Dog gets impatient as he waits for his paws to be cleaned
It is normal for a dog to dislike having their paws cleaned because it can make them feel ticklish, uncomfortable, and sometimes overstimulated. However, this “Shih Tzu/Maltese” named Olli does the most surprising thing.
Unlike other dogs who run away or throw tantrums at such a time, Olli waits patiently to get his paws cleaned after a walk. And to show this, the paw parents uploaded a video on @olli.the.doggi.
The clip, captioned “POV: My dog patiently waiting for his paws to be wiped so he can run and greet me,” shows Olli coming from his walk with his dad. And as soon as he enters the foyer, he sits and waits for his dad to remove his harness and clean his paws so that he can go and hug his “mama.”
Although the furball gets impatient and asks his owner to “hurry up!”, he still waits for his dad to complete his duty.
Olli even “tries to escape” when the dad is cleaning his paws with a towel, but he still waits before running to his mom and jumping on her, hinting he is happy to be back home. “Always runs straight to mom,” the dog’s mom said about the pup’s action in the caption.
Nevertheless, the pup’s actions and patience won many hearts online. Many netizens left heart-eyed emojis in the caption, hinting they are in love with Olli. Some followers even applauded the pup’s actions, with one saying, “So smart!” While another person mentioned, “such a good boy.”
