German Shepherd ‘Greets Parents Like War Heroes' After Errands Like the Best Baby
German Shepherd 'Greets Parents Like War Heroes' After Errands Like the Best Baby originally appeared on Parade Pets.
Leaving our pets is not an easy task. No one wants to leave them! If we could, I'm sure every pet parent in the world would take our pups with us everywhere. Unfortunately, that's just not possible, so there are times when they have to stay at home.
Coming home to them is an amazing feeling, though. They greet us like we've been away for years, even if it's just been a couple of minutes! On Friday, July 11th, one German Shepherd took this hero's greeting to another level:
McKenna Lopez has the babiest dog in the history of baby dogs. He may be full-grown, but he truly is the biggest baby around!This boy's name is not shared anywhere on his mom's TikTok, but there are plenty of videos about him. He's the sweetest: whenever he can, he accompanies his parents in adventures! They go on road trips, on walks, and out to other places.
Unfortunately, there are just some places he's not allowed to visit. He's very well-behaved, but he's not legally a service dog. He's not allowed in most stores or restaurants, which means that errand day is a very sad day for him!
That's okay. He makes up for it by taking up most of mom's bed every night:
German Shepherds are a high-needs breed. They need a lot of exercise and attention to stay happy, otherwise they may develop issues like destructive tendencies or anxiety. If they're left alone for long periods every day, they may get bored.
However, it's also important to train them on how to be alone. Dogs should be able to be alone for an hour or two, at least. Dogs with severe separation anxiety can be medicated or even put in daycare/boarding facilities to avoid being alone.
Despite the fact that he greets them like they just got back from the war, this sweet boy does great at home alone! He just loves and misses his parents at the same time. He's perfect!
