Through this video, we get a peek into King’s and his humans’ years-long love story. It’s a special connection that has only deepened with time. His mom, Maria, captures the small shifts that happen when a once-bouncy dog starts to slow down, and the result is a video that gently tugs at your heart. King yawns in the grass, soaks in the sunshine, and curls into blankets with the kind of ease that only comes when age has settled in.
And yet, there’s still that unmistakable spark in his eyes, the same loyal, steady spirit that Pit Bulls are known for. As Maria puts it in the caption: “Every single second with him is the greatest gift.”

The clip, titled “Our Pets Age Quietly,” quickly went viral. Thousands of pet parents who see their own dogs in King have commented on it. It’s the kind of clip that spreads quickly because it speaks a universal truth: time with our pets is never long enough.
We watch King take slower steps and really enjoy his long naps. He now leans on his humans for a little extra help. There’s something incredibly tender about how his family adjusts with him — lifting him from the car, carrying him down the stairs, waiting patiently when his play takes a pause. Even in those slower moments, King’s devotion shines through.
Fans couldn’t help but pour their hearts out in the comments. Some admitted they cried watching, others said it reminded them to cherish every ordinary day with their dogs. One viewer commented, “As a fur mama of a senior pitty I was not ready for this,” and another confessed, “Crying watching my dog n this video. I want them to live forever.”
And that’s really what makes this video so moving. It’s not just about King getting older. It is about the privilege of walking beside him through every stage of life, and realizing those “ordinary” moments are the ones we will remember most.
