Dad who was dead against getting a puppy turns into the ultimate softie around the family dog

Owning a pet is never easy. Just like babies, they also need to be looked after at all times. That's why some people do not favor keeping a pet because of the responsibilities, and there is nothing wrong with it. On a related note, a woman who goes by @madeline_carrera on TikTok had to face her father's fierce resistance when she first got a dog without informing him. However, with time, the man formed an impeccable bond with the adorable puppy, proving once again that dogs and all the dads "who initially didn't want a dog" are truly destined soulmates.

In the video, the woman captured her father shouting badly at a young boy, perhaps her little brother, for getting a dog without his permission. He made it clear that the boy had to take full responsibility for the dog; otherwise, he would face the devil. The man looked super angry by the newfound information and didn't seem pleased to have a dog at his place. However, everything changed when the puppy actually became a part of the family. Surprisingly, the father who was so angry just by the news of having a dog eventually became its best friend. From taking care of the puppy to snuggling him close, the man was seen doing everything a father would willingly do for his kids. From sleeping with the dog to taking him for long drives, the duo were just inseparable, wanting to do everything together.

Reacting to the video, @juliestory commented, "Dads with the dogs they didn’t want are my favorite videos." @twertles67 shared, "Don’t be mistaken, Dads want dogs too; they just don’t want to one day have to say goodbye." @mick_marquez13 pointed out, "Nothing stronger than the bond between a dog and a dad who didn’t want it." @jxshsavage said, "It’s ALWAYS the parents that don’t want a pet that has the strongest bonds with it." On a lighter note, @mishastl commented, "To be fair, I didn’t hear him say he wouldn’t love it, cuddle it, and spoil it. He said he wasn’t picking up the sheet."

Similarly, @leo.city revealed, "My in-laws sometimes watch my Doxie, and my father-in-law wasn't happy at first. Came over to pick him up, and he had him on his lap mowing the lawn."  On the other hand, @userjt9999 wrote, "My dad always made sure I knew that if I ever saw a dog on the street that needed a home, we would be its last stop. How I have 2 of my dogs." @rach_suzz said, "There has to be some biological reason for dads loving dogs so much." @meeandminnie commented, "My dad did the same thing with my cat. When I moved out, he told me I couldn’t take him because I wouldn’t care for him right."

@thathogwartsbiiish wrote, "My dad reacted the same when we got a kitten. The cat loved sleeping under Dad's neck, and he wouldn’t move for hours because he didn’t want to wake her." @frankieau1 shared, "It’s mental how much people who haven’t had dogs before don’t want them. Then when they decide to get one, they realize how fulfilling it is." @descendence said, "He knows how important it is to take care of a pet and knew you wouldn’t, so he does the job for you."
