The Circle - true story of mans connection with k-9’s 

My veterinarian has a sign in his lobby: Heaven is the place that every dog you've ever loved comes to greet you when you arrive. Dear God, please make it so.

I have had and lost many dogs during my lifetime on this earth of 66 years. Every time I say to myself that I am not gone get another one because it hurts so bad when you lose them. But somewhere there is always that dog that is lost and lonely or abused and neglected and needs me as bad as I need him or her and there I go again falling in love. This circle continues on for dog lovers everywhere until we die. That is just the way it is and we can't help it.

Had to say goodbye to my boy 2 weeks ago I Got him as a puppy when I was 17 years old he was there through my first heart break, when I lost close friends and when I thought I had nobody. He was always there 8 years later, I think back to the times we had I smile and cry. The bond we had was special and There will never be another one like him I love you Max ThankYou for everything

My dog has saved my life from serious depression, he is the reason I am living today. Thank you for this! Cheers, Sean

Most unfair thing about life? Dogs have so much less breaths to breathe. 💔

Dogs are a mirror of who and what we should and can be. Dog backwards is god, and dogs are his gift to us. Unconditional love, companionship, trust and forgiveness, always. Nothing truer than a dog, bless them.

I come from a country where there’s still a doctrine that men shall never cry in front of anybody. I never cried at my grandad’s funeral and he was my world.. Today my girl crossed her rainbow bridge and is running free in the sky.. I feel alone..and heartbroken. But I felt relieved watching the video and crying in the rain..on a park bench..no one arround..although while holding her tennis ball in my hand..I felt I was not alone. We don’t deserve dogs❤️💔

I lost my dog today, he changed my life forever. He taught me how to live strong and happy despite the odds. Rest is peace simba

"Until one has loved a dog, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" ~ Anatole France

Dogs are a reason for living....

I've had a dog by my side since I was 5. Going on 40-years of being a dog dad and 4-wonderful little beasts. My current buddy just turned 9. He's got a gray muzzle and slowing down a little but he's always there for me. I've been damaged by military service and relationships with people but I can't imagine living without a dog by my side. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think about all my old friends. I look forward to the day when we'll all meet again.

"When the right dog finds the right human". I love that line and great video.

Thanks for sharing, Dude. Only dog Lovers know the measure of such unconditional love and devotion. Blessings to all dog lovers out there.

Only another dog lover would understand! And I do!!

Lance, this video is beautiful. I appreciate your kindness and feel the loss of my 13 fur babies every day. I’m 85 years old, and will always remember each one which occupies a very special place in my heart. 🐾 🇺🇸

My dog that I watched grow up, just died today... Before I got him I had a dog that was old but he lived by my side for my first 8 years of my life.. this one that died today didn't watch and help me grow up but I helped him and watched him grow up... It's hard for me as it was when I lost my first dog in first grade, now I'm in eight... Even though they two were in a small part of my life I will always remember them, cause the ones we love the most in life leave phisically but there will always be in our hearts. Ik I'm not the only one who lost their dogs, but everyone that has can relate to eachother and everyone knows how it feels... Then might not be humans but you love them and sometimes maybe even talk to them like to humans, but to matter what, when they leave, you remember them forever untill the day you die.. RIP Riki und Roky, i'll never forget you two.. 💔💔💔

Dogs are not your whole life but they make your life whole....😢😭

The one true friend who will always be at your side even when you might not deserve it

74 dislikes? How can one possibly dislike such a heart warming video It did bring tears

It’s been almost 9 years since my Golden Retriever passed away. I miss her everyday.

It's been 5 years since my lab passed away. And I still miss her.

Dogs are 100% better than humans 😫😭😭😢😢😭😢😢😢😢😢😢

2 1/2 months ago I had to put down my 14yo lab. I feel like I lost part of myself that day. The unconditional love a dog has for a family cannot be replicated in anything else.

When he said “he was great to me” I fucking lost it I’m in a pool of tear rn

The purest souls.... if you have lost your furry friend best way to honor that love and bond you shared is to rescue another and give that love to another needy animal

thanks for the good cry.

If this does not touch your heart, you don't have one...

stumbled upon this today, 6 months after I lost my k9 best friend. I'd say he's sending me a sign 💕 love and light to anyone who has lost a loyal companion. it isnt easy.

Dogs are the most amazing gift one can have in their life. The bond is unbreakable and the love between pawrent and furbabe is the most truest form of LOVE your heart and soul can experience. 💜🐾❤🐾🙏

This is a heartwarming video of a bond between a man & his pet dog who passed away in old age 😭

Only who own a dog can understand the unconditional love towards each other.

