We've experienced a heartbreaking loss that has changed our lives

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

This was an incredibly difficult video for us to put together - to go through all of those wonderful memories with Henry and the videos of all the visits to the hospital. We wanted to let you know where we've been. We wanted to let you know what's been going on and to thank you for being patient with us. Thank you for being here with us, for the incredibly sweet outpouring from you who are a member over on our Patreon page, Stepsof2Foreigners, saw our KZbin community post and/or if you follow us over on Instagram @bernardoandadam. Thank you! If you have a pet, please hug them extra tight for us and give them a big ol' kiss.

***OH, SWEET HENRY...YOU GUYS.....*** ...Bernardo is a wreck, just...a WRECK! (1:30) ...between the loss of his Niece & Henry.....I just.... I'm at a loss for words.....stay strong, SO2F.......🐕‍🦺😓 .................(10:51)........

[@crzybryseph]

Sending you both so much love! Henry will be greatly missed

[@BSGSV]

This was a hard video to watch. I am sure all your viewers are thinking of you and Henry today.

[@robbyfre981]

I go up to my gals grave every morning to start my day..she was 15 y.o.,thanks guys,takes time

[@EricT3769]

I couldn’t help but tear up because I know that same particular pain of loss. I’ve got ashes and a paw print too. You guys gave Henry his forever home, and although the time was too short, he knew he was loved the entire time. It was meant to be, and you now have such wonderful memories to cherish. The grief will slowly fade, but the fond memories will remain. Bless you both for making Henry’s last few months the best he could have. He enriched your lives and you his.

[@DavidHall-ge6nn]

I don't think there is a more profound representation of loss than the deep silence of the house and the pervasive feeling of emptiness. I'm so sorry your Henry is gone. He was loved. He is missed. That's all any of can ask for. You have my deepest sympathy.

[@RichardSmith-bm2us]

Ugh the loss of a dog any pet is like having your heart ripped out of your body. Sorry for your loss.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you for your heartfelt message. Losing Henry feels like losing a part of us - he was our family. Your support means a lot.

Very sad to hear the bad news! Sorry! Henry is a considerate and good boy, and he must be very happy to have such wonderful dads! You both must live happily for him every day! I believe he must hope you both to be happy every day!

[@danielsiminski5878]

ABSOLUTELY devastating news.....It is never easy losing our fur babies....sooo sorry for your loss...

[@RichNDNGuy]

Oh no I'm so sorry guys. That's a tough time. Furbabies are so special to us. ❤❤

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you, Shawn. Furbabies truly are special. We are beyond grateful for the time we had with Henry.

[@KarenRiley-m5z]

What wonderful dog parents . Henry won the lottery when he met you. Loved this tribute to your wonderful Henry. Thank you for sharing him with us all. Forever loved.

[@bobart45]

A difficult video to make and a difficult video to watch, but what a wonderful tribute to your boy, Henry. During my lifetime I’ve grieved the loss of 8 dogs who meant the world to me. I can’t imagine being without a canine companion. Hopefully, you’ll find another dog when you’re ready. Now that you know how much Henry contributed to your lives, you won’t be able to resist. The unconditional love and joy dogs bring to our lives is immeasurable. I grieve with both of you. 😢🐕🥰💐👍🏻 2:23

[@MikeBiltz-k8j]

What a wonderful tribute to Henry! Even in your tremendous grief you are able to show appreciation to your fans who loved him too. Henry would like that as he, too, gave his love so freely.

[@CanalEduFerrera]

They come back to us in another ways... hugs and love for you guys

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you for the kind words. We believe Henry's spirit will always be with us in different ways - that's why the bird nest meant a lot. We also saw many signs while he was in the hospital like the Northern Lights, many rainbows, special birds.

[@arlansun]

Oh, Guys. My heart is breaking. Henry was beloved by so many of us. As are you. Standing with you in the grief and in gratitude.

[@Imsickofallyallseeingmyname]

It's a sad video, but, you guys deserve a shout out for being caring and loving companions and parents to him

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

How kind - thank you so much. We did our best to give Henry all the love and care he deserved. Your words mean a lot to us. He deserved every bit of love but sad we didn't saw "love you" on our last physical visit with him.

[@richardmundy4288]

He came into your lives for a reason RIP HENRY

[@cortlandtjones2471]

God bless, Henry.

Plant some more flowers in your niece’s and Henry’s memory. My heart goes out to you both.

[@kennethbailey9853]

Many years I had a Dog Rescue and now I am old and am down to the last 5. I gladly gave up having a relationship so I could work with my huge canine family 24 hours a day. No regrets. Last year my helper Bella a wonderful Border Collie passed at age 18.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Kenneth, your dedication to your canine family is inspiring. I'm looking into volunteering at our local humane society. We're sorry for your loss of Bella. Henry's memory will always stay with us. He was beyond special.

