But he is not alone; his Labrador brother, Tokyo, and his cat sister are lying beside him. They seem to have sensed that the senior dog is not feeling well and thus try to provide comfort. In the caption, the uploader writes, “Sometimes love is simply staying close.”

In an adorable and heart-melting dog video on Instagram, a Labrador named Tokyo and a cat comfort their senior dog brother. Through on-screen text, the uploader explains the context. It reads, “They weren’t playing today…they stayed by their senior brother’s side because he wasn’t feeling well.”

Furthermore, the video has melted viewers’ hearts as they showered the trio with love in the comments. A user wrote, “For real! This is precious.” Many also prayed for Simon’s speedy recovery. The post has also garnered over 4K likes as of this writing.
