A heartwarming video is making people smile and scratch their heads. In the video, a man is carrying his big dog in his arms while his small child walks beside him.
Luz Elena from Mexico filmed this moment. In the video, the father is holding his son’s hand with one arm and carrying a large gray pit bull with the other. The dog’s tongue is hanging out, and its head rests on the man’s shoulder.
This funny and sweet video, posted on TikTok by Elena and titled “When your priority is your dog, not the child,” shows the father, dog, and son crossing the street and walking down the sidewalk. People are talking about what this says about family priorities, but most find the video adorable and amusing.
Once the trio reached the sidewalk, a woman joined them. She was pushing a child’s three-wheeled stroller or bike, which was carrying a big-boxed item.
One TikTok user suggested that the child had to walk because his mom used his stroller to carry something. “No one mentioned the mom in the back with the push trike. The kid is walking because mom put something in the trike. Maybe the dog is sick?”
Others thought the sidewalk was too hot for the dog’s paws, while the child’s feet were protected by shoes. One person commented, “The puppy’s legs are burning, and the child is wearing shoes, so it’s better to carry the puppy.” Another user wrote, “This is actually super sweet. The pavement is probably way too hot for the dog’s paws, so he is carrying him.”
Most users praised the dad for carrying the dog, saying it shows how families today often include pets as important members. One person said, “He is showing a lot of empathy and responsibility for his pet and his son because he takes him by the hand. A thousand blessings.” Another added, “Super dad. I would have done the same. The kid has shoes on, and the doggy doesn’t. It looks hot too. Plus, his mom was there, maybe he wanted to walk.”
Even though Luz posted this cute video more than a year ago, it’s still getting a lot of attention and has about 4.7 million views.
It really is adorable how this dad is expressing love for his dog and child! We wish everyone treated animals with an equal kind of love. What do you think of this dad?
