The heartbreaking moment a giraffe gives dying zoo worker a kiss goodbye·       

The 54-year-old, known only as Mario, is suffering from a terminal cancer that has left him with weeks to live

He spent most of his life working at Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo in Rotterdam, Holland, cleaning out the giraffes’ enclosure

He asked that hospital bed be wheeled into the giraffe enclosure so he could say goodbye to the animals he knew

In heartbreakingly – touching scene, one giraffe approached Mario, in his portable hospital bed, and gave him a kiss

His dying wish was granted by the Ambulance Wish Foundation charity that grants dying wishes to the terminally ill
