Horse Grieving His Owner's Death At Funeral
When Wagner Figueiredo de Lima of Brazil died suddenly, his whole family was devastated. That included his beloved horse, Sereno. Wagner's brother decided to give Sereno the chance to say goodbye by bringing him to Wagner's funeral. And the sight of the horse grieving his owner's death, though absolutely heartbreaking, shows just how much animals truly love their humans.

There were even times Wagner stopped buying things for himself so he'd have enough money to provide for Sereno.
