Watch This Adorable Dog Show Love By Petting Other Pups At Daycare
Ruby, a German Shorthair Pointer, has made quite an impression at The Den Doggy Daycare, where she often accompanies her canine brother, Miles.
Unlike other dogs who chase or wrestle to make friends, Ruby has a truly unique approach—she pets her fellow pups.
A Paw That Says “Hello”
Instead of jumping around or barking, Ruby gently reaches out her paw to other dogs as if to greet them.

Her gesture might confuse her new friends at first, but soon enough, they seem to enjoy her attention. Some even come back for more, loving the calm and affectionate interaction.
One dog owner, Alanah Lorraine, who frequently brings her dog Lexy to the daycare, was the first to notice Ruby’s unusual behavior.

The comment sections were filled with admiration, theories, and playful discussions about why Ruby behaves this way.
“My dog does the same,” they wrote on Reddit. “About half the time it’s because he wants to play and the other half is because he’s trying to get their attention.”
Others speculated it might be a mimicry of human behavior or even a subtle way to initiate play.
A clever user added that it could be a mild form of dominance behavior often seen in dogs trying to bond or interact.
