#1 If you love dogs, this little story may make you weep copiously. So grab some tissues and read on.

#2 A tweet going viral tells the heartbreaking tale of a dog who only eats half her food.

Twitter user @_EasyBreasy_ has shared the story of his two dogs Stitch and Cookie that's now collectively breaking the hearts of all dog lovers who read it.

#3 Since being posted on June 11, the tweet has collected over 41,000 'likes' and more than 19,500 retweets on the microblogging site.

#4 The tweet was retweeted by more than 20,000 people – and has left people feeling absolutely devastated for Cookie

#5 He wrote.

"So we have only one food bowl for my two labs. And my dog Stitch trained my other dog Cookie to only eat half of the food that's in the bowl. So ever since she was young she knew to leave half of the food so Stitch can have some (he liked to make sure she would eat.)"

"Now Stitch recently passed away. And this is Cookies first time alone. So since Stitch is gone, I've been feeding Cookieless food. Well before I went to bed, I wanted to check to see if she ate. And so I did, and she still left half of her food there so Stitch can eat."

#7 Twitter responded with a compendium of every sad face GIF on the internet.

#8 Easton told Metro.co.uk that Cookie is the ‘kindest dog’ you could ever meet.

He said: ‘She is always licking ya and no matter what if you are talking to her she is wagging her tail. She loves my entire family and also loves to play. She gets nervous easy (especially during storms).’

‘Her and Stitch were very close. They were like brother and sister,’ he added.

#9 ‘They took care of each other and cared for one another. As you can tell from the story she does miss him’

Yes, our hearts are breaking and yes, we just want to give Cookie a massive cuddle and tell her everything is going to be alright.

#10 it's really heartbreaking—but also uplifting because dogs are sweet.

#11 Take the emotional response you're feeling right now and go adopt a dog, no matter how irresponsible that is for your current lifestyle.

Change everything if you have to. Just go get a dog and hug it. If you already have a dog, get another one. But don't get another food bowl.