I honestly watch this video a couple times a week. After I lost my Buddy This vdeo really helped me realize that getting a new dog is just the natural order of things. Nobody should feel guilty about getting a new dog. I got my new dog Duke in remembrance of Buddy. We are bonding quite well. Thank you so much for this video!

Absolutely beautiful. Their lives are never long enough, but the lessons they teach us, live on forever ❤

❤️ only a true dog lover could understand this wonderful video! I always wonder if my,Lab,would be mad at me for getting a new,companion,when his time comes. After watching this,I think he’d want me to give another,dog,as good of a life as I’ve given to him and he’s given to me ❤️

I miss my little guy tremendously every single day. He was my little shadow and I his. We sure had an amazing time throughout the years. Nothing can explain the love a true animal lover experiences with their pet. The single best life lesson/experience anyone could ever have.

It’s been almost 3 years since my shih-tzu passed away. I still can’t think about him without getting chocked up a bit. I miss you Tucker, maybe some day we’ll meet again 😔😭

Damn these onions!! 😭😪

Thank you for showing exactly how we all feel when we lose our beloved companions. It is a bond that can never be broken, even in death.

I lost my baby girl of almost 15 years a couple of weeks ago, the worst pain loss and guilt I have ever felt in my life. I love and miss you terribly Josie, I will see you at the gates

Entire volumes of poetry could be written about the love of a dog, but this beautiful video pretty much says it all.

Why you guys can't stay with us forever.... 😭

They are with us furever...always in our heart!😔💔🐕

My wife and I got a puppy 4 weeks ago. This morning I found out from my ex, that my best furry friend Leo passed away last night. He was a black Labrador/Staffordshire bull terrier cross that we (my ex and I) rescued from a kennel at 6 months old. So many amazing memories, but one thing that stands out above everything is the unconditional love that came from that beautiful animal. During the highs, and lows, he was there by my side, always happy for a hug, and always happy to listen. Rest in Peace Leo. In my heart always.

Over the last few years I’ve lost my mother, my father and sister. I cried harder, and for more days at the death of my last dog, than I did for my mother, father and sister - combined. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my mother, father and sister….but nothing can replace the love, devotion and bond between a man and his dog. Nothing.

What a touching video😪 ❤ Dogs are the best companions and sometimes I feel like we don't even deserve them!❤

Have you ever spelled dog backwards... Then you’ll know why their love is so unconditional... once in a while beyond understanding ... What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing ...

I come back to watch this on the anniversary of each of my dogs passing's every year, even with new dogs to take the pain away. People that have never had a dog always ask "Why would you get another one when you know you're eventually going to be left with all this heartache again?" It's true, every dog that has ever left us has taken a piece of our heart away with it. I still hurt missing each one of my dogs a few times a year, but people like us are born with more heart to give than the average person. All the loss eventually gets overtaken by the love that used to be there through the memories that still are. The heart may never mend back to what it was before, but we start off with a surplus to give so by the day we leave this world to meet all the furry friends we've lost throughout our lives we are back to an average size heart again, just in enough time for it to swell up back to it's starting size when we see them again.

The story made me cry and hold my dog tighter than I've ever hed her before, the love I have for her can not be measured. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful thing .

The feels... dogs have their way of drawing out our emotions...

Attention men, don’t live your life without experiencing a k-9 friendship such as this, it’s a life lesson ordained by God.

I lost my girl, Belle, to cancer 6 months ago. This video helped with the healing. Thank you.

“The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's.”Mark Twain

When you have a love like that you never forget it. My love was called Norton. When I pass. I know my Norton will be the first one to greet me. 😧 Thank you so much Lance for the great story. 💋

My Oscar and Roxy just passed and we just adopted our Koko. This was very much needed.

Just beautiful. Lost our beautiful Goldendoodle 12 days ago at 12.5. Such a huge part of our family, he'll remain in our hearts forever. Cherish every single moment with you dog, they're the best non human companion in the world. x

I said goodby to my shepherd yesterday after 13 years together. This video helps me grieve.

Best relationship in the world! If you haven't truly loved a dog a part of your soul hasn't been opened yet. Thanks, big hug!

I lost my dog Shelby when I was 8, she was 13 and had hip displasia and some sort of stomach problem, I cried my self to sleep for a month, I had lost my best friend since birth. She got me through some tough times but i know she is waiting for me.

No truer words ever spoken

i'm get old now .. down to my last two . loved them all

this never gets old

Anyone who says dogs don't know jealousy or discontent has never really loved a dog. They have every emotion that humans have. Their redeeming quality is they don't tend to dwell on the negative.

So spot on. Never break their trust, they will always have your back. Give them the best life possible. So unfair life is too short. Thank you for sharing..

I watch this about once a year just to remember all my girls. Winnie, Bailey, Daisy....I miss you ladies. Molly & Lucy are filling your paw prints nicely but no one will ever replace you.

