THIS is the heartbreaking moment a three-year-old boy releases the butterfly he’s lovingly raised from a caterpillar – only for his dog to immediately eat it.
Dad Danny Seddon uploaded a video of son Ronnie happily releasing his pet butterfly Ralph into the wild.
After tipping up the plastic container where Ralph had been safely spending his life, little Ronnie gave his pet his first taste of freedom.
“He’s free!” Danny could be heard exclaiming as the father and son watched plucky Ralph flutter away.
However, the butterfly didn’t get far before he caught the attention of the family’s dog Marvel.
As the butterfly started to explore the garden for the first time, the excitable pooch bounded over and gobbled it in one mouthful.
Horrified dad Danny yelled: “Oh s*** Marvel!
“You idiot. Marvel’s eaten him! Marvel’s just ate it!”
Meanwhile, poor Ronnie can be seen staring in disbelief at the shocking incident.
The video has since gone viral and has racked up over 3,000 likes.
One person said: “Crying!”
Another added: “hahahahaha that’s brilliant.”
