A seemingly “sassy” foster puppy has melted hearts online after a video revealed the surprisingly sweet reason behind his dramatic behavior. The viral clip was shared by the Instagram account @wethreepitties, a North Carolina–based foster-focused page known for spotlighting rescue dogs and their personalities.
Foster puppy wanted to snuggle and communicated this in a cute video
The account, which boasts 176K followers, documents life inside the “pittie house.” The family currently fosters a puppy named Piglet, who quickly became the star of this wholesome moment. In the video, Piglet looks very upset and full of energy, making noise and moving around a lot. At first, it seems like a normal puppy attitude. But as the video continues, it becomes clear that Piglet isn’t misbehaving; he’s trying to communicate something.
The moment his foster mom calls him in for a cuddle, everything changes. Piglet immediately relaxes, melts into her arms, and settles down as if a switch has been flipped. The on-screen text sums it up perfectly: “When your foster puppy starts acting sassy and unhinged, but it turns out he was just trying to communicate that he wanted to snuggle with you.”
The caption adds even more context: “He just wanted to snuggle. Who knew all it took to calm a sassy boy down was some snuggles?! Would you snuggle Piglet if he yelled at you like this?!” Viewers flooded the comments with love and laughter. One user wrote, “He’s just a baby.” Another joked, “I can’t believe he left Adam… the whisperer of all doggos… to cuddle with you!” Others couldn’t handle the cuteness, with comments like “Oh. My. Gawd. He’s so cute it hurts,” and “There’s nothing better than a snuggle with Mom!” One viewer added, “Awww he’s such a spicy little potato.”
The video comes from @wethreepitties, an Instagram page run by experienced foster parents in North Carolina. The account features 2,499 posts, follows 2,827 accounts, and focuses on rescue advocacy and long-term fostering.
