In a viral Instagram video, a dog transforms from an intimidating figure to a soft and cuddly companion, melting hearts online. User @diesel_dobie shared the video, featuring Diesel the Doberman. The canine takes a daunting stance in the first clip, only to reveal an inviting face when his owner shows his affection.
Instagram video shows how a Doberman’s expression changes with love
A dog named Diesel garnered much attention online for a drastic transformation, captured in an Instagram video. The Doberman challenges stereotypes about “scary” dogs in the video. His expressions change from stern to soft within seconds, proving appearances can be deceiving.
The on-screen caption over the first clip adds context: “I’d never want a big scary dog like that.” It sets up a perfect contrast for what comes next in the video. While Diesel initially appears as an intimidating Doberman, he changes to an adorable figure as soon as he receives affectionate cuddles. As such, he goes from alert and muscular to delightful and sweet.
The video’s caption, “Can’t relate. Just a baby,” encapsulates the sentiment and the gentle reality beneath the surface. As the dog’s owner showers him with love, Diesel’s tough exterior dissolves within seconds. He leans into his owners for pets and enjoys cuddles. Diesel also gazes up with puppy eyes, even sprawling out on the couch to receive affection.
The Doberman’s stoic appearance disappears when his humans are around, proving how breed appearances can be tricky. Although alert and fearless companions, Dobermans thrive when they are a part of a loving family, as is apparent with Diesel. Hence, the video conveys an important message for those who stereotype dog breeds. Irrespective of how a dog looks on the outside, their behavior is shaped by the relationship with the people around them.
The dog transforms from a “protector” to a “baby” in the video, proving love can facilitate any sort of change and connection.