[@GiuseppeBrame]

Forse per voi sarebbe meglio un volontariato con le persone o i bambini

[@nwauntie64]

I'm so sorry for your loss of sweet Henry. I sobbed during this video. We lost our 16 yr old pup just over a year ago, the pain and grief is real, its losing a part of our family. Henry loved you very much, he was wagging his tail non-stop in every video. He knew you loved him, very evident in the last time you saw him, he was saying goodbye. You both are great pup dads. Take care. From a fellow Oregonian.

[@jeromejackson1029]

Hardest thing I’ve ever done too! Wickett my Yorkie of 16 years and he passed away May 11, 2023. Deepest sympathy!

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you, Jerome. Our deepest sympathies for your loss of Wickett. Losing a beloved pet is incredibly hard. We feel your pain.

[@tomzandmicky8239]

I feel your heartache. RIP Henry. He was a very good boy.

[@calvinz3184]

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Henry was such a special part of your lives, bringing joy and love to your hearts. Losing a beloved pet is never easy, and my heart goes out to you both during this difficult time. May the memories of the happy moments you shared with Henry bring you some comfort. Please know you are in my thoughts. Henry can never be replaced. Remember that the love between you and Henry was boundless, and he loved you both deeply until his last day.

[@danjohnrob64]

You gave that beautiful dog the best life it was possible for him to live! There is another angel in heaven!

[@pedrohenriquerossimarculan5155]

For real I don't cry on my relatives' funerals, I am sobbing uncontrollably because someone's dog passed. Condolences by the way, we didn't need to be with you 24/7 to know that Henry was way more than a dog for you two. I'm sure he's in a better place now and will be always watching from above, taking care of you guys. Love and kisses from Brazil.

[@mikeyc4525]

I have no words to express how much I am sorry for your loss. As a fellow animal lover, I've had to say goodbye to a dear companion in the past. The pain is excruciating beyond description. I cried through your entire video. It's difficult for me since I'm an empath, feeling your pain, and the pain that I went through. At least he had the best life with you two. Much Love and Prayers for Healing and Closure.

[@ssmp2001]

You gave him your love. And he appreciated it. You are well done!

[@tvldude]

So very sorry to hear the passing of Henry. He was such a special and beautiful dog full of spunk. Listening to you both tell stories and show the pictures had me bawling. Losing our fur babies is so hard. I love that the birds used his hair for their nest and the sounds you heard are defiantly Henry letting you know how much he loved you both. Hugs to you both!

[@NTJo_1]

This was incredibly hard to watch. Thanks for sharing your amazing companion with us. ❤

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you for your kind words and for being with us for so long. Sharing Henry's journey was difficult, but we wanted to honor his memory. ❤

[@SuperShaunieshaun]

I used to frown whenever people referred to their dogs as emotional support. Then I got a dog, a beautiful fox red Labrador, and suddenly it all made perfect sense. She literally makes me smile every single day. So sorry for your loss. Henry was such a gorgeous dog. In your videos I could see on your faces the joy he brought to you...and the affection you gave to him.

[@louisnugen1248]

Was not expecting this. I cried through the whole video. I am so sorry guys for your loss. Henry loved you very much.

[@franktreml3145]

Lovely tribute for Henry. Our doggies are part of our family. It is so difficult when we have to say goodbye. I know what you are going through. You gave Henry a wonderful life xx

[@hankvansky2793]

I know he was a gift to you both, but what I see, is that you were a gift to him. I could see it in his eyes. Blessings

[@andrewingram3869]

Henry was beautiful. He will live forever in your hearts. When you feel right you should get another dog because you both have so much love to give.

[@judymuqtasid1341]

[@Donnie-Lee-Gringo]

7 Months for a dog's life is a very long time. Henry had you in his life for a long while and waits for you at the Rainbow bridge

[@sc0ttishlass]

My deep felt condolences. In the past 1.5 years we lost 5 of our 7 rescue dogs. We always had senior dogs, those that were not wanted anymore bc too old too sick, too traumatised and we know we are enjoying our furbabies on borrowed time. I think Henry chose you, because you could give him undivided love and attention and he knew you both needed him, too. Henry will always be special, just like the ones that will follow him and spend their lives with you in the future. Lot of hugs from Germany.

[@jungersrules]

Thank you so much for rescuing, for saving, by adopting your dogs. ❤

[@mikemorris7247]

I am so sorry for your loss. I know your grief and offer my sympathy and condolences

[@joewelch3781]

I lost the last two dogs within the last month and a half. They were so special. They were in the house for almost 14 years. They are missed so much.

