Watching heartwarming videos of animals and their humans can really tug at the heartstrings. Whether it’s a toddler who’s attached to their new kitten or a grandparent and their grand-dog, the results almost always leave people melting into a puddle by the end of the clip.
Every video posted by @chewythenewfie brings this exact response, and his followers wouldn’t have it any other way. Chewy is a Newfoundland with a very special person in his life. His 96-year-old great-grandmother lives right next door to him, and the bond these two share is positively magical.
In a recent clip, Grandma calls out to Chewy from the dining room. Sitting at her sewing machine, she says, “Chewy, come here.” After the fluffy pup comes to her side, she continues, “I’m making a dog toy for you!”
According to the caption, she spent all day sewing fabric together to make the gentle giant a new toy. The love and care she put into the braided rope toy is sure to bring tears to a few viewers’ eyes. This sweet great-grandma has probably sewn countless items over her more than 96 years on earth, but she made an extra-special one for her best friend Chewy—and we’re tearing up at her thoughtfulness.

Once her creation is ready, she and Chewy give it a test drive. She swings the rope toward him, and he gently grabs it in his mouth. You can feel their connection through the screen.

Another viewer wrote, “Grandma would do anything for her bestie!” while someone else pointed out, “So precious—he loves your grandma so much!”
There’s no doubt about it: These two are a matched set, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
