Internet in stitches at dog’s reaction to boyfriend trying to touch owner

Internet users can’t stop laughing at a dog’s hilarious reaction to its owner’s boyfriend trying to get close to her.

In the viral video, shared on TikTok on Monday, under the username @diagnasuarez340, the protective pup can be seen consistently blocking the boyfriend’s attempts to touch his girlfriend, using its paws and muzzle to push his hand away.

The hilarious video comes along with a caption that reads: “Watch what happens when my boyfriend tries to touch me.”

All dog owners love their pups unconditionally, but do the pets love their owners back?

An article posted by VCA Animal Hospitals says that dogs truly do love their owners. In fact, according to the veterinary website, scientific research confirms that parts of the canine brain are associated with positive emotions when dogs interact with their humans.

There are many signs that prove your dog loves you, but perhaps the most obvious one is their excitement to see you. If your pup jumps or barks or gets overly excited when you step through the door, that is because they couldn’t wait to have you back home.

This protective behavior, as showcased in the video, is a testament to the strong bond between dogs and their owners.
