Cute gesture for elderly dog

In the viral video, a guy is playing with his two pets in the park at sunset. One is old and slow, while the other is young and full of energy.

He throws two balls, one far away for the young pooch and another close for the senior dog, as he isn’t able to run as far.

The older dog picks up the ball and returns proudly as she thinks she has caught it quicker than her younger brother.

Then, the younger pup comes back with his ball but lingers behind, letting his older sister feel like she has won.

They said that throwing two balls is the “best way to motivate your senior dogs to live longer and happier”.

Dog packs his belongings

The same dogs, Goldie and Aussie, went viral earlier this year after the young pup did one really adorable thing.

Every February, the couple go on an annual ski trip and Aussie the Australian Shepherd saw them packing their snow boots.

He ran, grabbed his own snow boots and gave them to his owner to pack in the suitcase too as if to say: “I’m coming too!”

It left them in tears, and the owners joked: “We will never make a trip without them again.”

In the comments, people said they had to take the pooch with them and demanded a photo of Aussie on the slopes.
