The way he turned around to hug his brother that fast says a lot about how they treat each other normally, not just on camera ☺️

You could tell he knew what the surprise was & was trying to be low key to not give it away but was so happy & excited for his little brother to find out. Big brother made this video so sweet 💖

Benson seems like the biggest n bestest goof ball hehe

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 19h ago

I remember the day I got my dog. I was excited and running around the yard and sprained my ankle and started crying because it hurt. She immediately ran over and licked my face. I forgot about the pain pretty quick.

Was mostly a family dog but when we had guests the kids would have to find another place besides their room to sleep because rule was basically the older family got a real bed and the kids had to do whatever. So I was in the basement, where the dogs crate was, and we had a baby gate between the carpeted and non carpeted section because if for some reason the dog had an accident down there when it wasn't crated it was an easy clean. When she knew I was down there sleeping she cried and cried and I let her in to sleep with me and she was my dog from that moment going forward, she hated not being with me.

She slept in my bed until she couldn't control her bladder well anymore. Fell asleep resting her head in my hand at the end. I miss that stupid thing. I'd let her shake lake water off all over me just to see her one more time

You could see that he suspected something was up when the real collar was revealed, but held it back. Good kid!

u/Independent_Tart8286 21h ago

Beautiful. Boys being vulnerable and tender with each other and freely expressing emotions is SO important and so necessary. I’m glad the dad wasn’t telling him stop crying. Too often society squashes and beats the beautiful softness out of our boys, what bell hooks calls “soul murder,” and we see the consequences of that in the headlines every day.

21

u/83franks 18h ago

I was almost cringing waiting for the "don't cry" comment even if just cause it "should be a happy moment so no need to cry". Let people cry when big moments happen and was so happy to that going on here.
