A heartwarming video that shows a man carrying his large dog in his arms with his small child walking next to him is capturing the hearts of puzzled but adoring cyber citizens.<\/p>\n
Luz Elena, of Mexico, captured a video of a father, with one arm reaching down to hold the hand of his small son, and the other arm used to carry a large gray pit bull, the dog\u2019s tongue wagging as his head drapes over the man\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
Sparking conversations about family priorities, Elena\u2019s sweet and hilarious TikTok video, titled \u201cWhen your priority is your dog, not the child,\u201d shows the father, dog and son crossing the street and continuing down the sidewalk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the trio reached the sidewalk, it appears they are joined by a woman who, trailing close behind, is pushing a child\u2019s three-wheeled stroller or bike that\u2019s holding a big-boxed item.<\/p>\n
One TikTok user suggested the kid had to walk because his transportation was poached by his mother. \u201cNo one mentioned the mom in the back with the push trike. The kid is walking because mom put something in the trike. Maybe dog is sick?\u201d<\/p>\n
Others said the sidewalk was too hot for the dog\u2019s paws and that the child\u2019s feet are protected by his shoes: \u201cThe puppy\u2019s legs are burning, and the child is wearing shoes so it\u2019s better to carry the puppy.\u201d While another writes, \u201cThis is actually super sweet. The pavement is probably way too hot for the dogs paws so he is carrying him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The majority of users praised the dad for carrying the dog, providing evidence to the growing population of non-traditional, interspecies families, that today are oftentimes completed with the addition of a fur child.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is (showing) a lot of empathy and responsibility for his pet and his son because he takes him by the hand. a thousand blessings.\u201d Writes one person. Another, relating to this father\u2019s love for both the child and dog, adds: \u201cSuper dad. I would have done the same. Kid has shoes on and the doggy doesn\u2019t. It looks hot too. Plus his mom was there maybe he wanted to walk,\u201d<\/p>\n
Though Luz posted this adorable video more than one year ago, it\u2019s still getting a lot of attention and has about 4.7 million views.<\/p>\n
