After a long, tiring day, doesn’t it feel good when your dog welcomes you home?
Their pure happiness as they see you slowly go near them, and their energetic jumps as you finally reach the door to give them a pat are very refreshing and stress-relieving.
No matter how busy or hard the day was, a few minutes with your pet dog takes all the fatigue away. It is one of the best moments of each day, knowing that whatever you did or did not do that day, someone will still accept you lovingly and excitedly.
Now, can you imagine being welcomed by a pet other than a dog? And I am not talking about a cat, either.
One pet owner surprised the internet when a video was uploaded on YouTube wherein a pet of his was waiting for him patiently by the door. This pet has a tail, and it has scaly skin, too!
Yup, it is a lizard. And not just like any other lizard. It is a lizard as big as a dog! Although he is not actually a furry canine, he sure does act like one.
The Cayman Brac iguana swiftly crawls across the yard as it tries to get near its owner.
When the man calls Buddy, the iguana, to greet him as he comes home from work, the lizard excitedly closes the gap between them. It moves fast and sure, trying to get closer quicker to his human.
We sure can see in the video that it is quite happy to see the man.
The man pats the iguana as if he is patting a real dog, and the reptile acts like a canine, too.
Does he know that he is an iguana and not a dog? Well, it looks to me as if this lizard is determined to act like a pet dog and would not accept the fact that he isn’t!
Buddy continues to play with his human, trying to get him to pat him some more. I know what you are thinking. Still like a pup, right?
Buddy may be confused about being a reptile, but he sure knows one thing: he loves his human so much.
Who knew iguanas are capable of acting this way? If there is a person to ask about this, then that someone would have to be Dave Durham, the man in this viral video.
His day-to-day activities, which he shares on his YouTube channel, are adventures he takes with his beloved reptiles. His clips give everyone a glimpse and a better understanding of lizards. Watching his videos will make you appreciate the reptiles more!
His video of Buddy greeting him from work has already earned over 43.4 million views on YouTube.
The guy shares just how loveable and adorable lizards are. We may be used to having pet dogs or cats, and find having a family lizard quite bizarre. But, this is actually another fun way to have animals at home, just as Dave shares with his viewers.
Check out Buddy and Dave’s adorable video below.
