This is the heart-warming moment a terminally ill woman is granted her 'dying wish' as her beloved dog visits her in hospital.
The adorable brown animal leaps up onto the hospital bed to snuggle up with its owner Rebane Chili, who lays on her back as surrounding doctors watch on.
In the touching footage, Ritchie appears determined to stay as close to its owner as possible while waggling its tail in excitement.
Tearful staff and patients record the moment on their mobiles, with one man unable to resist the chance to stroke the loving and loyal dog .
According to news site Canal 10 , the 49-year-old patient was admitted to Hospital Ernesto Dornelles in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil with terminal cancer.
She made the request to see her pet as her final wish.
The meeting took place on October 30 last year but has gone viral this week after it was shared on social media.
Speaking about Ms Chili, group psychologist hospice hospital Cristine Barbara Heck told snt.com: "She was entering a process of greater recollection.
"Every time we think about the quality of life, we think of relationships.
"It is to be with those people, relatives and dear friends, as in this case."
