• Rescue dog Rosie drops her tough act at the vet.
• Video of Rosie’s transformation delights viewers.
• Rosie’s story highlights the trust rescue animals can build.

A 12-year-old rescue dog named Rosie recently demonstrated the incredible bond she shares with her favorite veterinarian, charming audiences online.

Rosie initially tried to put on a fierce act at her veterinary center, but her demeanor softened the moment she recognized her beloved vet.

Maria Wulf, Rosie’s owner, shared the clip on September 12, capturing the delightful transformation.

Viewers saw Rosie growling and appearing tough, only to quickly change her behavior upon seeing a familiar face.

The video, showcasing the trust that rescue animals can develop, has since garnered over 216,600 views.

“She had a very traumatic past which resulted in her losing one of her legs and as a result she is very dramatic in how she behaves with dogs and people she does not know,” Wulf explained.

Rosie’s defensive behavior stems from her difficult past, making her initial reactions understandable.

Despite her tough exterior, Wulf describes Rosie as “full of love” and constantly seeking attention and cuddles.

“She is honestly really embarrassing to walk, though,” Wulf added.

“She loses her mind at everyone we see until she gets to the field where we play fetch, and she becomes an entirely different dog.”

This duality in Rosie’s behavior is evident in the video.

In the waiting room, she put on a brave front, barking and attempting to appear intimidating.

However, her act quickly dissipated once she saw someone she trusts.

Wulf’s use of a cushioned muzzle has been a practical solution to managing Rosie’s dramatic displays, ensuring peace of mind for herself and others.

“She’s nowhere near as strong as she thinks,” Wulf said.

“But I had problems for years trying to get a muzzle that she would accept.”

The video has led to plenty of laughter online, as viewers poked fun at Rosie’s deep growl and how quickly it stopped.

“She was not ready for her [favorite] vet to see her other personality,” one viewer said.

Another added: “She sounds a lot bigger than she actually is.”

An overlaid text on the video reads: “When you’re tryna act vicious but your favorite vet calls you.”

Rosie had been rehomed from a Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) shelter.

The RSPCA is an animal welfare charity operating in England and Wales.
