Ask any dog parent, and they’ll tell you some toys are just different. They are not chew targets or fetch items; they’re best friends. That’s certainly the case for Boomer the Samoyed, whose emotional attachment to his stuffy toy, Bear, recently turned into an emergency worth documenting. When Bear ripped a seam, Dr. Boomer assisted his owner in a full “surgery,” complete with pre-op prep, moral support, and post-op recovery. As far as doggy devotion goes, this one deserves an honorary veterinary degree.
Dog is worried for favorite toy as owner patches up wound in adorable video
In the latest Instagram video posted on @life.with.a.landcloud, Boomer gently carries Bear in his mouth and delivers him to his owner for help. The toy had a visible tear — described humorously in the video as a “level 3 wound” — that required immediate attention. Soon after, the dog and his owner lays Bear down and covers him with a small sheet to “prep” for the operation. At one point, Boomer leans in and rests his head gently on the toy, as if to comfort it. His owner then begins stitching up the tear, with the Samoyed watching closely, never straying too far from his injured friend.
The “surgery” may have been a success, but Bear wasn’t out of the woods yet. His owner explains to Boomer that Bear needed a bath. However, as soon as she places the toy in the washing machine, the canine steps in, attempting to pull him out. According to her, Boomer knows all too well how unpleasant baths can be and didn’t want Bear to endure the same ordeal. Despite his protests, Bear got his much-needed rinse, and the dog stood watch nearby. The video ends with a clean, stitched-up Bear reunited with Boomer, who curls up with his best friend for a well-earned nap.
If your dog has ever shredded a beloved toy within minutes, you’ll appreciate the rare tenderness on display here. Boomer wasn’t about to let Bear suffer alone, and the internet took notice. “The paw and he kept his head on bear for moral support” said one person, clearly moved by Boomer’s bedside manner. Meanwhile, others joked about their own dogs’ less delicate approach: “And here’s my dog disemboweling her stuffies in 3.5 seconds.” Many praised Boomer’s loyalty, with one fan calling him “the best friend anyone could ask for.”
