He was fired from his job and his video of him crying over having to leave his dog in the country moved everyone.

A heartwarming video has become the center of attention on social media, touching the hearts of millions.

Víctor Díaz, a Paraguayan farmhand working in a field in San Vicente, Buenos Aires province, shared his farewell on TikTok after being laid off from his job. But what has truly moved his followers is not just his job situation, but the heartbreaking scene of a farm dog following him, unaware it would never see him again.

In the video, which has already accumulated more than a million views on TikTok, Víctor, his voice cracking with emotion, describes the moment he left the place where he worked for 11 years. As he walked with his bag in hand, the dog followed him, faithful as ever, unaware that this would be the last day they would share. “Poor thing, he follows me, thinking I'm still going to work. I said I wasn't going to cry, but I see this dog and I cry. My faithful friend, I'm going to miss him so much,” the worker expressed. His account, @victordiaz981, where he regularly shares snippets of his life in the fields, has more than 831,000 followers who were quick to react with messages of support and solidarity.

The video shows Víctor walking away through the rural landscape, followed by the dog walking a few meters behind him. The scene, loaded with symbolism, reflects not only the connection between man and animal, but also the loss of a shared routine that marked their days. Through tears, Díaz also took the opportunity to send a message to those who watched: “Take care of your job, I'm going to miss this too. But hey, don't worry, we'll find something better.” His words, full of hope despite the adversity, resonated with users, who quickly began mobilizing to offer help.

Víctor's community of followers was quick to show their empathy. Some urged him to take the dog with him, while others suggested ways to help him financially or find him a new job. "Take him, friend, and share a nickname, we'll help you here," commented one user. Another asked for collective help: "Someone in the area, give him a job doing what he does. Let's make it viral, please. It breaks my heart." The support extended beyond words, with many followers pledging to find employment opportunities for the rural laborer.

In a previous video, Díaz had recounted how he was fired, though without giving specific details about the reason. “What had to happen happened. My boss fired me, 11 years later, Friday at 4 o'clock. Thank you, boss, for putting up with my craziness and stupidity for so long. You were a good and bad boss. I hope your farm continues doing well without me,” he expressed with a mixture of gratitude and resignation. He also mentioned his hope for the proper payment and asked for help finding a new job.

Over the years, Víctor had documented his rural life through TikTok, showcasing everyday tasks such as working with cows and riding horses on the farm's extensive grounds. His routine, captured in hundreds of videos, had gained popularity among the platform's users, who enjoyed his authentic accounts of rural life. However, some followers speculate that this exposure on social media may have influenced his dismissal, as they claim his employer wouldn't have appreciated him sharing details of his work online.

The story of Víctor Díaz and his faithful four-legged companion has transcended social media, reminding us of the importance of empathy and solidarity in difficult times. Meanwhile, the rural worker clings to the hope of a better future, driven by the love and support of thousands of people who , even though they don't know him personally, have decided to lend a hand.
