Finding the motivation to start the day can be tough. However, for this dog, all it takes is a special someone walking through the door. This incredibly sweet video shows Yogi, a sweet senior Bulldog rescue, who refused to get out of bed until his crush arrived to say goodbye on his adoption day.
Yogi and his canine crush, Coco, are part of the heartwarming community featured on the Instagram handle @nybulldogsisters. His foster family shared the bittersweet farewell, writing: “Yogi didn’t want to get up this morning until his crush came in…we were getting ready for his FUREVER (home) today.”
Senior Bulldog shows that nothing but ‘love can motivate him’ in video
The video has melted over 13K hearts online, and honestly, it deserves every single like. It opens with a familiar situation: Yogi’s foster dad standing at the door, trying to coax the dog out, while the onscreen text humorously notes: “POV: Only love can motivate you.”
His foster mom calls out, “Yogi, Coco is here,” and the camera cuts to the latter, who ambles across the yard. As she steps up to the room, his human says, “Look he perked up.” The camera zooms to show Yogi, who immediately lifts his head from his bed, happy to see her. His lethargy instantly vanishes. The pup jumps off the bed and goes to greet her.
The beautiful sight of the two dogs happily sniffing and greeting each other proves his mom’s assertion: “He didn’t want to get up till his girlfriend comes.” This sweet connection, just before he headed to his forever home, touched viewers deeply.
One fan commented, “It’s never too late to find love. It’s a lesson for all of us. After all Coco is a sweetheart and a beauty.” This final moment with the love of his life was the perfect way for Yogi to say goodbye to his foster family and step confidently into his new life.
