Most dogs can’t resist food, gobbling it down in seconds. But one small dog showcased a surprisingly different reaction that has become a hit on TikTok.
In a viral video from user @caneloupe, the dog was chilling under a table with a tiny tomato nestled under her chin, a gift from her owner. Instead of devouring it, she guarded her new treasure fiercely.
For two entire days, this pup treated the tomato as if it were her very own puppy, staying close and watchful, day and night. Her dedication was evident as she ensured that nothing would disrupt their special bond.
Viewers were captivated, racking up over 1.1 million views. One cheeky caption read: “And she’ll never be able to take care of her puppies.”
The moment her owner approached, the dog switched into protective mode, gently licking and carefully relocating the tomato before snuggling it back under her chin. One can only hope she didn’t press it too hard against the ground—no one wants to witness the heartbreak of a ruined tomato after such a beautiful connection.
‘Emotional Support Tomato’
This charming display of affection for the tomato quickly resonated with viewers, earning over 221,400 likes and 491 comments as of Thursday.
Comments flooded in, with one user noting, “She’s so kind n gentle,” while another humorously dubbed it “Her emotional support tomato.”
Some viewers expressed envy at the tomato’s pampered life, wishing they, too, could be cared for so lovingly. Interestingly, it seems this isn’t an isolated case—one user shared, “My dog did the same thing, and when he popped it, he was so sad,” while another added, “My dog does this with blueberries.”
