Rottweilers are large dogs with strong, muscular bodies. They have gained a (not completely accurate) reputation as tough guys!
If you’ve ever questioned whether Rotties have a soft side, then take a look at the video below.
As popular as it is adorable...
The super cute video (which has nearly 2 million views!) shows Nala the Rottweiler and her human owner. Her owner pretends to start crying to see how Nala will react and her response is the sweetest thing you’ll see today.
When Nala sees her owner covering her face and beginning to “cry,” she immediately looks worried. She restlessly paces around her owner before pawing her to get her attention.
A much-needed hug!
When none of this seems to have the desired impact, Nala nuzzles her head between her owner's hands and gives her a big, doggy hug!
Little Nala, of course, doesn't realise that these tears are her owner trying to gauge how she’ll react to her sadness. And so, the pup does what comes naturally to her and immediately tries to cheer her owner up.
Not surprisingly, gorgeous Nala has become something of an Instagram celebrity among pet lovers.
She has a whopping 188,000 followers on Instagram who check in regularly to see videos and pictures of her and her doggy brother Axel.
Be careful, though. Watching them might make you want to instantly adopt a Rottie. These gorgeous dogs have an unfair reputation and so often end up in shelters when owners decide they’re not the dogs they’re looking for.
We’re glad that Nala has a loving home and an owner who understands her soppy ways.
