Heyo, pup heads! Happy Saturday! The weekend is finally here, we can finally rest, relax, and unwind. And what better way to relax than with a heartwarming Twitter thread to restore your faith in humanity? Alright, we have to admit, none of these people have claimed to solve world hunger. Instead, it's the little things that they do that count the most. 

Someone took to Twitter to share a wholesome moment they've witnessed on their neighborhood block. So get this, a girl has an old little doggo. Any pet owner knows that when our pets age, they're no longer able to perform daily tasks as well as they used to. Like, running or even walking. So this tiny hooman decided to spice things up for her doggo and put him in a stroller to ease it up on his limbs. She pushed the stroller and chased people so the dog could feel like he was chasing them. Is that not the best thing you've ever heard?

    Font - Alison Nicolson-Rae @Nicolsonraea ... A little girl in my street has a very old pug with severe arthritis. Today I saw her gently strap him into a baby stroller & wait for the postie so they could chase after it, running & laughing as the pup barked like hell. You know, just in case you forgot what love means. 3:09 AM Jul 4, 2022. Twitter for Android

    Our souls are warmed, hearts are melted, and it seems like there's hope for humanity after all. We're super grateful for pet owners like these who don't just stop at feeding and walking their pup but really go the extra mile to make them feel happy, safe, loved, and secure.

    Font - Anne-Marie @AMPdDesigns Replying to @Nicolsonraea My mom early one morning in 05/2009. She is running in the rain carrying my dog like a football chasing after a rabbit. She is doing this so the dog wont get wet muddy paws but still gets to enjoy the barking and chasing of the bunny. She is also wearing my dads slippers.

    Not to sound super dramatic or anything, but this has got to be the most wholesome thing we've ever heard. At first glance, it looks like mom is running from the rain (with the dog, of course). But it turns out that not only was she running in the rain but she was also chasing a rabbit. Wow. Your mom is an icon, we hope you know that!

We love our postie & of course our beagle. 4:09 PM Jul 4, 2022. Twitter Web App
