The reason a dog was deemed a “father” at doggy daycare left the owner pleasantly surprised.
Pet parent TJ, known on TikTok as @tj_cosplays, picked up their dog named Cubby from daycare one day and left with new information about their canine. Much to her surprise, the doggy daycare volunteered Cubby to be a stand-in “father” at the facility.
Not that TJ doesn’t believe Cubby could be a great father. She knows he’s a sweet and gentle dog, but she’s not used to hearing about his praise around other dogs, especially involving puppies.
“He gets along well with dogs at daycare, but is leash reactive,” TJ told Newsweek via TikTok. “I’ve never seen him around puppies before, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear he does well with them.”
In his new role at the daycare, workers place Cubby in the puppy group. He helps teach them to be a dog. TJ explained in a May 20 TikTok video (@tj_cosplays) that the daycare praised Cubby’s “good temperament,” earning him the title of “uncle” in the mom-and-pop group. While with the pups, Cubby shows them how to dog. He’ll correct the puppies for any unwanted behavior or if they’re being too hyper when needed.
Surprised by this new job for Cubby, TJ said she jokingly responded to the daycare: “You mean MY dog?”
He might act like a perfect angel while at the daycare, but TJ saw a different side before dropping him off.
She said: “Everyone keeps saying he’s a good boy, but when I dropped him off that weekend, he was literally trying to drag me by my clothes back with him.”
Viewer Reactions
As of Tuesday, the TikTok video reached over 4.6 million views and 823,200 likes. People praised Cubby for his promotion at the daycare, whether he wanted the new position or not.
“When you accidentally get too important at work,” commented a viewer, while a second added: “He’s not going to daycare he’s going to work.”
A third person pointed out: “The awkward rolling around when mom is bragging about you.”
Several doggy daycare employees chimed in: “As someone who manages a daycare, y’all should take that as high praise. It takes a very specific dog to be able to be trusted to do that.”
