If you’ve ever tried giving a puppy a bath, you already know it can turn into a splashy adventure. There’s the wide-eyed stare at the faucet, the cautious sniff at the water, and the dramatic little shivers. Still, those firsts are important moments of trust. A recent video perfectly captures that milestone as two foster puppies experience bath time for the first time.
Foster puppies take their first bath in adorable video
An Instagram video shared by @imbluethesiberian features Corey Moriarty carefully bathing two foster puppies, Africa and Europe. The short clip begins with Corey holding the small dogs in his arms as he walks toward the bathroom. Both puppies appear slightly tense, their bodies stiff and their eyes wide as they take in their surroundings.
As Corey turns on the tap, the sound of running water seems to make the puppies even more unsure. They glance toward the stream with visible curiosity, but neither looks fully convinced. Sensing their hesitation, Corey makes a thoughtful decision. He steps into the tub with them instead of simply placing them inside.
Once in the water, he keeps both puppies close, supporting them securely as their tiny paws touch the tub floor. At first, their footing looks unsteady, and they shift nervously. Corey gently talks to them and keeps one arm around them, occasionally lifting and cuddling them to remind them they are safe. His calm presence appears to make a difference. Gradually, their bodies relax, and their movements become less stiff.
Throughout the bath, Corey continues to comfort them, stroking their fur and playing lightly so the experience feels less frightening. By the time he begins rinsing them off, Africa and Europe seem far more at ease than when they started.
Many viewers praised Corey’s patience and dedication to fostering. One commenter wrote that the puppies were “in such good hands” and hoped he would keep them permanently. Another said it was “so lovely” to see how tenderly he cared for them. Others described him as a “kind man with a golden heart” and a devoted dog and foster dad. Some even admitted it would likely be hard to say goodbye when the puppies eventually move on to their forever homes.
