Watching a beloved dog grow old is one of the hardest things a pet owner can go through.
A recent video captured that exact feeling, showing a senior Australian Shepherd doing her best to get up onto the guest bed, even though she was no longer walking well. The owner shared the emotional clip on TikTok through the account @kaylamarie52492, and it quickly moved people all over the world.
As of the time of writing, the video has pulled in more than 400K likes on the platform.
Senior Dog Gives It Her All to Get on The Bed
A touching TikTok video showed a senior Australian Shepherd trying to jump onto the guest bed while her owner was away at work. The sweet girl was struggling to walk, which made the moment even harder to watch.
The clip spread across social media and left many viewers with heavy hearts. In the caption, the dog’s owner wrote, “Pov you’re at work and your dog who isn’t walking well anymore tries to get a running start to get on the guest bed.”
The video opens with a close-up of the senior dog standing in front of the bed. As the clip continues, you can see her back up to give herself a running start, trying her hardest to make the jump.
She just couldn’t get up onto it, and the whole thing is genuinely difficult to watch. Anyone who has ever loved a dog will feel this one deeply.
People flooded the comments section with their thoughts and feelings about the senior pup. One viewer wrote, “The panting indicates that she’s in pain.”
The owner replied directly to that comment, saying, “Yes, vet confirmed she’s in a lot of pain, she got some pain meds until it’s time to say goodbye.”
