Dutch zookeeper Mario, 54, is dying of cancer and only has weeks to live. He has spent the majority of his life cleaning the giraffe enclosure at the Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo in Rotterdam, Holland. But before he passed away he wanted to say a very special goodbye. So he asked for his hospital bed to be wheeled into the same enclosure he spent so many years cleaning. “These animals recognized him, and felt that (things aren’t) going well with him,” says Kees Veldboer, founder of the Ambulance Foundation to Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad. It was “a very special moment. You saw him beaming.” After saying goodbye to the giraffes, Mario, who is mentally disabled, took a moment to say goodbye to his fellow coworkers.
