Earning a foster dog\u2019s trust is a major achievement, and this adorable Instagram video from @allthefosterpups shows a foster dad doing just that. The video features a foster dog, Fresh, as the on-screen text says, \u201cwatch my foster dog start trusting my husband for the first time,\u201d and there it is, a dad earning a scared dog\u2019s trust gently and slowly. She even lets him pet her and give her belly rubs, and what could be better than that?<\/p>\n
In the video, the foster dog<\/a> comes to trust her dad, and the caption explains that it did not happen overnight, explaining that Fresh \u201cwas too scared of dog dad to go near him at first,\u201d and that it took \u201ca couple days for her to feel safe enough to let him get close.\u201d Moreover, the caption revealed that she watched their resident dogs accept affection from him, \u201cgot curious and finally let him pet her.\u201d And finally, \u201csuddenly she was all in, giving love right back.\u201d<\/p>\n Fresh starts out tense as her eyes appear cautious. The foster dad keeps his distance, lowering himself to her level and speaking softly as she stretches, remarking, \u201cBig stretch!\u201d and asking, How are you?\u201d as he lets her take in his presence without pressure.<\/p>\n When Fresh yawns, he gently asks permission to let him pet her as Fresh stays put \u2014 and then he reaches in slowly and pets her. He even rewards her with calm praise, saying, \u201cGood girl. Yes.\u201d<\/p>\n Then Fresh rolls onto her back and offers her belly \u2014 the ultimate sign of trust in the whole video. Dad does not rush it. He rubs her belly and talks to her like they have known each other for years, asking, \u201cWow, are we best friends? Yes,\u201d seemingly stunned by how fast she went all-in.<\/p>\n The clip ends with Fresh doing the sweetest thing possible as she brings her face close and gives dad a gentle lick. In the end, this dog may be a foster, and she may have taken her sweet time to open up, but seeing her trust her dad was the sweetest part of the video.<\/p>\n The post \u2018Scared\u2019 Foster Dog Learns To Trust Dad, Lets Him Get Close & Pet Her<\/a> appeared first on DogTime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Earning a foster dog\u2019s trust is a major achievement, and this adorable Instagram video from @allthefosterpups shows a foster dad doing just that.
