In a heartwarming display of love and understanding, Aaron Michael Louis took to Instagram to share a sweet moment with his beloved dog, Gigi, as he reflected on her journey from puppyhood to young adulthood. In a video posted on Gigi’s account, Aaron sits next to Gigi, affectionately discussing her growth and the changes that come with it.
“Let’s talk about you growing up!” Aaron begins, his voice filled with affection for his furry companion. “Let’s talk about how you are two now! But literally low-key a teenager, young adult, almost. And with that, behaviors change. Emotions change. A lot of things change. But it’s up to me to notice that.”
In his heartfelt Instagram caption accompanying the video, Aaron delves deeper into the concept of dogs growing up, likening it to “growing pains” that both humans and animals experience. He highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the changes in behavior and emotions that accompany a dog’s maturation process.

“We often as humans expect our dogs to stay the same forever,” Aaron writes. “Or we are quick to frustration when they don’t respond to us. Listen. They deserve space, too. It’s a learning opportunity.” Aaron’s message serves as a gentle reminder to dog owners everywhere to approach their furry companions with empathy and understanding, rather than frustration or impatience.
He encourages a mindset of openness and curiosity, urging dog owners to pay attention to their pets’ cues and emotions, even when they may not behave as expected. “We always think we know everything. We don’t,” Aaron humbly admits. “Learning never stops. Focus on the relationship. Lead with love. Leave the ego behind. I bet you’ll pick up some growth along the way.”
