USA - Bosco's owners had been looking for a new home for the black male for a good six months. A family finally discovered the dog on Facebook and took him in. Then came a sweet surprise.

As the new owners happily discovered, Bosco has a very special talent: the four-legged friend is incredibly emphatic.

To share their dog's emotional intelligence with their followers, Bosco's new family uploaded a video to TikTok on Thursday, which quickly went viral.

Several shots show how the four-legged friend reacts intuitively to events in the family, shares their ups and downs and supports them.

On the very first day, the dog cuddled intimately with the daughter and the two quickly developed a close bond. Even when the family's second dog was in a bad way, Bosco did not leave his side until the end.

Dogs are known to be incredibly intuitive animals and can sense and recognize the feelings around them.

Since taking Bosco in, the family has experienced first-hand how much the dog supports them in good times and bad.
