Senior dog lets newborn mice cuddle up instead of chasing them
In a wholesome dog video on Instagram, a senior pup named Jester lets newborn mice snuggle into him instead of chasing them away. The clip begins with two tiny fur balls cuddling up on the pooch’s fur. Through voiceover, the owner reveals that she doesn’t know much about raising mice. However, she knows about her pet, who has been with her for 14 years.
According to her, Jester is “not friendly to anything. He chases anything smaller or bigger than him and he likes to be left alone.” Therefore, the pup’s gentleness towards the two mice has surprised the pet parent. She finds it the “cutest thing” and hopes that the senior dog forms a bond with the newborns as they grow.
Meanwhile, the caption also reads, “I lay them on Jesters mane since it’s the closest thing to what I think their mother would have felt like.” The owner calls their relationship “symbiotic.” Furthermore, viewers have enjoyed watching the video and referred to Jester as the mice’s “dad.”
A user also wrote, “He loves them he knows they are babies.” Another commented, “This is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.” Many called them “cute” and dropped heart emojis in the comments section.
