For anyone who’s ever adopted a rescue animal, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching them settle into a life filled with love and comfort. Many once-neglected pets go on to experience the kind of pampering they never knew before. One dog named Shmoo is proof of that transformation, and a new video of her weekly massage has warmed hearts on Instagram.
Owner documents adopted dog’s reaction to weekly massage in video
Jessica Sattelberger, a dog mom from California, has captured hearts online through her Instagram account @shmoothemagicaldog. There, she shares daily clips of her beloved Pit Bull mix, Shmoo. While her page is filled with wholesome moments, one recent video has stood out among the rest. It shows just how far Shmoo has come since being surrendered and how pampered her life is today.
The video opens with text onscreen: “Shmoo clocking in for her weekly massage.” In the clip, Jessica sits beside her furry friend, gently massaging her legs, paws, and shoulders. Shmoo closes her eyes, completely relaxed, as if she’s at a doggy spa, enjoying a moment of pure bliss. Jessica added an emotional caption to the post: “Thank you to the person who surrendered her because now she gets weekly massages.”
The heartwarming scene quickly caught the viewers’ attention, who flooded the comments with laughter, admiration, and love. One person joked, “She’s like thanks honey I’ve had a tough week,” capturing Shmoo’s human-like expression of contentment. Another commented, “You really loved the shoulder massage, Shmoo,” while one viewer couldn’t help but ask, “Is she as soft as she looks? Shmoo looks like velvet.”
The comments section soon turned into a lighthearted conversation about how everyone wanted a “Shmoo treatment” of their own. “I need someone to do this to me, but watching Shmoo is almost as good,” one user wrote, summing up the video’s cozy vibe.