[@michaelwerner3430]

What a gut punch, guys. My dog, also an adopted street dog, has been diagnosed with bone cancer, but unlike you guys, I've had her for 10 years. Our animals are so precious to us. I know I have very little time left with my pup. I'm so sorry you lost your pup, Henry. Saludos y bendiciones desde Chiapas, México.

[@calvinrussell7120]

We, your fans, will miss Henry and his antics and the fun the three of you allowed us to be part of by all that you shared. The pain of your loss is shared and we surround you with loving support.

[@jackcantell8051]

I was shocked and saddened this morning when I went to your KZbin channel and learned of the passing of Henry. You gave him so much love and he knew it and felt it. He will certainly be missed by you and by all of your loyal followers. We've been on this seven month journey with you and witnessed the love and joy he brought into your lives. You were such wonder dads for Henry. You were very blessed to have him in your lives, and he was blessed, as well, to have you in his. You, along with all of us, will always remember Henry.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

All of my dogs over the decades taught me that beyond grief there is the purity of connection. In that place, there is no loss and not one moment of feeling that something was missed within the connection. When that place is known in a lasting way, it is hallelujah.

[@StevenJones-qw5py]

Beautiful tribute. So very sorry for your loss. Love your content and the love of Henry literally leaps off the screen.

[@jonde8073]

You're his dads, he touched your hearts and many of our hearts also. Love and condolences to you both.

[@matthewjohnson2423]

Sorry for your loss! I was holding it together until the birthday and squeezing of the toy. Brought back memories of my own dog from many years ago.

[@genevievelabieniec8218]

Thank you for taking such good care of Henry and for loving him so much. Our beloved cat, Penny, passed nearly three years ago, after quite a long illness. There's an old saying that goes, People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or for a lifetime. So do animals. Much love.. . many prayers. Ron and Pat, from CT. ❤

[@scottbrown7579]

Wow. I am so sorry about Henry. I completely relate as we have a cattle dog named Wylie who is so important to us and our relationship. I can just imagine the pain. Sending kind wishes. Know that the greatest gift we can give our furry friends is a loving home, and the second is knowing when to let them go.

[@dianehess3706]

Hugs, love and peace to you both. Having fur babies, including those without fur, is a joy. They’re your kids. It’s hard when they pass. Just remember the joy they brought you and the adventures you shared and the love they gave you. Your friend Diane ❤

[@lorinells4036]

What a shock! So sorry for your loss. Losing a dog is incredibly hard. 😢🐾

[@jeffwatkins352]

It's losing a beloved member of your family. If there's consolation to be had, it's knowing you made Henry as happy as he made you. And you'll always have those memories. And it's so brave of you to, never mind generous, to share this with us so soon after your loss.

[@vanessawagner9607]

So very sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to lose a fur baby, cherish your memories with him, he was so loved by the both of you. RIP Henry, watch over your Daddy’s. They loved you so much!

[@johnindy7164]

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was shocked how long I cried. I never had a pet, nor did my children as they grew up. My son got a golden retriever several years ago and my heart has melted. In fact, I am at their home for the next few days babysitting as they are on vacation. Love my time with her and like Henry she gives so much love! My thoughts and love your way!!

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you, John. Pets have a way of melting our hearts. We're glad you're experiencing that joy with your son's golden retriever. Your thoughts and love are appreciated. Please give your son's dog a big extra hug from us.

[@boetaque]

I'm so sorry for your loss. You guys gave Henry a great, loving life. He's in a better place now...RIP sweet Henry, we will miss you!

[@YananoBere]

Henry came into your lives at a very difficult and vulnerable time, and the unconditional love he gave you really nourished your souls. It shows, even though you're grieving. Praying you are comforted and thanks for giving him the love, care and compassion he needed too.

[@stevenpinkal4932]

So sorry for your loss. Henry was a sweet, innocent, gentle soul, such a good breed. Having lost a few dogs myself, I feel your pain. You gave him his best life. 😢 ❤

So sorry for your loss, Adam and Bernardo. Henry looked like an amazing dog and brought you so much joy to you and your home. May you both be comforted that he is no longer suffering.

[@mikecloonan6525]

Sorry for your loss. I had a 15 yr old chi/dachshund, Tito, who I rescued at 5 months old. He was my travel buddy, my nighttime talk buddie. At 15 yrs old he had cancer. Worst day of my life. He has been gone 5 yrs, I still miss him.

[@MattClark-u8m]

Guys, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m in tears listening to your story.

