For fathers, do you remember how you cared for your spouse during her pregnancy?
Of course, you do. You may look back on those days when you took on extra responsibilities, running errands and managing household tasks solo. But know that you weren’t alone in that experience.
While not every partner may have had the same journey, there’s a popular video that captures this beautifully: it shows a golden retriever caring for its partner during childbirth, offering a heartwarming reminder of the support that can come in different forms.
These Golden Retrievers have become internet sensations. Initially, they were seen peacefully sleeping next to each other. But as soon as the female dog woke up, the male sprang into action, rushing to the AC switch and adjusting the temperature to make her comfortable.
Next, he picked up a small bowl with his mouth and trotted over to the kitchen. Carefully placing it in the sink, he stretched out a paw to turn on the faucet, filling the bowl with water. Feeling accomplished, he happily returned to his mate.
After she drank, he fetched her leash. Although she’s pregnant, staying active is important for her health. Instead of waiting for their owner to take them to the park, he grabbed the leash himself, gently holding it as he led his mate on a walk.
This gave the dad dog a chance to run some errands. During this part of the day, he ventured into the kitchen to help prepare dinner for his partner.
Chicken, fish, shrimp, and a few vegetables sounded like great options. Daddy dog also lent a paw with the cleaning and even took out the trash.
He’s truly a gentleman at dinner. Even when he’s famished from all his hard work, he always lets his partner eat her fill first, knowing she’s eating for their pups as well.
Later, when he suggested going for a run after dinner, something unexpected happened. His wife insisted on staying home.
That’s when the labor began. Sensing what was about to unfold, the devoted fur parents quickly prepared a cozy nest for her. What had once been a private space for just the two of them was now transformed into a warm home for their growing family.
One by one, the puppies made their entrance into the world, emerging from their mother. Their owners carefully cleaned each one before allowing them to nurse.
Meanwhile, the owners provided her with easily digestible meals to support her through the process.
The adorable retriever soon became a proud father, welcoming seven healthy puppies into the family. Each pup sports a unique, colorful collar that collectively resembles a vibrant rainbow.
Just like that, the daddy dog is back to his duties, but this time he’s not just caring for one dog; he’s watching over his partner and their little ones.
With the reliability that this adorable young pup demonstrated, we can be confident they’ll be just fine.
