Quick Smiles:

• Karl the Staffordshire bull terrier’s touching farewell to his grandma captivated the internet.
• The viral video has garnered over 1.3 million views on TikTok.
• Dogs often form special bonds with people beyond their primary caregivers.

A delightful video from Vancouver, Canada, has taken the internet by storm, featuring Karl, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and his affectionate farewell routine with his grandma.

The clip, shared by @karl.and.jan on TikTok, shows Karl attempting to prevent his grandma from leaving by wrapping her in a hug with his paws.

“When it’s time for grandma to go home,” reads the overlay text, capturing the bittersweet moment.

The caption adds, “The worst part of any day is when grandma has to go back to her house.”

It’s no secret that dogs often have a favorite human, and for Karl, his grandma clearly tops the list.

As Kait Hembree, a veterinary behavior nurse, explains, a dog will do anything to be near the person they adore.

They might wag their tail, maintain soft eye contact, or rub their face against you, all signs of affection and comfort.

Interestingly, dogs can develop strong bonds with several people.

Georgia-based veterinarian Jess Kirk notes that each favorite can hold a special place for different reasons, without affecting the bond with their primary caregiver.

If you feel you’re not your dog’s favorite, fear not!

Spending more quality time, enjoying long walks, and offering the occasional treat can help you climb the ranks.
