There are morning routines, and then there are Boomer’s morning routines. His mornings aren’t complete without saying hello to both of his humans, but on this particular day, he accidentally skipped one crucial step. In the Instagram video, at first, the fluffy Samoyed walks inside like it was business as usual, tail swishing happily.
But then, right in the middle of greeting his mom, something seemed to click. He’d walked right past Dad without giving him his morning hug. And that realization turned into the sweetest, most wholesome display of love you’ll see all week.
Samoyed leaps up to hug dad after forgetting to wish him good morning in video
The video begins with Boomer waiting patiently on the patio, eager to be let inside. As soon as he’s let in, he gives Dad a quick sniff and starts heading toward Mom, who’s filming. But then comes the best part — the split-second where Boomer stops in his tracks, as if it suddenly dawns on him that he missed something big. The on-screen text reads, “Watch my dog when he realized he forgot to hug his dad good morning.”
Immediately, Boomer turns around. He completely bypasses his mom’s extended hand, which was ready to give him pets. Instead, he goes straight back to his dad. This time, with his tail wagging furiously, he leaps up on his hind legs to give his dad the most wholesome hug. Dad melts into it instantly, returning the embrace and following it up with sweet forehead kisses.
It’s the kind of everyday moment that makes you grin from ear to ear. Nearly 50,000 people have already fallen for Boomer’s morning hug, and the comments say it all — from “Boomer is absolute proof that animals have souls” to “He’s not a dog, he’s a flooofy human being.” Some viewers even commented on how lucky Boomer’s dad is. Honestly, with a morning routine like this, how could anyone have a bad day?
