The dog won't stop petting her Doggy friends

Ruby and her brother Miles love spending time at Den Doggy Kindergarten in Burlington, Ontario. The two German Shorthaired Pointers are regular operators at the facility and they have really made a name for themselves. After all, Ruby made a big impression on the employees because of her peculiar habits.

Ruby loves petting other dogs. Every time she goes to daycare, she insists on pampering as many dogs as possible. No one knows exactly why she did this, but the whole world fell in love with her quirky personality.

All dogs deserve pets

The staff at the nursery explained that Ruby tries to pet the other dogs almost every day. She starts out with just petting Miles, but then she gradually moves on to petting all of her new friends as well. Miles has never tried to pet any other dogs, that’s just Ruby’s business.

“We think it started with trying to get Miles’ attention or playing with him and just grew from there. Most of her friends at daycare don’t mind and see it as a scene of her playing with them,” said Spencer from The Den Doggy Daycare.

One day, Alanah Lorraine, the mother of another dog at the nursery, spotted Ruby petting the other dogs. She enjoys it very much, so she pays close attention to Ruby’s behavior every time she stops. She thinks it’s just Ruby’s way of asking for attention.

Lorraine finally begins recording Ruby’s encounters with the dogs. Whenever she caught Ruby in action, she would record it. In the end, she combined all the clips together into a silly montage of Ruby petting other dogs.

Ruby Goes Viral

At first, Lorraine just thought it would be a cute and funny video to share. She first posted it on TikTok just for fun, but it quickly gained attention and received thousands of views. Suddenly, people shared it all over social media.

“I thought it would be lovely,” Lorraine said, “but I never imagined it would go viral.”

It is difficult to know exactly what Ruby’s pets mean. Many dogs pounce on people because they want attention or they want someone to play with them. But usually, they pounce on people, not other dogs. Luckily, the dogs weren’t bothered by the pampered Ruby, although they seemed very confused by it.

Thanks to Ruby’s viral video, she’s finally getting the attention she craves. Hopefully humans will give her more pets of her own in return.
