There’s something about Christmas that pulls you straight back to being a kid on the floor writing your Christmas wishlist. With dogs on the top of the list and fully believe this would finally be the year. For most of us, that “dream dog” was the ultimate, unreachable gift. But for some lucky people, those childhood wishes eventually manifest into the real thing.
That same feeling settles over this sun-drenched video from @rhubarbthedoggo without needing much explanation at all. In it, Rhubarb and Plum are doing nothing more than resting together in a warm patch of light. And the in-video text by the dogs’ owner reads, “I hope they know they were on my Christmas list every year growing up,” and suddenly the moment feels bigger than a nap — it feels like a full-circle moment, softly realized.
Owner claims ‘dream girl’ dogs were on Christmas lists growing up in wholesome video
The video didn’t need much time to find its people, pulling in over 7.4K likes from viewers who clearly felt something watching it. It hits that soft spot for anyone who ever hoped — even just once — that a dog might somehow be waiting under the tree. It’s a short but moving clip, showing the two sisters soaking up sunshine streaming through the window.
Plum, a sweet Dachshund, is seen lying completely belly-up on the bed in a state of total relaxation. Right beside her, Rhubarb, a velvet-soft Pit Bull mix, rests her head on the mattress, her snout touching that of her sister. That’s it, that’s the video.
But it’s just deeply heartwarming to watch them together. Whether it’s how Rhubarb welcomed Plum into the family, or how they constantly have “chatting” matches. It really puts things into perspective — who needs flashy stuff when you can just watch your pup snooze in the sunlight?
These “sweeties” feel like the end result of years of wanting, waiting, and finally choosing them. As one viewer beautifully commented, “You seem to get more sunshine than the rest of us, from inside and out.” These “perfect” girls truly prove that some Christmas wishes are worth the wait.
