If you ever feel like you're not loved, just walk into a house where there's a dog, and you'll feel like the most special person on Earth. Our four-legged friends really have a knack for acting like they haven't seen us in years instead of just the twenty minutes it takes to go to the supermarket. But Erik's roommate's dog has a very different way of saying "Welcome home," and it has me in tears of laughter!
We've shown you before that dogs have some of the cutest greetings in the world. This one gives his young owner a very human-like hug when he walks through the door! But I've never seen a dog immediately bow down and beg for a scratch like this one does. This adorable Akita gets all worked up the moment he suspects his human is on his way to the door, but it's pretty clear that the main reason Erik's buddy is excited for his return is for some good old-fashioned butt scratches. The companionship is just a nice side effect, I suppose.
If only our human loved ones got so excited when we came home! It's no wonder that people who have dogs live such happy lives — I don't think it's possible to not smile when you walk through the door to see a wagging tail, a floppy tongue, and occasionally, a very itchy rump.
If this dog's funny greeting made you smile, SHARE this video with everyone you know!
