New York Dad Had Strict Rules About His Daughter’s New Puppy, Until Their First Meeting
When Nadine decided to get a puppy, her dad was concerned about the responsibility. But from their very first meeting, little Phoebe completely stole his heart, leading to an unbreakable bond.
The Sound Of The Lock
Whenever Nadine is in her flat and her dad comes to visit, her puppy, Phoebe, knows exactly what is happening.
Before he even opens the door, Phoebe can hear the lock turning.
She gets so excited that she doesn’t know what to do with herself, jumping around with her tail wagging like crazy.
A Case Of The Zoomies
When Nadine’s dad finally walks in, he often brings flowers and a warm greeting.
Phoebe’s excitement is so overwhelming that it usually takes 10 to 15 minutes of pure zoomies for her to settle down.
But as soon as her favorite person starts cuddling her and giving her his full attention, she begins to calm down.
Like A Real Granddaughter
Nadine says that sometimes it seems like Phoebe is her dad’s actual granddaughter.
She admits that the two of them have bonded on a level that is way deeper than she ever could have imagined.
It’s a connection that is built on pure love and mutual adoration.
A Childhood Dream
Nadine had always wanted a dog, especially when she was a kid.
When she finally decided to make that dream a reality, her dad was initially a little bit concerned.
He worried about the responsibility and how a pet might limit certain activities.
Breaking The Ice
Despite his initial reservations, the ice between Nadine’s dad and Phoebe broke quite quickly.
Phoebe quickly became a cute little teddy bear in his eyes.
While Phoebe accepted Nadine as her mom, doing everything together, she clearly had a special place in her heart for her grandpa.
Setting Rules That Didn’t Last
Nadine had expected her dad to be more thrilled with the idea of having a dog at first.
He would say things like, "They’re not going to do this, they’re not going to do that," or "Oh, they’re not going to hop on the bed."
But those strict rules wouldn’t last very long once he actually met her.
A Sweet First Meeting
Their first meeting was incredibly sweet.
Phoebe would run up to the door and jump right at him.
By their second meeting, she seemed to remember him, and his strict rules quickly started to fade.
A Change Of Heart
Soon enough, Nadine’s dad was the one suggesting that Phoebe sleep with him or stay in different places.
His initial concerns about responsibility completely melted away.
He realized that having a pet is something truly nice.
Waiting By The Door
The bond is so strong that when Nadine’s dad leaves her space, Phoebe is often a little bit confused.
She will wait by the door in the hallway for a while, clearly missing him.
Nadine jokingly has to remind her puppy, "Don’t forget about me."
Returning The Love
For Nadine’s dad, seeing how much the little dog loves him is incredibly special.
He says that returning that kind of love is a wonderful feeling.
Nadine is thrilled that her puppy loves to bond with him so much, calling it more than she could ever ask or wish for.
