Instagram video shows how rescue puppy reacts to moving houses
In the heartwarming video, the rescue puppy sits on the bed beside his owner. His worried face prompts a soft “what” from the human friend. The owner softly repeats, “what’s that look for,” knowing that Cactus might not be fond of moving houses again. Rather than perking up, Cactus holds the stare, and his paws rest on his owner, almost as if he’s searching for reassurance.
The on-screen caption reads, “Day 3 trying to cheer up rescue puppy before he moves houses again.” Cactus’s reaction shows that he knows something’s up. The puppy’s owner explains in the video’s caption, “Moving day is almost here, but until then I’m doing my best to keep Cactus in good spirits.” The caption suggests that Cactus might have sensed he was moving houses: “He’s been acting nervous ever since we started packing some of his stuff up in boxes.”
The owner invites the dog over with, “you come here.” Cactus responds by nuzzling up and locking his arms around his human, receiving a gentle head scratch. Eventually, the puppy lays his forelimbs across his owner’s chest and nestles in for comfort and affection.
Viewers resonated with the video, with one observing, “He doesn’t want to be left behind. All he sees is the packing.” Another commented, “His little face is so worried. Dogs love so much!” A third user reassured, “He will be ok once he realizes he’s coming with you,” while a fourth one wrote, “Cactus is happy where you are.”
Moving houses is not easy for anyone, and Cactus’s video proves that a rescue puppy is no exception. Still, love and care for anxious pets can go a long way, especially when the sense of home is tied to a person.
