It's terrible to lose a pet; they're members of our families.

But there's nothing sadder than an elderly couple losing a pet that keeps them company and is their reason for living.

Miguel and Ada Rojas had a 3-year-old Chihuahua and they took him everywhere with them.

They dressed the little pup in outfits and found so much joy in their precious pooch; they just loved him so much!

Then one fateful day, their beloved Chihuahua was attacked by stray dogs and killed. The couple was absolutely heartbroken.

And they were so distraught that both had to be taken to the hospital.

Poor Miguel's blood pressure shot through the roof, while Ada had to be given 100 stitches from trying to save their little dog.

Their daughter explained what her parents instilled in her, saying that "dogs are family, and money is nothing compared to their unconditional love."

The Rojas were all devastated and understandably so.

The following day, their story of how they lost their beloved pup was on the local news.

One viewer's heart ached upon hearing the story and decided to do something to help... They got the grieving couple a 9-week old Chihuahua puppy!

Ada and Miguel were surprised and very overwhelmed, and they took the little puppy in their arms and cried tears of joy.

Watch the touching video below; you'll be in tears by the end of it, I promise!
