The video will move you to tears.

From the article:

"In what has to be one of the saddest and yet the most heartwarming stories I've ever heard, the tale of a dying stray dog who finally received the love and compassion he never knew right before he died has touched me in more ways than one.

"Ol Boy" was found sick, starving, and alone on the streets of Singapore by a rescue group called Save Our Street Dogs. They picked him up off the ground (where he was lying in his own urine) and took him to a veterinarian, who found that he was infested with ticks, covered in sores, in incredible pain, and possibly suffering from cancer.

After having the ticks removed and receiving blood transfusions, the group found out via an animal communicator (someone who specializes in how animals think and feel) that Ol Boy was dying, and that his last wish was to feel the warmth and security of a loving family.

Take a look at this video clip to hear what happened next.

What those men did for that poor dog was one of the gentlest and kindest gestures I've ever witnessed. And as sad as it is that Ol Boy ultimately didn't survive years of living on the streets, knowing that he felt genuinely loved and cared for in his last few hours is somewhat of a comfort.

And the way he was cremated and had his ashes scattered with such dignity and respect was such a moving ending to his tragic life. His story proves even further that no amount of compassion is too small, and it's never too late to show someone they are loved.

What moved you the most about Ol Boy's story?"

Rest in peace Ol Boy. Glad you found some compassion and comforting in your final hours. God Bless your rescuers.

Go join your siblings, whom you were parted from as pups, and your friends, beyond rainbow bridge

Saturday September 8, 2012, 12:34 am
Dear Friends: don't just note the story....watch the video.

I have tears streaming down my face and feel so much pain and relief for Ol Boy combined.

Ol Boy wants you to know his story. Please pay him homage and watch the video.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 12:39 am
Tears, Tears, Tears!!! It set my asthma off - God bless them for helping Old Boy have a loved last few days - may he wait at Rainbow Bridge for them!

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:09 am
Have watched the video, and am now reduced to a broken heart, and a puddle of water here, but also so touched my the compassion shown by those two people who took Ol Boy Home, and giving him the love and compassion, and the home he so must have dearly wanted...He was treated so kindly, and with such respect, and dignity, He must have felt like a King...I can't stop crying, God Bless you Ol Boy...

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:13 am
I still have tears running down my face as I'm typing. Michelle thanks for sharing this heartwarming story.
God Bless those who rescued Ol Boy and gave him a home, love and all he needed just before crossing the Rainbow Bridge.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:43 am
Thanks, what more can be said.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 3:24 am
So tragic.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 4:56 am
Already read the article about him some days ago... Got tears in my eyes when reading...

Thanks, Michelle. I guess I'm not brave enough to watch it as I know reading this story already made me cry...

Saturday September 8, 2012, 5:32 am
................terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:00 am
No way that I read this, I cannot!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot Michelle :(((

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:19 am
Sara - I agree with you - after reading all the comments it seems a box of tissue wouldn't be enough for me - i cry at kid's movies - thanks for posting Michelle -

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:25 am
I can't bear it - thank God for all those kind people who do their best for the Singapore Street Dogs, bless them. RIP old boy, I know you are really feeling love now.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:28 am
E' davvero terrificante.......non ci sono parole

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:28 am
cried and cried, may Ol' Boy rest in peace

Saturday September 8, 2012, 7:40 am
I really hate to cry, so what was I thinking when I let myself watch this ?! I did so out of respect. But I am grateful I saw the end, I am grateful that this beautiful dog got one moment of love and care and passed away no longer having to endure the horrific suffering he was in. And that fact I am grateful for just ONE MOMENT of this dog's life is gut wrenching. This is the only time I want to believe in reincarnation. May ol' boy either be born again as a happy and sassy pup adopted into a fabulous home or transform into a beatutiful shining star ~ Let is be so !

Saturday September 8, 2012, 7:45 am
I am still crying. May Ol'Boy Rest in Peace. Thanks for sharing.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 7:50 am
I posted this a few days ago and my heart was broken by Ol Boy's story, cannot watch again but my heart is with Ol Boy and I hope to meet him one day. Thank you.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 7:56 am

But he is now running with Lennox, Yuko and all the others he is happy and whole now and at least he knew that the last hand to touch him were hand filled with love and care and so his life was greatly appreciated and loved and believe me be ...Ole boy knew that and ole boy is now young boy and restored fully whole! We all love you ole boy and will forever keep you in our hearts!!!

Saturday September 8, 2012, 8:35 am
So sad! Thank you Michelle.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 8:43 am

Saturday September 8, 2012, 9:21 am
I knew I'd regret watching the video but I had to. My heart breaks for Ol Boy but I'm so glad he was surrounded by love and compassion towards the end of his life.

Rescuers, you are awesome!

