Some reunions are so pure that you almost feel lucky to witness them, even if it’s just through a phone screen. That’s exactly what happens in this viral Instagram video featuring Doug, an XL American Bully with a personality as big as his frame.
The clip begins ordinarily enough — two women are walking down a hallway while Doug naps on his bed. But the second he hears their soft greetings, his whole body lights up. You can see the kind of full-body wag that only a dog with endless love can pull off. Within seconds, he’s up, stretched, and ready to smother them (and be smothered) with affection.
American Bully showers his ‘two favorite people’ with love upon meeting them in video
With a love so complete, it’s no wonder that the video has over 161,000 likes. Doug’s human captioned it simply: “He loves them so much.” And the affection shows in everything he does, from the nonstop kisses to the sweet moment where he offers them his toy to share. That tiny gesture says so much about his bighearted, goofy nature.
What makes Doug’s reaction even sweeter is the bond he shares with these visitors — his mom’s best friends. They meet him at his level, crouching down and laughing as Doug wiggles, leans, and laps up every ounce of attention. The nonstop wagging and that goofy grin would soften up just about anybody.
Fans couldn’t stop gushing in the comments. One wrote, “Doug’s smile at the end literally melted my heart.” Someone else added, “Your friends and Doug have such a lovely connection,” while another chimed in, “Doug is such a lucky boy to have so many ladies love him.” And maybe the most relatable of all: “Oh my gooodniisssss” is the universal greeting for the bestest boys and girls.”
Reading the comments, you can tell Doug isn’t just loved by his mom’s friends—people online are completely smitten too.
