Recently, a user named @cactustherescue shared a heartwarming reel of their canine named Cactus. The profile focuses on the pooch’s endless adventures with his human, Mike Henry Brown. In the aforementioned video, we see the rescue puppy having a wholesome time on Halloween. The video-on-text mentions how the dog ended up getting disqualified from the costume contest at the festival.
The dog dad shares how Cactus was going to the Halloween party of Shrek. However, the paw parent feels that the pup won’t like the costume anymore. He tries to put the pooch in the costume, but he refuses to wear it. As such, the dad decides to take Cactus without a costume. The duo reaches the party, where Brown reveals how the pup wasn’t excited about putting on a Shrek costume, and he didn’t want to force his pet.
Despite not wearing an outfit, Cactus has a lot of fun at the party. He gets treats and interacts with the guests and pups. Further, Brown points out his pup doesn’t have his costume on, and he is still fitting in and being a good boy. The dog’s fun has no limits with kids approaching him warmly. The reel comes to an end with Cactus and his dad taking a beautiful picture.
Moreover, the paw parent expresses his feelings in the caption, “Cactus wasn’t feeling his Halloween costume, so I didn’t make him wear it.” “Not worth stressing him out. We showed up as ourselves and still had a blast,” he continued.
At the time of writing, this clip has garnered over 300k views and more than 15k likes. Netizens also gave their reactions, with one commenting, “You are a great dog papa! Cactus is the cutest.” Another one said, “Hello? Cactus went as Cactus. He already won!”