[@escpat]

Oh gosh, I couldn’t help but teared up as I was watching this video. Henry was so young. Losing a pet suddenly so at such young age is heartbreaking. Please try to take comfort from the fact that you guys have given the best life Henry has ever had in the last 7 months of his short life. I had a similar experience when I lost my baby in 2017. He was just 8 years old. As a matter of fact, my baby looked much like Henry. He was a cockatoo, very goofy and playful. He was my shadow.

[@Stepsof2Foreigners]

Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind words. It's comforting to know others have gone through similar experiences which we can see from these comments. We're grateful for the time we had with Henry, short as it was. Awe, your baby was adorable then, their personalities were the best!

[@iamzarabullock]

I think you two were amazing dog dads! I’m so happy you were able to have Henry in your lives the past 7 months. Sending you both love and prayers. Thank you for being willing to share this moment and update with us. Love you two! ❤

[@davidcundy]

The loss of a pet is the loss of a family member. He will remain in your hearts forever.♥

[@CarlTippins]

I'm so sorry for your loss. As a long time dog daddy, I know how difficult it is to loose your pet. They truly are like your children and are part of your family. I think Bernardo was right when he said you two needed him and he needed you. You gave him the best life he could have possibly had. The gifts Henry gave you, and you gave him, go beyond human understanding and are immeasurable. Treasure the memories of your time together. This news hits especially hard to me right now because I have some very dear friends who also just lost there less than 1 year old dog. Their dog had a complete liver shut down that the vets said he could not recover from.

[@domsadventures5584]

My two small dogs passed almost ten years ago, their photos are in our hallway, their bowls are still in our kitchen and their ashes are mixed together in an urn that is in our living room. I still think of them almost everyday. I am so sorry for the lost of Henry, you guys are in my taughts...

[@broncoguy4862]

Looks like Henry was blessed with a forever home full of love. Sorry for your loss, guys.

[@martinvandernaald5093]

It's always hard to lose a dog. All my love to you both!

Thank you, Martin. Losing a dog is incredibly hard, but your love and support mean a lot to us.

[@sjbennett7130]

Awwww B - you will be an amazing Dad….you had love to give broke me xxxx Hope you do share your love again x

[@tigergreg8]

I'd like to say the feeling goes away, but it doesn't, it just gets a little easier. There is a reason why we are allowed to have these beautiful animals in our lives, because they are a source of great comfort to us. But rest assured, animals, like us, live on in the Spirit World, and will be seen again. I know some don't believe that, but it doesn't make it not true. Life itself is never ever created to be destroyed. Not even a blade of grass will go away, it just moves on to a better place, the same as we will. He's happy, he's with other animals running around, enjoying his time, and will know when you pass from this life to the other.

[@geraldeaton4459]

My heart goes out to both of you. I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a family pet. It's been over 12 years since my dog passed and there are times I feel I'm still not over his loss. All I can say is that time heals all wounds.

[@glenmorrison2919]

Henry is in doggy heaven with heavenly fathers house doing what he knows best is playing eating and sleeping. One thing is there is no more pain he is free. And he is looking down on you Adam and Bernardo and the rest of the Steps family. Watching this video is was hard for me too I had tears flowing out of my eyes and down the side of my face. Henry has shown everyone what kind of a dog we is and was and still is ( We all thank you Henry very much for just being you ). Time to get another doggy as soon as possible. Adam and Bernardo you can do it again to get another doggy. Remember Aaron and Jonathan dog Koda passing away and now they have Bandit there newest dog.. ❤❤❤

[@c.rincon7145]

Henry knew that you both were his world. Losing a dog pet is an incredibly profound loss. I'm so so sorry for your loss. He is on the Rainbow Bridge waiting to meet you all again.

[@mikemeyer6265]

Only 7 months? They just come into our lives and steal our hearts. You gave him the best and he gave you more.

[@rutgerdejong1660]

O guys, this bring me back to the loss of my 2 dogs and 2 cats. That feeling of total sadness, grief and missing them is so hard and heavy. You will find your way with dealing with those feelings more and more as time passes, but of course you always wish they would still be there. I'm wishing you lots of strength and comfort. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. 😢

[@steverdms]

I am soooo sorry. God that was so hard to even watch.

I have lost both dogs and cats over the years, so I know how it rips your heart out when they go. Needless to say, I was shedding tears throughout the video. They were not only for beautiful Henry, but for both of you knowing how hard this was to make and share. Another great reminder of the things that are truly important in life.

I am very sorry for your loss guys, I have also lost some puppies. It feels horrible, saying goodbye to them is not easy, then you understand that they come into our lives to make us happier, they fulfill their mission and then they leave us. So feel happy that you had nice memories with him. Another puppy will arrive later to brighten their lives again, and they will love him too.
