There’s something timeless about the connection we share with our four-legged friends.
From a pup’s playful frolics to the tender affection of an older dog, these are the moments that warm our hearts and create memories.
The adorable video comes from the YouTube channel “Life with Malamutes,” which has over 940K subscribers.
It starts with the baby of the family Nathan, sitting in the living room, his eyes filled with wonder.
Enter Buddy, a golden retriever pup who’s still a little wet from the rain.
The dog walks over to his tiny friend and plops down next to him.
Nathan, taken aback by the sudden cold sensation, starts to cry.
Buddy, sensing the change in mood, wears an expression that’s a mix of guilt and worry.
It’s as if he’s thinking, “Oh no, what have I done?” and wishes he could find a way to console the young boy.
There’s a moment, a pause, where Buddy seems to gather his courage.
He moves closer to Nathan, but this time, he’s more gentle, more deliberate.
But does Nathan accept his apology? Absolutely!
Buddy very sweetly lays down next to his tiny human whose tears have dried up.
I mean, how can you stay upset at a creature with a face like that?
Nathan pats Buddy on the paw as if saying, it’s okay, I forgive you.
“Golden retrievers are just so wholesome, ful of love and just am to please all the time, they’re the perfect family pet all round. Buddy is a brilliant example but we wouldn’t be without our giant fluffy malamutes!”
