From tattered toys to threadbare blankets, the items dogs love often hold as much sentimental value as any treasured keepsake. A recent Instagram video shows one Bulldog’s adorably anxious reaction as his favorite toy undergoes a “surgery” at the hands of his dad.
Bulldog waits patiently as dad performs ‘second operation’ on Rhino toy in video
Bear the Bulldog was recently filmed supervising a delicate “operation.” The video shows his dad sitting on the couch, carefully sewing his beloved purple Rhino plushie, which has apparently seen its fair share of wear and tear. According to the caption, this was the “second op” for the Rhino, suggesting Bear has a history of putting his favorite toy through some rough play.
As the clip unfolds, Bear sits close by, with his head resting on his dad’s thigh. The attentive Bulldog leans in to watch the repair, with a look that seems to convey worry and concern. At times, his ears twitch and he lets out small growls, as if urging his dad to be extra careful with the fragile toy.
When Bear starts to get impatient, his owner reassures him with gentle pets and soothing words, while continuing the delicate stitching. Eventually, his nerves settle, and the operation concludes successfully. The clip ends on a heartwarming note, showing Bear licking the fully repaired Rhino.
Bear’s nervous supervision and eventual relief earned plenty of likes and comments from Instagram users. At the time of writing, the video has gained over 55K likes and 1,049 comments.
One fan reacted, “How sweet that Dad fixes your toys for you!!!” Another added, “Oh, he was really nervous during the operation!” Some viewers joked about the toy’s durability, with one noting, “Right back to busting his stitches,” while a fellow Bulldog owner empathized deeply, saying, “I recognize all too well that distinct sound of an achy breaky heart.”
