Deaf Senior Dog Cries And Sings Adorably To Welcome Owner

Deaf Senior Dog Cries And Sings Adorably To Welcome Owner

For a dog owner, the most awaited part of a long day is coming home to your beloved pet.


There is just something about the way dogs greet their parents.


They look genuinely excited and happy to see you. It gives anyone a warm fuzzy feeling inside to know that someone misses you and is awaiting your return.

One 11-year-old Pug shows one of the most adorable ways to welcome his owner home. Although he is already deaf, he lets out charming and funny sounds to express his happiness. In a short video that has made more than two million views, the senior Pug wails, and barks as her mom gives him attention.

As the dog is already a senior, he doesn't run or jump around his owner, as most younger dogs do. He probably doesn't have the same energy as before, and despite the loss of hearing, the dog is very healthy.

Cry for joy

The dog's owner says that the deaf dog doesn't really know what sounds he is making, be he just belts out every time he is excited. Described as very friendly, the senior Pug loves to be around people. Sometimes, the dog even sings when no one is in the same room that he is. They would just suddenly hear him sing.

The dog also loves being rubbed. In the video, you could easily notice that he would lean his head towards his mom's hand as she strokes him. And judging by the volume of his sound, he gets louder as he becomes happier. You could even swear that he is saying, "mama." The dog may not be able to pronounce any words or know what he is actually saying, but one thing is for sure, the happiness in his body language is unmistakable. This is one happy dog. Check out his video below.
