Explaining exactly how much a pet cares about their owner is hard to put into words. And a beautiful montage from Victoria, Australia, proves that real affection does not require an actual vocabulary. A heartwarming Instagram clip shared by @hollythebluestaffy completely answers the common question of how animals show affection even when they can’t talk. The video highlights five years of uninterrupted cuddle time between a gorgeous blue Staffy and her favorite human: Dad.
Staffy doesn’t need to talk to prove her love for dad
The clip opens to show Holly as a tiny puppy snuggling against her dad’s neck while he lies on the floor. And then it transitions into a series of sweet daily moments as she grows up. She constantly leans her entire body weight against his chest, completely squishing him while he smiles.
Owners of Staffordshire Bull Terriers will tell you that they are companion dogs who just want to be as close to their humans as possible. And in the video, we see this Staffy rest her snout right against dad’s face at different moments. There is even a cute moment where she is looking up at dad with pure adoration.
And she always smiles whenever dad plants a kiss on her snout. The grand finale of the video features a mirror shot in their home. Dad kneels down on the floor so Holly can wrap her front paws around him for a proper, full-body hug. Her tail wags fast the entire time.
The wholesome post quickly gathered over 19.8k likes. And people can’t get enough of their deep connection. One person commented that when a dog literally tries to merge with your body, it is safe to say they love you. Another viewer noted that Holly clearly treats her dad like the absolute love of her life. Someone else pointed out the sweet way the dog’s nose sits right under a human chin when hugging, like “puzzle pieces fitting together.”
