No matter who you ask, every pet parent will tell you that their dog is absolutely perfect. Even if said dog has trouble following directions or has a chaotic side to them, most humans will tell you that they wouldn’t change a thing about them, and for good reason. For better or worse, our dogs and their personalities are often exactly what we need, and they come to us for a specific reason. While we are sure many would love for them to listen just a tad bit more, our dogs have a million reasons to love them dearly.

That’s the exact sentiment behind one golden retriever mom’s social media post, which detailed all of the little reasons why she loves her golden so much. While many would say it’s the cuddles or the way they walk, this dog mom highlighted some of the less obvious features she adores about her pup.

These features and more are among the little things Maui’s human loves about her golden, and we can’t say we blame her. Even the crazy hair that stands up and the way his fur curls slightly around his ear are small details that have this dog parent obsessed with her pup.

A heartfelt sentiment we are sure that many dog parents can relate to, we can’t help but get emotional over the pure bond between a dog and its human. The comment section was also left in tears by the emotional clip, with many agreeing that those are among their favorite features of their pups. “As a parent of 5 goldens ( three in heaven and two on earth ) I completely understand and approve this message!!!” added one proud pet parent. Another commented, “Aww.. you are my type of dog lover. I thought I’m the only one who is enjoying these cute little things..”

Such a cute love letter to her pup, we can’t get enough of this beautiful video, even if it does get a little blurry at the end. (That might just be us.)
