Pet owners frequently demonstrate their unconditional love for their furry companions in touchy ways. Recently, a heartwarming video has gained widespread attention online for showcasing the welcoming of a dog’s puppy according to traditional Indian customs. In the video, two young siblings, a girl and a boy, are seen holding a Rottweiler puppy in their arms, while a woman performs aarti (a ritual) with a puja thali. Once the ceremony is concluded, the young girl lovingly brings the puppy into the house and gently places it on the floor.

Shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the caption accompanying the video read, “An Indian family welcoming a puppy to their family.”

A user exclaimed, “This is so adorable – I love it,” while another remarked, “This is the traditional way of welcoming anyone new be it a baby or daughter in law, or after a very long time.” “Whelp, I just died from cuteness,” a person added.

An individual explained the significance of the ritual in India, stating, “Parents don’t want any bad omens to enter their home along with the dog. So they do this ritual to stop all the bad luck at the front door and the family will be safe.”

“Those who rear animals know how special their pets are to them. They consider their pets to be a part of their family. I too had pet cats and so I can understand the feelings of every pet owner,” an X user wrote.

“Aww! Little pup in wiggly paws’ paradise, joining India’s family, hearts full,” a comment read.

A user jokingly wrote, “The puppy’s reaction is like why there are no treats on the plate?”

This is not the only instance where Indians have showcased their unique style to express their love for their pets. Another cheering example comes from an old viral video featuring a groom dressed in a traditional Indian sherwani, making a grand entrance at his wedding venue while riding a bike. What made the scene even more endearing was that his beloved pet dog, also adorned in a sherwani, accompanied him on the bike ride. The sight of the groom and his furry companion dressed in matching attire melted hearts online.
