He and another worker were then shown carefully escorting the pooch up the conveyor and onto the plane.

“Daphne’s first flight and my heart melted when I saw how careful they were with her,” the woman commented with the video posted to social media.

“Thank you, Virgin Australia ground staff.”

People commented on the video, calling the interaction “beautiful” and “heartwarming”.

“This is so beautiful, all the love and respect for people like this,” said one social media user.

“Looks like the puppy found a new friend,” said another.

In a similar video that went viral last year, a Virgin Australia baggage handler captured hearts across the country after a passenger filmed the moment he stopped to chat to and make sure a pet being loaded onto the plane was OK.
