If you’ve ever wondered who gets spoiled the most when grandparents are involved, this video clears that up in about half a second. Poppy is a Boxer dog who is usually very active and expressive. But in this video, she is very calm and cozy as she curls up in the middle of her grandparents’ bed. When her mom quietly pushes the bedroom door open, she finds grandma gently stroking Poppy’s face. And grandpa reads her bedtime prayers in that low-tone, warm voice reserved for someone very loved. The whole moment, shared on @royalprincesspoppy, feels so tender you almost want to climb onto the bed yourself.
Grandparents read bedtime prayers as dog listens intently in video
The scene starts quietly. Grandpa is already midway through the first prayer when Poppy’s mom enters the room. “Each day is filled with fun and play. You watch me, God, along my way,” he reads from the book. Poppy’s head is resting in her grandma’s embrace, her eyes half-closed, her whole body relaxed. Her big, expressive face seems to melt because someone she loves is speaking to her. The in-video text says it all: “Caught grandpa and grandma reading Poppy bedtime prayers.”
He reads lines about play and safety and courage in the dark, and grandma keeps brushing her fingers over Poppy’s cheek. At one point, grandpa leans in for a kiss, and Poppy immediately stretches up to lick his face. Almost as if she knew this was coming.
Grandma suggests “one more,” and grandpa flips the page. Every time he pauses, Poppy looks right at him. It’s the kind of unblinking, childlike attention that makes your chest tighten a little. He reads about being loved through every mood, every hour, every version of yourself. And grandma plants a few more kisses on Poppy’s head as he speaks.
The video cuts mid-story, but the feeling lingers. No wonder it’s passed 31K likes — everyone in the comments seems to agree: every dog deserves this kind of love, and Poppy hit the absolute jackpot in the grandparent department.
