The video taken by Jordon captured the exact moment her two pets decided to comfort each other. Her dog’s name is Maggie and the cat is called Pumpkin. This canine and feline are far from the hair-raising enemies often portrayed in cartoons between a dog and cat.
On the contrary, it is clearly seen in the video the gentle touch the dog has with the cat as he pets his furry friend. The cat suddenly jumps up but not in a mean retaliation mode. Instead, you see the cat turn and gently wrap its front legs around the dog’s neck.
This kitty does this much like how a person would wrap their arms around someone to give them a hug. The only thing different – this is a dog and a cat sharing this comforting moment.
The dog even leans his head into the cat like he’s nuzzling him while acknowledging the hug. The dog pets cat – cat hugs dog video shows two animals with very human-like behaviors.
Jordon posted the video to Twitter with the caption “‘Did my dog just pet my cat?? And did my cat just hug my dog??” The answer from around the world is an amazing “yes” and “yes!”
The clip not only has 12 million-plus views and 7,000-plus comments, but it has over 1.2 million likes and it’s been retweeted over 336,000 times in the four days since it was posted on Friday.
