A pet will always remain a baby for their owners no matter how much they grow up, and a recent video of a dog proves just that. Internet sensation Maui might be over nine years old, but to his mom, he’s “just a baby.” The owner shared an adorable video on Instagram, setting the record straight on the concept of “dog years.” In what the owner called a guide, she documented Maui’s growth from being a pup to a senior dog. Although the Golden Retriever grew big and fluffy with time, he only grew to become more adorable, marking a viral and relatable moment among netizens.
Dog owner proves pup will always be ‘just a baby’ with adorable video
Golden Retriever Maui is only growing popular with each passing day. The Instagram account @maui_thegoldenpup shared a relatable video with their 828K followers, capturing how the canine grew with time but will forever remain the owner’s baby. The pet parent captioned the post, “I don’t like to talk about my dog’s age cuz he is forever my little baby.” The clip showcased the dog’s journey from 0 to 9+ years, calling it a guide to “dog years.”
The video began with a little Maui looking curiously towards the camera, offering a sweet throwback to fans when the dog was 0-1 years old. The next clip saw the owner gently rubbing almost 3-year-old Maui’s head. The Golden Retriever let out a cute smile, seemingly loving the pats from his parent. The owner proceeded to document their pet when he was between 3-8 years old, and it was as adorable as it could get.
An almost 8-year-old Maui, who grew a little taller as compared to the previous clip, still maintained the same smile as he lay his paws on the owner’s lap. The final snippet shifted to the present with the senior Maui playing tricks with his parent. Throughout the video, the dog never loses his childlike innocence, proving that he will always be “a baby” to everyone.
Maui might be a senior dog now, but his siblings help him keep the child inside him alive. Fellow Golden Retriever Hugo and Corgi Ruby accompany their brother in his baby-like antics.
