Instagram video shows rescue puppy more than eager to cuddle with owner and nap
Cuddles during nap time with furbabies are more than just a pleasurable experience for dog parents. They stand as a true testament to the bond between owners and their pets. In this Instagram video on the account @cactustherescue, the dog dad shared what a nap with his rescue puppy, Cactus, looks like. The onscreen text read, “Trying to get my rescue puppy to take an afternoon nap with me.”
The video began with the pet parent lying down on the couch with Cactus slowly coming into frame. The owner then tapped his left shoulder to indicate to the pup to lie down with him. The canine, well-aware of his dad’s signal, walked towards him and gently placed himself on top of his favorite human. The two locked eyes for a brief moment before their cuddling session began.
The Instagram video then shifted to Cactus enjoying loving pets from his parent after having made himself comfortable atop his dad. In one clip, he rested his head on his owner’s chest, spreading out his paws like a baby. His facial expressions were enough to display his contentment and happiness over receiving endless cuddles from his human.
At the end of the video, Cactus fell asleep, his face indicating how safe he felt in his parent’s arms. In the caption, the dog dad mentioned how the rescue puppy would “appear out of nowhere and curl up” on him, irrespective of where he is in the house. The owner concluded, “He’s basically a little living weighted blanket, and honestly, it’s the best thing ever.”
Fans and fellow pet parents showed appreciation for the dog dad’s everlasting bond with Cactus. They called the rescue puppy “cute,” offering their love for the duo’s adorable nap time interaction.
