For all the dads out there, do you remember how you cared for your spouse during her pregnancy?
Indeed, those memories might flood back of times when you juggled errands, being the sole caretaker of the home and all its chores. Well, you’re not alone.
While some spouses may feel they didn’t have such a helping hand, they can find inspiration in this viral video showcasing a golden retriever caring for its partner during labor.
These Golden Retrievers became an internet sensation. Initially, they were seen lounging side by side. Then, as soon as the wife stirred, the dog sprang into action, dashing to the air conditioner switch to adjust the temperature.
Next, it fetched a small container in its mouth and trotted to the kitchen. It expertly left the basin in the sink and used its paw to turn on the faucet. Then, it joyfully returned to its partner, clearly proud of its achievement.
After she finished her drink, the dog fetched her leash. Exercise remains crucial for a pregnant dog to stay fit. But instead of their owner taking them to the park, the dog grabbed the leash and accompanied his mate.
This gave the dog dad a chance to run other errands. Throughout the day, he ventured to the kitchen to assist in preparing his partner’s dinner.
Chicken, fish, shrimp, and some vegetables – quite a feast. The dog dad assisted his human with the clean-up, even taking out the trash.
He was even a gentleman at dinner. Despite his hunger from all the effort, he allowed his partner to eat first. After all, she was also eating for their pups.
“Later, when he invited her for a post-dinner run, something changed. His wife chose to stay home.”
“Labor had started. When their furry parents sensed what was about to happen, they hurriedly prepared a nest for her. What was once a room for just the two of them became the loving home of a family.”
“One by one, the puppies came out from their mother. The owners gently cleaned them before letting them nurse.”
“Meanwhile, they gave her easily digestible food to help her during the process.”
“The cute retriever finally became a dad, with seven healthy puppies, each wearing a different colorful collar, almost like a rainbow.”
“Now, the dog owner takes on household tasks. But this time, he’s not just caring for a dog. He’s looking after his partner and their children.”
“With the trustworthiness this ‘good dog’ has shown, it’s clear they’re in safe hands.”
“See this affectionate golden retriever take care of his whole family in the video below!”
