Blumenau, Brazil - There was a touching moment at a wake in Brazil: as everyone gathered to mourn the deceased, his horse was led into the room. The animal's reaction to her human's casket didn't just move the people present – it's now a viral hit online.

Last Monday, family members and relatives gathered for the funeral of 70-year-old Pedro Krug in a chapel in Blumenau, Brazil.

Krug's human friends and family weren't the only ones at the wake: Nina, a mare, was also invited.

A now-viral video shows the animal being led to her human's casket.

When the horse sees her late owner, she lets out a shrill, pain-filled whinny.

In the background, those present start sobbing and whimpering even more dramatically after the animal's emotional reaction.

The mare even nudges her human's casket with her nose before being soothed by Krug's daughter, Daiane.

Daiane made sure that the horse would have the opportunity to bid farewell to her human.

"He taught her to offer her hoof (to 'shake hands'), and he used to ask her to rest her head on his shoulder – and she would," she told Need to Know.

Krug and his mare were inseparable for the eight years before his death. The deceased had trained the horse to work with children.

Their close relationship came to an abrupt end when Pedro received a devastating diagnosis of multiple brain tumors in November.

After being discharged from the hospital, the senior had to move in with his daughter, who cared for him until his death.

Due to Krug's condition, the animal lover was only able to see his horse three more times before his death.

With more than 50,000 likes since it was first posted, the video of Nina mourning her human has the internet sobbing.
