Fur babies often need their owners’ help even if they have grown up. This Instagram video shows how a dog mom comes to the rescue of her Newfoundland named Augustus (Gus). The clip shows the pooch is afraid to step outside the door. He is hesitant to step on a grilled floor tile, presumably because he fears his foot will get stuck in it. Despite his pet parents’ encouragement, he holds back from coming outside. In the caption, the uploader expresses the dog’s thoughts, saying, “I was really trying to be brave.. thanks mom.”
Adorable video shows mom stepping in to help big dog
In a cute dog video on Instagram, an owner helps her Newfoundland, Augustus (Gus), step outside. The clip features a black furry pooch, holding himself back from stepping outside. It appears he is afraid of the gridded floor tile set in front of the door. He tries to lift his paw and take the leap, but hesitates each time.
Meanwhile, his dog mom tries to encourage him and boost his confidence to take the step. She tells him to “be brave” and uses a gentle voice. Gus attempts to put his paw a little outside the boundary, but retracts as the fear kicks in. When the mom realizes he will not cross over, she covers the tile with her jacket. This eases the tension, and Gus finally comes outside. Furthermore, the dog dad, who is recording the moment, says, “Mommy to the rescue!”

A user commented, “He got scare bears for a second there.” Another quipped, “Modern problem require modern solutions.” Some called him “big brave bear” and “a little boy inside.” Moreover, the clip has received over 1K likes at the time of writing.
