Dog Can’t Get on the Couch After Surgery—So Dad Joins Him on the Floor
When Dublin the Labrador Retriever got ACL surgery, jumping up on the sofa was strictly forbidden while he was healing.

Viewers loved seeing the loving loyalty. One person commented, “That dog appreciates that so much…his paw on him was absolutely adorable.”
“I judge a human by the way he treats his dogs,” said another. “This is fur love at it’s finest.”

Others admitted they’ve done the same. “I did the same for my good boy. I slept next to his pad after surgery and when he got old and could no longer get on the bed,” revealed one commenter. “They are so worth it!” @got_thedub responded.
One person asked, “My dog needs ACL surgery next week, how was the recovery?” @got_thedub answered, “Get him lots of comfortable blankets and good bones. First two weeks are the hardest but it’s so great to see our doggo finally back feeling like his old self.”
One viewer revealed, “We went through this with our dog six months ago. It was such a tough couple of months recovery but so worth it!!!”
