The bond between dogs and their parents is truly special. While for you, your furry companion could just be a small chapter in your life, to them, you’re their everything. That is why canines will go to any length to protect their beloved human. Take this Shiba Inu, for instance, who fought his fear to rescue his owner, melting everyone’s hearts online. In the video, the dog gets over his fear of water to rescue his mom promptly.
Instagram video shows Shiba Inu forgetting his fears when it comes to his mom
It is well-known that not every dog is a water-loving pooch. While Golden Retrievers, Portuguese Water Dogs, and a few others are known for their natural affinity for water, the same can’t be said for Shiba Inus. They simply aren’t water dogs. Some Shibas even have a fear of water. Take this pup for instance, who absolutely hates water. However, when it came to rescuing his mom, the canine jumped into the water without any second thoughts.
The touching video uploaded by @shiba_shoko captures how a dog “rescues” his mom from the water. The clip shows the owner enjoying the clear, blue water in the morning. However, Shoko, thinking that his mom is in danger, swims to her to save her. Although she knew how to swim and was not in any danger in the clip, it looks like Shoko was not willing to take any chances.
Without further thought, the pup jumped into action. He “braves his fear of water to rescue” his mom from the middle of the water body. The gesture leaves the pup’s mom a little emotional. She mentioned in the in-video text that she and Shoko had “the truest love.”
Netizens were also touched by the sweet gesture of the pup. One of them commented, “Awwww that’s SO cute.” Another exclaimed, “So cute Shibas are the best!” An individual also pointed out, “He swam to you so fast!” However, some joked that their dogs would never face their fear to rescue them. A user jokingly noted, “Hahah mine would watch me drown.” Another added, “The cutest thing ever! mine would be like, ‘oh, so you think you’re funny mom?’”
