A kiss from a giraffe for dying zookeeper

[Maurice Boscorelli]

A kiss from a giraffe for dying zookeeper as he is wheeled in his hospital bed to say a final farewell to the animals he cared for

• 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
• 

These wonderful people are doing some great work and need to be recognized for it.
