Chained Dog’s Incredible Reaction to Human Interaction Will Melt Your Heart
All dogs deserve to run free, but not every dog is so lucky. Some spend the majority of their lives chained up and long for some attention where they can feel loved.
Such is the story of a dog in a viral TikTok video shared by Bev Arlene. The video features a dog who is chained to a pole outside a house. The moment the endearing dog sees a human come towards him, he becomes extremely excited. He is so happy that his tail starts wagging wildly, and he tries his best to jump up and down while being tied to the pole. (watch the video below)

Dog Craves Human Interaction More Than Anything
It is evident from the video that the dog gets excited because this has been his only human interaction in a long time. When the human finally reaches the dog, the animal leaps up in joy and wants to be petted so desperately that it breaks the viewersā hearts.
There is no sign of a family member around the dog, with just a food or water dish nearby. It is possible that the dog has been alone for a long time, longing for a human to come pay him some attention.
The canineās reactions to a random human interacting with him are undoubtedly adorable. But this also raises many questions about how this sweet soul is treated.
Sadness Behind The Joy
From the way he reacts to this stranger coming up to them, itās clear that all he wants is someone to pet him and tell him heās a good boy. Thus, the dog may be showing delight, but it is a sign of how much of a sad life he leads.
Additionally, the comments under the TikTok video suggest that many people share the same view. A user, Velazquez V Eileen, said, āHe wants to play and RUN free.ā Another user, Wendy Christensen, wrote, āHe loves you. You are his one joy.ā
Many users even urge Bev to take the dog somehow. However, Bev explained, “We canāt take them all. This is one of many outreach dogs we assist. We try to get them surrendered. If we ātakeā them, they just replace them āŗļøā
The reality is that there are hundreds if not thousands of dogs who are treated like these. Pet Rescue Advocate Rocky Kanaka says, āThe only way that we can make a change is by showing what happens — the state that these dogs are in.ā
Hence, it is important to share the stories of these dogs so that the public as well as the lawmakers, can understand how inhumane it is.
