Folks, the video you’re about to see will probably bring a tear to your eye…but read all the way until the end of the article, and you’ll walk away with a smile on your face.

A man named Ell posted a video of a dog named Jakey with a text overlay that reads, “He’s waiting, but she’ll never arrive.”

In the video’s caption, Ell explained, “Jakey’s previous elderly owner passed away and he was taken to the shelter after 12 years of life with her. His whole world was changed and it’s taken him over 6 months with me to finally calm down and relax into his new home.”

Ell added, “I have discovered the dog beneath the anxiety and worry that was his daily life since she passed. I love him so much and think about what he got up to before me. What did he look like as a puppy? I wish I could see.”

Check out the video.
