There’s clingy, and then there’s “I’ll follow you into every room of the house like it’s my mission in life” clingy. For some dog parents, privacy becomes a thing of the past, especially when your pup believes you’re the center of their universe. That kind of loyalty is on full display in a viral Instagram video, where one devoted dog refuses to let his mom out of his sight.
Dog refuses to leave mom’s side in funny video
Elvis is a black Labrador with a big heart and an even bigger attachment to his mom. The canine has the internet smiling with a video shared on his Instagram page, @elvisbatzthelab. In it, Elvis makes it clear he’s not letting his mom out of his sight, not even for a second. Whether she’s lounging on the couch, walking to the kitchen, trying to take a nap, or even heading to the bathroom, Elvis is right behind her, watching every move.
Adding to the humor, the reel is cleverly edited with Bruno Mars’ song “Leave the Door Open.” The video cleverly loops the lyric “What you doing?,” as if it’s echoing the dog’s curiosity. The lighthearted tone of the video is fuelled by the background score and Elvis’s dedication. It is like watching a furry little detective who’s convinced he’s missing out on something important.
The caption is written from Elvis’s point of view. It reads, “I stick by mom’s side everywhere she goes, just to make sure she never forgets me.” The post continues, “She says she wouldn’t have it any other way.”
The Instagram video became popular for its hilarious content. Many viewers could relate to it and shared their experiences. One viewer wrote, “Our furry little shadows are simply the best.” Another user commented, “And how can anyone say having a dog doesn’t feel like having a kid?” Many agreed with Elvis’s mom’s sentiment, echoing, “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”
