Do you have a pet? Do you talk to them? Of course you do, there’s no shame in it! It’s actually completely normal and sometimes it even reaps the most adorable results.
Sometimes, of course, our pets don’t respond in a particularly meaningful way; we might get an ear twitch, a subtle growl, a meow, or a tail wag here and there. Occasionally, we might be treated to an iconic head tilt and the famous “puppy-dog eyes.” But here’s an example of the crème de la crème of human-puppy interactions.
The puppy’s interactions with his human companion are all completely amazing, but the very best moment of all occurs immediately after Sean tells the puppy that he’s “handsome.” Just watch for yourself what he does; it’s got the internet in peals of laughter.
If you didn’t fall off your chair in a fit of cuteness overload, then kudos to you! We dare you not to come back to this clip time and time again for a pick-me-up in the middle of a monotonous day. Laughter, as they say, is the very best medicine, especially if it comes from a pint-sized French bulldog puppy.
And we’re not alone in loving this.
But why do we do it?
Some even offered guesses as to what the puppy was thinking. “The puppy is saying ‘I want to look tough!’” wrote one. “When dogs snort, it usually means yes,” suggested another, “or that they are agreeing with you.”
So there you have it; we all talk to our animals, and it’s perfectly normal. Not to mention off-the-charts adorable in this case! Go on, go back and watch it again. We’re going to, because we simply can’t resist Sean and his sassy French bulldog’s bandana-clad cuteness!