The voiceover on this is VERY well done.

Watched this over and over so many times while wanting a dog for a few years, but just wasn't the right time in life to have one. Now I have the most beautiful chocolate lab that looks just like this one. Thank you for this amazing video of describing the beautiful K9 bond humans have. "It's an unbreakable bond, strong as a chord of 3 strands. When the right dog finds the right human, it's as if it always was, and always will be."

One week ago today right at this time as I write this my buddy Archie passed. I could not have found this video at a better time. RIP Arch I pray I see you and my other bud Ned again.

Took the words right out of my heart.

Wife: “It’s either the dog or it’s me!” Me:” bye then

This needs to be trending

Thank you so much for this. Since by baby passed 3 weeks ago I watch it everyday. God bless

I lost my 8 year-old doggie Flo through euthanasia 7 weeks ago! A Lab mix, she suffered with several long-term medical issues, the final being cancer! I adopted her about 3 years ago, my 5th adoption in 30 years- all adults/seniors, and they all rest under a large fir tree in my yard! Every one of these best friends taught me so much about life, and as I've grown older, now 74, I realize how each loss becomes ever more difficult to bare! This has truly been the most miserable 7 weeks of my life, that I can tell you! I had such incredible relationships with them all, such a very sweet and loving pals, and I love and miss them more than mere words can possibly express! Flo's departure has been especially hard, and it's impossible to describe my pain and grief! Dogs are a gift to man, and one of the best there is! Any true dog lovers out there will readily understand what I'm saying. Bless all doggies, and all of my loyal departed girls! And please remember, ADOPT, don't shop!

If there are no dogs in heaven I want to go where they went. Will Rogers

OMG! You were right about having tissues ready. The love of a dog is like no other.

My dog name is Taylor, me and my wife love her so much..thank you taylor for being with us

I'm sat here crying about my best friend mira. She died 7 years ago. She was mine from inwas 7 til I was 15. I'll never forget her

Dogs are the best That's all have to say There is no word that could describe them perfectly

Tear jerker, get out the hankies. It was a beautiful film. Thanks for sharing for us dog-lovers out there. You made my day.

I didn’t start crying until I saw the old dog’s name was gunner. That was my chocolate lab’s name and this short film touched on our special bond perfectly. Thank you.

You live a short time for your dog, your dog lives his entire life just for you.

I TOLD MYSELF I WASNT GONNA CRY BUT IM CRYING

This so got me. Beautifully done.

Dogs have made my life so much better...couldn't imagine life without dogs.

Why dogs are the best companions 1. They are always in good mood 2. They do not judge us for our flaws 3. They know when we are sad and how to comfort us 4. Even if they are in pain they will always try to make us happy 5. They will never abandon you for something better

I love dogs so much , this video really touched me. Thank you guys so much for this amazing video ❤️

Great job! This is beautiful and amazing.

I know just how you feel..my 80 lb.fur baby passed away on October 4th 2019 and still today not an hour goes by that I don't think about him, I miss him dearly..I hope to rescue another dog real soon ,because as I have always said"dogs are more loyal then humans "..God bless.

Dogs make life so much more vibrant. I couldn't possibly live without one. No one is as pure as a dog. If your lonely and looking for a friend, a dog is the best choice. The only being that won't betray you.

This is so incredible! You are so talented man!

Beautiful story. Beautiful narration. Beautiful music. Thanks for reminding us to treasure every moment we can with out beloved friend.

What a heartwarming video! It says it all. Thank you from the depths of my heart.

I literally started sobbing when he was at the grave. My dog died seven years ago and it still hurts.

That was fabulous... Great job. Voice-over was brilliant

Lovely. No words ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My dog simba passed away from old age in 2015 my mom got him when I was 4 years old we gave him a funeral with full military honors RIP simba 2004 to 2015 miss you buddy

I just lost my Peanut 2 weeks ago today. From her first breath to her last and every day in between for 14 years she was by my side through it all. She was the most stable & dependable part of my life. Her love & loyalty never waivered & without her I feel lost & empty. I still have my other six dogs but my relationship with her was different. I love all my dogs. I love all dogs period but she was a "soul dog" and they are different. I miss her so terribly bad. 4/28/07-5/26/21

Sweet. Accurate depiction.

I AM IN TEARS. THIS WAS SO SWEET

I lost my 10 yr old dalmatian named brownie today, she was the runt of the litter and no one would pick her. My brother ended up bringing her home back in 2009 and she instantly became a guardian angel to my family. Goodbye my sweet girl, I will always cherish your memory and tell your story to my children and grandchildren. I love you with all my heart forever.

I lost my rescue dog few weeks ago,hurts so deep,but now I know He rescued me ,
