Ruby and her brother Miles are regulars at Burlington, Ontario’s The Den Doggy Daycare. When it comes to establishing friends, the German shorthaired pointer is everything but laid-back.

When Ruby is around other dogs, she demonstrates her affection in the most loving manner she knows how: by giving them the pets they deserve.

Ruby’s strange conduct was first noted by Alanah Lorraine, who brings her dog Lexy to day care, a few months ago. Lorraine told The Dodo, “She does that every time she comes in.” “We believe she is seeking attention!”

Ruby refuses to keep her paws to herself when she is at day care. Her canine companions are frequently perplexed by her soft strokes, but they put up with them nevertheless. They appear to understand that this is merely Ruby’s way of saying “hello.”

“Most dogs don’t seem upset by it and just go along with it,” Lorraine explained.

Lorraine started photographing Ruby’s pawing whenever she caught her doing it, and she finally decided to assemble the footage. She uploaded the video to TikTok, where it received tens of thousands of views.

Lorraine remarked, “I thought it would be cute, but I never expected it would become viral.”

Pawing at other dogs is usually a sign of submission or an invitation to play, but Ruby appears to be just interested in scratching the pups’ heads or backs.

Today, pets offer companionship, emotional support, reduced feelings of loneliness, and reduced stress levels. It also contributes to high self-esteem and positive emotions, especially for children. And although many people enjoy the company of their dog or cat and would never think of getting rid of their pet, consider it a family member.

However, in many cases coexistence between humans and animals is not always successful and in some cases the relationship does not work out, when the family is committed, adoption is their last resort. There are various reasons why animals are abandoned on the street, some of these reasons are lack of time to give them adequate attention, economic hardship, unwanted litters, parenting issues. children, new family members or they lose their home. But what animals going through these situations really experience is that some are lucky and others aren’t.
