It is heartwarming to witness fur babies following a routine since their childhood. This Instagram video shows why a Staffordshire Bull Terrier (also known as a Staffy) lifts her paw during bedtime. Named Holly, the pooch has the habit of snuggling her favorite plush toy while sleeping. Through the caption, the owner explains that he has been putting the plushie under the dog’s arm since she was a puppy. Therefore, Holly has now formed a routine of gently lifting her paw before sleeping as a way to ask her dad to bring her the toy.
Wholesome video shows dog gently raising her paw to hold her snuggle toy
In an adorable, wholesome Instagram dog video, a Staffy named Holly raises her paw to hold her toy. Through the on-screen text, the uploader mentions, “The way she lofts her paw for her moo cow,” which is the dog’s favorite plushie. The clip then shows the pet parent approaching his fur baby while the latter sleeps with the lights off.
He switches on the light and grabs the pet’s toy. When he brings the plushie to Holly, she gently lifts her paw. So, the dog dad puts it under her arm, and Holly snuggles with the toy. Furthermore, the owner explains the story behind it in the caption. He mentions that he finds the pooch’s “paw raise” habit amusing every single time.
“I get asked a lot and whether it’s something I trained her to do and I guess it was, just unintentionally,” the pet parent writes. Further, he explains that Holly formed the habit because he used to put the plushie under her arm since she was a puppy. “As the weeks & months went on whenever it was bedtime I started noticing she would raise her arm up waiting for her moo cow delivery every time I walked up to her so the tradition stuck,” it read.
