In the caption, the owner mentions, “Cactus’s crate needed a refresh, but he thought I was trying to steal it.” Throughout the clip, he calmly handles his fur baby and makes Cactus understand his purpose.
Instagram video shows how rescue dog supervises owner while he cleans the crate
In an Instagram video, a rescue dog named Cactus becomes suspicious when his owner, Mike Brown, tries to clean his crate. Through an in-text line in the clip, the pet parent explains his feelings, “Rescue puppy thinks I’m taking his crate away.” It begins with Brown offering his hand to the pooch and comforting him, saying that he should not be sad, as the human would only clean his place.
Although the owner successfully gets Cactus out of the crate, the latter is not willing to leave his pad. As the vacuum cleaner starts its work, Brown tells the dog not to be mad. Cactus keeps an eagle eye on his dad’s cleaning process, implying he has trust issues. The canine seems to be eager to get in his crate, so he jumps in even before Brown puts in the blankets. After a lot of struggle, the owner manages to clean the crate and provide his rescue pup a cozy home.
In the caption of the dog crate cleaning video, Brown mentions, “He supervised the whole operation.” Viewers lauded the paw parent’s calm way of talking to the pet. A user wrote, “The way you talk to him so precious.” Another quipped, “He trusts you, but not enough to leave you without full supervision of his special space.”
Many called Cactus “sweetest,” “bestest boi,” and “innocent soul,” while some enjoyed how the pup acted “prickly.” Meanwhile, the dog crate cleaning video has received over 23K likes at the time of writing.
