Dogs usually enjoy receiving a good scratch behind the ear or a belly rub. Typically, they’re not the ones giving out the scratches and pets. But one dog from Canada is the exception to this rule.
She loves petting her friends.
Bred primarily for hunting, German shorthaired pointers are friendly and loyal dogs. These gundogs crave attention and are eager to please their humans.
With an abundance of energy, German shorthaired pointers love going for hikes and other forms of exercise. Always ready to head out the door on an adventure, this breed even has webbed feet perfect for swimming.
Ruby the shorthaired pointer not only loves being active, but she adores other dogs. She’s exceptionally friendly toward everyone, so much so that a touching video showing Ruby’s kindheartedness is circulating online and winning over people everywhere.
Even cat lovers can’t pass up this beautiful video that shows Ruby’s friendliness!
When Ruby’s at doggie daycare called The Den Doggy Daycare in Burlington, Ontario, she can’t help but show everyone with four legs how much she appreciates them. She actually pets the other dogs like a human!
Her buddy Lexy’s human Alanah Lorraine of Ontario, Canada, captured Ruby working the crowd at daycare in a video she shared on TikTok. She captioned the video, “Ruby always trying to make friends!”
The account We Rate Dogs reposted Alanah’s video on Twitter, where it quickly went viral. In the video, we can see Ruby patting a golden retriever with her paw.
The other dog loves it so much that it rolls over and awaits a belly rub! Except Ruby hasn’t quite mastered that yet.
Another clip reveals Ruby showing friendliness toward another pooch. It’s a German shorthaired pointer that looks just like her — because it’s her brother Miles!
The look on her face is absolutely precious when he just sits there and allows her to pet him! No snipping or snapping between these too siblings even when Ruby invades his personal space.
Some brothers think sisters are pesky, but Miles apparently loves his sister enough to allow her to pet him no matter how unimpressed he looks.
“She usually starts with her brother Miles and as the other dogs in daycare start to chill out, she will get to work on them as well. Miles doesn’t seem interested in giving pets, just receiving. We think it started with trying to get Miles’ attention or to play with him and just evolved from there, most of her friends at daycare don’t mind and see it as her playing with them.”
The two of them find another friend to hang with and while sitting beside the black furry dog, Ruby repeatedly pats him. As that same dog walks by, Ruby places her paw on its back in a gentle gesture of affection.
Alanah began filming Ruby’s paws of affection while in the act and recently decided to compile the clips together. She posted the video on TikTok, where it wracked up thousands of likes.
Newfound fans of Ruby’s praise the pup’s sweetness and kindhearted treatment of others.
One person coined her the “dog pope” and joked that Ruby was walking around blessing everyone. Someone asked if she could be Ruby’s friend because “I want her to pat me all the time.”
“My heart just grew 10 times larger watching Ruby making friends. What an amazing dog Ruby is.”
Ruby is an adorable and affectionate pup who isn’t afraid to show her fellow dogs some love. What a cutie!
