Heart-breaking footage shows a toddler getting her beloved dog his daily treat from the cupboard - only to be left confused when her pet doesn't appear because he's been put down. Chloe Simmons and her family were forced to make the difficult decision to have their Staffordshire bull terrier Bruce put down last week as the 11-year-old dog had aggressive cancer.
The 26-year-old had bonded the much-loved mutt with her one-year-old daughter Billie-Ann Faraway since she was just a baby, with the doting animal making her giggle and following her around protectively. But in a moving clip the little girl can be seen reaching into the kitchen cupboard to grab Bruce a treat, only to turn round to offer it but be left confused when her companion doesn't appear.
The video has since received more than 3.9million views online - while Chloe has vowed Bruce will never be forgotten. Chloe, from Grays, Essex, said: "We all cried the first few times Billie-Ann went up to the cupboard. She did it the night he passed away which choked the whole family up. If she cried as a baby Bruce would run to her side. She has a ball pit that she’d throw balls out of for him.
