Ol Boy was a dog who lives most of his life on the streets.

Found bruised and broken, this pooch was on his last legs but he never felt any love from anyone.

Until his final days…

Covered in ticks and lesions and unable to move, Ol Boy taken home by Save Our Street Dogs, a Singaporean rescue organization.

Ol Boy was taken to the vet and other dogs at the shelter helped comfort him as well as the caretakers.

The dying pooch survived on air conditioning water and leftovers until he was finally given a warm environment for the first time.

He stood up to drink some water at 2 AM one night, he died two hours later, peacefully in his sleep.

Watch the heart-wrenching tale (above) of a dog who was finally treated well after years of suffering.

So sad…RIP Ol Boy
