Instagram video shows how senior dog experiences road trips differently now
An Instagram video shows a senior dog, Jake, experiencing road trips in a different yet comfortable way. According to the clip, the pooch loves long car rides with his owner. When he was young, he used to love “sticking his head out the window during car rides and feeling the wind in his fur.” But now, he is 17.5 years old and unable to do so.
Therefore, the paw parent has made a cozy space for Jake, adding pillows on the seat. He can now lie down comfortably and enjoy his road trips. In the video, the senior dog looks relaxed as he watches the snowy scenery from the car window. A few lines on the clip explain, “He still loves the window down but he lays with his pillow and Dino and enjoy the breeze.” It further states, “It’s all about making little adaptations as they age to maintain their comfort and happiness.”
Meanwhile, viewers find the senior dog road trip video “adorable” and “wonderful.” A user commented, “He looks so cozy and happy!” while another said, “Bless his beautiful heart thank you for making this baby so comfortable!” Some appreciated the owner for her “genuine” love and care for her aging pet. One wrote, “Jake you are just taking life in stride beautifully with your loving family.”
Since the upload, the Instagram dog video has received almost 32K likes.
