Dog is a man’s best friend, as this video demonstrates. A video of a dog sticking close to a man with heart illness is becoming viral on the internet. Brian Benson has cardiomyopathy, a disorder that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. During the treatment, though, his service dog remained by his side at all times.
A video demonstrating Mr Benson’s remarkable friendship with his dog Magnus is going viral on the internet. It depicts a 6-year-old labrador retriever standing near a hospital bed. The dog is seen following the man around everywhere. To console him, the pooch lays next to him.
Mr Benson stated on Instagram that his service dog was allowed to accompany him. “Having him there helped not only me, but he calmed my daughters as well. Magnus being with me 24/7 meant more to me than he will ever know. I am beyond grateful for my boy.”

Mr Benson revealed that he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy after experiencing chest pain and trouble breathing. Mr Benson, who has been exercising for 35 years, feels that his problem was caused by a family history of cardiac disease and heart attacks at an early age.
