Dogs are beings that are destined to live with people, and there are many reasons for that. Besides the fact that they need a human to provide them with food, water, and a roof over their heads, love is also a significant factor, sometimes perhaps the most important.
However, although it may sound strange at first, occasionally, we need our furry fellows more than the other way around. And, of course, it’s not about food and water, but about the health of our soul, which sometimes a dog can completely heal with just one stroke.
This is exactly what a Cockapoo Poodle mix showed best one day by doing something that lifted his depressed mom from the bottom of despair.
Her Shoulder To Cry On
For a long time, Hektor has been the center of attention for Laura Tracey and her mom, Hektor’s beloved nanny. Laura herself has already posted many videos about this dog and their relationship with him on his TikTok profile, @hekkigram.
Yet, the video she posted on June 18, 2024, is something truly special and best shows why a dog is man’s best friend, and maybe even more than that.
In this short video, we can see Hektor sitting on the bed and looking worriedly at his crying mom, who is having a bad day. However, this cute pup finds a way to cheer up Laura by bringing her something that is most special for every canine.
The words written in the video reveal what that is: “POV: You go to bed crying and your dog brings the treat he stashed away to make you feel better.”
For this woman, it was one of the most special moments in her life, but she later revealed in her interview for Newsweek that Hektor is her constant emotional support.
She also explained first-hand what happened in the video she posted on TikTok.
“In the clip, I collapsed into bed crying due to a stressful situation which has severely impacted my mental health. He went to find his treat that he had stashed away and brought it to me, dropping it on the edge of his basket as if he were giving it to me to cheer me up,” Laura said.
Maybe this seems fascinating at first when we have the opportunity to hear a heartwarming story and see a video like this, but this is actually nothing new.
According to the American Heart Association, numerous studies have shown that “dogs reduce stress, anxiety and depression; ease loneliness; encourage exercise and improve your overall health.”
This is just one example of how our furry friends do it, but it’s also one of the cutest.
Many Melted Hearts
As you can already see, Laura decided to share this heartwarming moment with her TikTok followers. It turned out that was a great decision because many people loved it.
There were numerous reactions, and we decided to highlight some of them.
“Aww, they hate to see us upset don’t they, bless him. 😊” one user wrote.
“Hold that precious baby always🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰,” another added.
The third quipped: “Aw bless him. That’s real love right there,” and Laura replied with the words: “He’s the greatest love of my life 🥰🥰.”
Of course, this woman loves her Hector immensely because, after all, it is a blessing to have someone by your side who is able to drive away the gloomy clouds from above your head when it seems that the storm will never stop.
Hektor managed to do it with just one heartwarming act of compassion.
