle's facebook were heartened by this news one user stephanie scott profit shared her story she wrote my husband's organs were donated and the few that decided to reveal who they were and sent thank you cards made it so worth the decision to donate in december the same year the family received news regarding the fate of one of ryan's organs michelle posted on the first of the month a 17 year old boy in california whose birthday is on christmas will receive my brother's heart today 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 as for molly she is still very much a part of the jessen family she joins two other dogs bella and xander living at ryan's parents home in southern california michelle explained to concerned facebook users don't worry about the dog we're keeping her she's a part of the family when she spoke to today michelle added she will continue to love ryan vicariously through our family people are very worried about the dog and we couldn't fathom not having her to keep up to date with what molly is up to with her new four-legged friends facebook users can visit the deviant dog page a picture captioned living a life of luxury which shows molly sprawled out in an armchair suggests that she has settled in well in her new home yet ryan's mother laurie ann hickenlooper jessen explained molly will miss her doggie daddy and with a bond like ryan and molly's this is understandable in fact on march 24th this year ryan's mother commemorated what would have been her son's 34th birthday with a collection of photos many of them unsurprisingly featured his loyal pup molly in his arms on that day this year the dog was photographed curled up on the sofa laurie ann wrote boss molly is not alone her adopted brother and labrastaffy xander shared a rare luxurious nap on the loveseat for daddy ryan's forever 33 birthday you
