Dogs often greet us with unconditional love and excitement, no matter what kind of day we’ve had. That’s why so many of us strive to make their lives as comfortable and fulfilling as possible.
For dog dad Alan, this devotion is evident in his nightly routine with Kookie, his deaf Springer Spaniel. In a heartwarming video posted on January 27, he carefully arranges Kookie’s bed—complete with a hot water bottle and her favorite toys—to ensure she has the coziest spot possible. Her joy and gratitude shine as she waits eagerly for the final touch before snuggling in.
Deaf dogs like Kookie can still lead full, happy lives. Some are born deaf, while others lose their hearing later in life. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, these pups remain highly attuned to their surroundings. They typically respond well to commands through hand signals or body language. Extra caution is needed in public spaces, where they might not detect dangers such as cars or other hazards.
The loving scene between Alan and Kookie has captivated viewers. One commented on how a person’s kindness to their dog speaks volumes about their character, while another praised the care Alan takes in making Kookie’s bed, calling it a purpose in life. Many noted that dogs deserve to be treated like the kings and queens they are, a sentiment that resonates strongly when watching Kookie’s happiness.
It’s a beautiful reminder that our pets notice and appreciate our efforts. They repay us with loyalty and affection, inspiring us to keep showing our gratitude in ways that make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home.
