Widower-grandpa breaks down after his family surprises him with a puppy
Husband and wife were inseparable for 63 years.
After she died from illness in July, 85-year-old François Vermeir was grief-stricken as he had "lost someone special".
Just before her death, the couple's dog died.
So his family decided to give him a surprise that will "give him the energy and courage to continue his life".
Grandson Davy Vanhaesendonck, who shot the video, said they bought him a puppy last week.
Make sure you have tissue nearby because the grandfather's reaction is certainly an emotional one.
Moved to tears
All we're revealing is the puppy's name.
A Yorkshire Terrier, it's called Snoopy.
Watch the video and be moved to tears.
