Tim Tebow is one of the best people out there. The former Heisman winner and current New York Mets farmhand moves up another few notches in the eyes of animal lovers as he posted a bittersweet video of him saying goodbye to his dog, Bronco.

According to ET, Tebow said he had to put Bronco to sleep on Wednesday, but did not detail why. He shared multiple photos as a tribute to his “son,” raised from a pup.

“One of the toughest goodbyes. Wanted to make a special tribute to the sweetest boy ever — thank you for all the joy you brought and all the memories,” Tebow wrote. “… If you had the pleasure of meeting Bronco, one of the best dogs ever.”

After Tebow was selected by Denver with the 25th pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft, he received a gift: a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, who he named Bronco.

“It made sense when I just got drafted by the Broncos,” Tebow said in a 2018 interview with AOL.com. “We’ve always liked the name, we always liked that truck, so we talked about it and we were like, yeah, that’s really cool.”

Im so thankful and humbled by everyone’s support, prayers and love. I was able to lay Bronco to rest in a really special place. Thank you all for so much encouragement. I love you Bronco, thanks for being the sweetest boy

May Tebow and Bronco’s friends and family find solace in these grief-stricken times in the Rainbow Bridge poem.
