Every bit of extra effort can make a difference in your rescue pet’s life, and honestly, it doesn’t take a lot to satiate their need for a tad bit more love and affection. Luckily, this rescue dog named Cactus doesn’t shy away from making his demands clear to his dad, including wanting him to hold him like a baby in this wholesome video. The post showed Mike Brown, who saved the pooch from the deserts of California, holding his four-legged companion in different baby holds that will easily make your day.
Instagram video shows rescue dog insisting on being held like a baby
Cactus’ life changed when he met Mike because he knew his dog dad would treat him no less than his own family, and it shows. This Instagram video of the rescue dog insisting his dog dad hold him like a baby and him agreeing to do so proved that perhaps they’re each other’s perfect companions. The caption explained how the pooch often “sits and stares” at his owner, waiting for him “to pick him up like a baby every single day!” The pup’s dad also doubts if the Cactus will “ever get over it.”
The first clip showed the furry boy sitting and staring at Mike, just like the latter said he would. The hooman then walked over to Cactus and lifted him in his arms like a baby before returning to his chair and facing the camera. The pawsome duo then sat and snuggled on the chair — the rescue dog with his owner, who gently rubbed his belly and set the pampering bar sky high. One position after another, including a cradle hold, and a whole lotta snuggles later, the pooch appeared to fall asleep because there’s no other place he’d rather be than his dad’s lap.
It’s significant to understand that rescue dogs might require more attention than a pet normally would, and this video of Cactus’ dad holding him like a baby establishes that. A little gesture goes a long way, especially concerning rescue or adoptive dogs. Returning to the Instagram post, commenters pointed out that the pooch will always remain Mike’s “baby” regardless of how old he grows. Several others praised him for building a trusting bond with the rescued pup and coming a long way from being strangers to each other’s forever companions.
