Dad Gets Similar 'Cone Of Shame' As His Dog To Make Him Feel Less Alone
Ollie was having a rough time with his cone of shame, and his family noticed it right away. The little plastic collar was doing its job after his minor surgery, but it also left the dog looking miserable and a little sorry for himself.
That did not sit well with Alex’s dad, who decided the best way to cheer Ollie up was to match him cone for cone. He found a second Elizabeth collar, put it on, and turned a gloomy recovery into something the whole family could laugh about.
It was a small gesture, but it made a big difference, and the video of the moment says plenty on its own.
“Ollie was just really sad with the cone on,” Alex, Ollie’s owner, told The Dodo.
"He just moped around and was feeling really sorry for himself.”
Alex’s dad did not like seeing his buddy like that, so he decided to join in.
He managed to find a second cone of shame and put it on himself.
“I just laughed and called my mum to come and see, too,” Alex said.
That was enough to make the whole moment even better.
It also reminds us of the grieving boyfriend who reacted unexpectedly after his lady gifted a new puppy.
“Ollie definitely seemed a little happier,” Alex added.
"Ollie's doing great. His stitches have healed nicely," Alex said. "They’re both cone-free now. Ollie only had to wear it for a week. My dad only lasted a few hours!"
Now that Ollie doesn't have to worry about ruining his stitches, he and his dad don't have to wear the cones of shame anymore. Ollie appreciated his dad's empathetic action, and it helped him overcome his sadness.
Props to the dad for being an amazing, loving dog owner; he went above and beyond for his dog, and that's something you don't see often.
Some dads really do commit to the bit.
For another “he was about to give up” moment, watch how a disabled dog sheds tears of joy after being shown love.
