Dogs definitely know how to comfort their owners. And they know just what to do when we are upset. Throwawayfanboy24 shares a time when her pet went the extra mile to cheer her up.
“My dog doesn’t let her toy carrot out of her sight, NEVER ever lets anyone touch it, etc. She protects it like her life depends on it. Growls, snarks, even bit my mom once when she tried to wash it.
I’ve been going through a really hard time, and I was crying on my bedroom floor. At first, she just came and lay next to me (which in and of itself is adorable), and then she brought me her carrot. At first, I didn’t react much because I was crying, so she started nudging it at me and poking me with it. She then got on my lap and put it on my chest and that made me happy cry even more. Once I took it, she just sat down next to me. That was so pure. She gave me what she felt was the most important thing ever and waited for the effect of said important thing she valued.
We. Don’t. Deserve. Dogs.”
