Malaysian Man Overwhelmed By Pet Dogs’ Love & Joy Upon His Return
The long-awaited reopening of the Singapore-Malaysia land border caused joyous scenes on the Causeway. Many Malaysians could finally return home to emotional reunions with their loved ones.
But it wasn’t just humans who rejoiced. For one Malaysian man, his dogs gave him a very warm welcome.
@paandichelsea Finally after 486 days….. I meet my babies Simba and Nala🥰😭☹️#goldenretriever #lehlusimbanala #singaporelockdownparithapangal #doglover #simba #Nala
It showed how animals were also affected by the border closures by not being able to see their beloved hoomans.
Pet dogs excited at the gate as Malaysian man returns home
The touching scene was shared on TikTok on Saturday (2 Apr), where it gained over 117,000 likes.
The excitement started before the man even entered the gate, as just the glimpse of its owner on the other side prompted one golden retriever to jump onto it, barking and wagging its tail.
The other golden retriever, who was in a cage, also barked and wagged its tail.
As the owner finally entered, the first dog couldn’t help but shower him with love.
The affection was so overwhelming that the man had to kneel to hug properly.
Welcomed by both dogs
Later, the man has his hands full with both dogs, as they vie for his attention by jumping on him and trying to lick his face.
He soon lies down on the floor to allow them to play more easily.
Separated for 486 days
In his caption, the OP @paandichelsea revealed that his babies, adorably named Simba and Nala, had been separated from him for 486 days.
No wonder they’ve missed him.
He also alluded to the border closures between the two countries with the hashtag “#singaporelockdown”.
He loves them like his children
In a subsequent TikTok posted on Sunday (3 Apr), @paandichelsea shared more quality time with his dogs.
@paandichelsea Possessiveness was not limited to mankind. My dearest SIMBA may also be excessively possessive towards me. I adore them as if they were my own children. I’ll assure them that I’ll be there forever to spend more time with NALA&SIMBA. #goldenretriever #simba #Nala #lehlusimbanala #singaporelockdownparithapangal #fryp
He explained that while Simba was “excessively possessive towards me”, the adoration was reciprocated as he loved Simba and Nala as his own children.
He also said he assured them that he’d be there “forever” to spend time with them.
Animals can show love too
Judging by the comments on his videos, netizens were moved by the unbridled joy Simba and Nala showed.
Their pure devotion reminds us that animals can love and miss their hoomans just as much.
We hope that the border closure situation will happen again, so the loving doggos will be able to spend more time with their owner.
