This Sweet Dog Gets So Worried When His Owner Takes a Shower He Brings a Comfort Toy
By Aimee LutkinUpdated Nov. 18 2019, 2:18 p.m. ET
Animals don't really understand our habits, but they're generally supportive. Especially dogs, unless you're riding something with wheels. A lot of them hate that. But one thing some pets don't get is our desire to clean ourselves all over with disgusting water. So gross.
Twitter user @RudeWeaver posted photos of their dog bringing some emotional support to the harrowing shower experience. Apparently, Clark the dog hates baths, so he figured his human probably needs a fun toy to get through the experience of washing. He very graciously loaned one of his own. "Every time I'm in the shower my dog stares at me, worried, and he must assume I'm upset in here (because he hates baths) so he thinks if drops his toy in that I'll feel better," he wrote.
What a sweet doggo! We should all be so lucky to have a kind, supportive friend that like, amiright?!

— Rude (@rudeweaver) January 13, 2018Here's the face of initial concern. You can just feel the love and neuroticism radiating from this pic.
Then, there's the deposit. The gentle drop proving that he is truly facing his fear (the shower) for the person he loves so much.
And the hopeful check-in. Again, just risking it all to make sure the gift was well received.
"Are you okay?" his eyes beg to know. Ow, my heart.
People are sharing their brave and helpful doggo stories — and it just proves that we don't deserve dogs.
mine tried to save my from a large marauding pig the other day who just *happened* to wander into my laundry (don't ask). She was very scared but trying hard to send it out. When I came in she leapt in front of me to protect me even though she was scared. *My Hero*

Damn, dogs are good people!

— Gavin Jeffers (@GavinJeffers) January 14, 2018This is too sweet. My dog never did this with toys, but she would always lay patiently right outside to make sure I completed my showers successfully. 😂 So long as I left the door cracked...if not she’d scratch at it until I opened it and she could make eye contact. 😭

Humans don't deserve this

Thought you might be distant cousins. Lol! (My dog Bailey is in the background wrapped up in blankies) pic.twitter.com/hpmGUJgPTP
— Ilene Costello (@costello_ilene) January 15, 2018Clark seems very excited by all the attention:
He says he loves you pic.twitter.com/smipQDBjbF

— Rude (@rudeweaver) January 15, 2018For some reason, there are a lot of people arguing about this video, so @RudeWeaver stepped in to explain stuff:
Also if anyone is wondering why I had my phone in the shower it's because he does this every time and I wanted to finally get it on camera haha
— Rude (@rudeweaver) January 13, 2018@ everyone saying he just wants to play or for us to throw the toy- no, each shower he stays for a good 10 minutes staring and being upset then eventually brings the toy and if you throw it he looks at you like you offended his ancestors and doesn't bring it back
— Rude (@rudeweaver) January 14, 2018This wonderful dog isn't playing. We don't deserve these good boys.
