Few things touch your heart like watching a kid and their dog become inseparable, especially when the dog instantly takes on the role of protector. In this video, we meet Meko, a big yet gentle XL Bully, and his little sister, Ari, the human sibling, whom he’s completely devoted to.
Right from the very start, the clip establishes their unique connection with the onscreen text: “Ari didn’t just get a dog that day — she got her shadow, her comfort, her protector, her best friend.”
Video captures XL Bully choosing to be by sister sibling’s side every day
The clip has gone viral, with more than 85K likes and endless comments from people swooning over their bond. From the first frame, it immediately establishes their sweet connection with an in-video caption.
It’s a heartwarming look back in time, beginning with baby Ari toddling toward a small Meko on the bed. Then we see them snuggled up, and later, a slightly older Meko patiently waits for Ari to share a snack on the couch.
It’s such a sweet glimpse of how much these two already understand each other. The montage continues: “Through every giggle, every tear, every moment in between, he’s been there.”
Then we see a fully-grown Meko calmly sleeping, while Ari rests her head on his massive back. Another striking shot shows the XL Bully serving as a comfortable, patient cushion, while she watches something on her iPad.
One doesn’t need words to see how much they mean to each other. The final onscreen text confirms the magic: “And if Meko could speak, I know he’d say, ‘I chose her, and I’d choose her every single time.’” It’s the kind of friendship that makes you smile without even realizing it.
The video’s comment section is overflowing with love. One viewer wrote, “This got me. They have such a beautiful bond together.” Another said, “I’m obsessed with Meko and the bond he has with his sisters — it’s so beautiful to watch.”