Saturday September 8, 2012, 9:25 am

Sadly noted and watched the video with so many tears falling,it's heartbreaking to think how Ol Boy suffered on the streets and from the first moment i saw the video i wished i could have given him a big hug for all that he went through and then these wonderful caring people took care of him,giving him love and tender moments until he fell asleep,it warms my heart to know that he found love and kindness at the end of his sad life and still the tears fall.It gives me hope to know there are many caring,compassionate,loving people in this world.THANK YOU to all who made Ol Boys last days free of suffering and pain and he fell asleep knowing love!!! It was beautiful to see how he was cared for after his death and that really touched me,such gentle young men.Rest In Peace Ol Boy your suffering is now over and you are now free.My heart goes out to the street dogs and ALL animals who never find love,comfort or kindness.Thank you dear Michelle for this very touching video,you will be loved always dear Ol Boy.Forever in my heart and thoughts.Liz Xx

Saturday September 8, 2012, 10:03 am
You cannot currently send a star to Michelle because you have done so within the last week.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 10:13 am
This is heartbreaking. I am glad he did not die alone and in his final moments he was shown love and compassion. I am stillcrying. Rest in peace you poor sweet baby.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 10:16 am

How sad that he couldn't have been rescued earlier! But on the other hand, he didn't die alone on the streets!
Thanks Michelle

Saturday September 8, 2012, 11:05 am
poor guy :(

Saturday September 8, 2012, 11:05 am
Very sad.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 12:18 pm
The only words I can say (because I am in tears right now) is may God remember Ol Boy.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 1:10 pm
Singapore one of the richest countries, full of wealth an Mercedes´ yet void of compassion for animals ....... :(

Saturday September 8, 2012, 1:35 pm
Reading the comments, I knew that I couldn't watch the video. God Bless all the animals in the world and those that love and care for them. Curses on those that abuse and abandon animals and for letting them breed. You can tell a lot about a person and a country on how they treat their animals.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:13 pm
He has to be in such a better place now. He was probably relieved to leave this miserable world after the way it treated him.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:29 pm
Poor dog !

Saturday September 8, 2012, 2:50 pm
Very sad.Poor dog

R.I.P. Ol Boy... now you are free and healthy....

Saturday September 8, 2012, 5:50 pm
Noted, Thank you Michelle.

Instead of countries spending so much of their money on weapons of war and their military, money should be used to improve the lives of their people and their sentient animals..

Saturday September 8, 2012, 6:23 pm
That poor little fellow. May many blessings go to the ones who gave him comfort at the end. Sad to think how many more stories like his there are and how many never know the kindness this little one knew for a short time..

Saturday September 8, 2012, 7:27 pm
Not enough kleenex in the computer room. Still crying.

Saturday September 8, 2012, 9:04 pm
Thank you to everyone who did their very best to help a needy and deserving old dog...

Saturday September 8, 2012, 9:05 pm
What will the judgement of humanity be for allowing such sorrow?

Saturday September 8, 2012, 11:00 pm
poor boy!!

Saturday September 8, 2012, 11:42 pm
RIP little doggie. My heart breaks but I hope others like him will be saved.

noted...this was such a beautiful tribute to Ole Boy....God bless him...he is now at Rainbow Bridge playing and running with all the other dogs that are there...my praise and thanks to the guys that gave him a home for the short while...God will give you blessings abundantly my friends....I also had a similar experience with a dog that was in bad shape from an animal shelter...I only had her for 3 days, she was starving and in very bad shape, and on the 3rd day I adopted her she got distemper and I had to have her put down....in her weak moments, she wagged her tail and kissed my hand as if to say thank you for helping me...I will never forget it, and this story reminds me so much of my own experience with my Sadie....now Sadie and Ole Boy are together and enjoying life as dogs should!!!!! Thank you for this sweet story!!!!! Thank you Jesus for the people out there that have a sweet soul for animals that do not have any control of their lives....may we all together make a difference!!!!!

R.I.P. Ol'Boy.

Sunday September 9, 2012, 7:52 am
Heartbreaking. He has crossed the Rainbow Bridge now. Rest in peace, Ol' Boy.

Sunday September 9, 2012, 8:54 am

Poor Ol'Boy to have had such a miserable life on the streets but am so glad that in the end he was loved and in a home. {I cry more just thinking about it} Thank you, Michelle, for sharing and much thanks to all the people who made Ol' Boy's end so happy.

Sunday September 9, 2012, 1:00 pm
By the comments, I knew I couldn't watch the video. This is so sad that we have to treat animals so poorly. Hopefully we can change the world and save the animals and throw those that abuse and abandon animals in jail forever.

Sunday September 9, 2012, 1:58 pm
Thank you so much Michelle. So sadly noted .I can't stop crying reading this sad article and all the sad comments about Ol Boy's terrible life and his only few happy moments before he passed away. So touching that so dear people gave Ol Boy love and care on a short time.
Tears, tears, tears and always tears are running down my face that I'll watch the video tomorrow since it's not possible for me doing it still now. But for sure, I'll watch it... in honour of Ol Boy!!!!
R.I.P. Ol Boy, poor sweet doggie!!! So sad you didn't got care and love earlier in your sad life!!!

Sunday September 9, 2012, 3:08 pm
Sadly noted and definitely need Kleenex. How can people let animals be treated this way. Blessings to those who helped this poor dog.

Sunday September 9, 2012, 6:48 pm
OMG this is so so sad. Poor dog lived his life like that and many other stoo. Why do people do this to them? It breaks my heart. xx

I am glad that Ol Boy finally felt the love of people and had a place to call home, even if it was only a short while!! God Bless those guys for giving him that, before he left us!!
Rest in Peace little one. You will never feel unloved or homeless again!!!
