Peace out darling: The emotional moment when mother dog gives her puppy her last kiss before being taken away by her new owner

A heartbroken mother dog was forced to say goodbye to her puppy after it was adopted in central China.

The mixed-breed stray pooch has been under the care of students at Zhengzhou University in Henan province and had given birth to a litter of seven puppies mid-September.

The video, filmed on Monday, shows the heavy-hearted mother giving her brown pup one final kiss before sending it off with its new owner.

The female owner was seen carrying the small pup in her arms to her scooter while the worried mother trailed after them.

With its head hanging low, tail down and ears drooping, the mother dog stopped next to the owner’s scooter, as if to beg to look at her baby one more time.

The owner lowered the small pooch to its mother, who licked its face and kissed it goodbye.

‘Don’t worry, I will take good care of your puppy,’ the owner was heard reassuring the mother dog.
