A senior dog gets love and care not only from his pet parents but also from his furry siblings. This Instagram video shows a cat and a dog being the perfect siblings to their Labrador Retriever, Simon. The latter is ill and resting on his dog bed. 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.”
Dog and cat comfort senior dog by lying beside him when he isn’t feeling well
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.”
The clip, uploaded by @allaboutwhiskers_, begins with the camera capturing a sweet moment. It shows three siblings lying close together. Senior dog Simon seems unwell and is sleeping on his dog bed. It appears his dog brother and cat sister have sensed he’s ill. So the feline lies beside Simon on the bed while Tokyo is near them, but outside the bed.
Moreover, Simon doesn’t seem awake but looks comfortable in his siblings’ care and warmth. The cat’s two back paws touch his tummy while the front ones are almost above Simon’s front paw. She seems to be looking at the senior pooch. Meanwhile, Tokyo lies on his stomach, keeping his head up to guard his siblings.
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.
