When their humans return home, some dogs wag their tails, and some jump into their arms. And then there are others who put a little extra thought into it. Baloo, a sweet Pit Bull, greets his mom in the most heart-melting way: by presenting her with a gift. He wants to make every homecoming feel special.
It doesn’t matter if she’s been gone for hours or just stepped out for a quick errand — Baloo is there at the door, toy in mouth, ready to say, “Welcome back, I missed you.” It’s a ritual that’s equal parts hilarious and touching, and it’s easy to see why the video has captured so many hearts.
Pit Bull welcomes owner with a gift when they come home in video
The video, which has received over 174k likes, is a heartwarming montage of Baloo’s loving greetings. The first time, he trots up proudly with a plush bottle toy. Next, it’s another toy. Then there is a bright blue ball wedged in his mouth, tail wagging furiously as his mom walks through the door. In one scene, he goes above and beyond — struggling to haul in a bunny plushie that’s almost twice his size, determined to offer it as the perfect present.
Not every gift is conventional. Once, he couldn’t find a toy in time, so he grabbed one of his mom’s slippers. Another time, he marched up with half a potato in his mouth, looking just as proud as ever. There’s also a squishy reindeer, plus another oversized stuffed toy to round out his thoughtful collection.
Pitbulls form strong bonds with their human companions. And this is why Baloo’s gift-giving is so constant. The on-screen text throughout the video asks, “How do you explain this feeling to someone who doesn’t have a dog?” And one person in the comments section answers to it, “You can’t explain it because that feeling is something you can only understand when you experience it.” And judging by Baloo’s dedication, his mom is one of the luckiest dog parents out there.
