A heartwarming video clip of Steve, a man reconciling with his daughter’s dog named Bitsy, has taken TikTok by storm. What makes Bitsy special is that she was born deaf and blind. However, this did not prevent Hayden Kristal from adopting her at the young age of five weeks. Initially, they were worried about how the pup would cope with life, but she quickly proved them wrong. According to Hayden, “Bitsy has been independent since day one. When I brought her home, she immediately made a beeline for the food dish, snuck into it, and ate until she passed out.”
Half a decade has passed, yet the charming and lively dog named Bitsy remains as captivating as ever. Despite the challenges brought about by COVID-19 restrictions, she continues to relish spending time with her mother, siblings, and other relatives. Due to safety protocols, they were compelled to reside with their extended family for the past year, which unfortunately meant that Bitsy and her father had to be apart for a prolonged period of time.
As per the text, the father was worried that the dog, Bitsy, would forget him after being separated for a year. However, his fear proved to be baseless as soon as the dog recognized him in an instant. Bitsy jumped up and down while licking the man’s face, showing her affection towards him. Steve, being her grandpa, was equally thrilled to see the pup and kept smiling throughout the reunion.
On his Facebook post, Steve expressed his delight as he approached his furry friend, who immediately became ecstatic upon catching his scent. Steve couldn’t help but feel the same way and was reminded of how remarkable Bitsy is, despite missing certain abilities. He praised her for having a resilient and splendid spirit, evident in the video he shared, which showcased their strong bond.
Hayden’s granddog is the apple of her father’s eye and he spends as much time as he can with her. The love he has for the dog is beyond what he could have imagined and he takes on the role of her biggest supporter and fan. He enjoys bragging about the dog’s amazing qualities and how much he adores her to anyone who will listen. As a typical grandfather, he spoils her with treats and toys and the dog enjoys nothing more than just being in his company.
Bitsy and her mom have gone on numerous adventures around the United States including hiking, canoeing, riding the subway, and even skating. According to Hayden, Bitsy is the kindest, most compassionate, and loyal dog out there. She has a fearless and adventurous spirit that exudes confidence and charm. Additionally, Bitsy has developed a fondness for ribs and BBQ sauce.
In an Instagram post, Hayden shared that Bitsy has taught her valuable lessons about love, life, and the art of devouring a rotisserie chicken before getting caught by an authority figure trying to retrieve the leftover shrapnel from her thieving hyena jaws.
How lovely it is to have the whole family reunited! According to Pet Place, the sense of smell is very important for dogs, even more so than sight and hearing. This means that a dog without hearing will rely on their sense of touch and smell to detect the presence of a person, forging an even stronger bond with their human companions. To make them feel secure and comfortable, it is best to maintain a consistent routine, keeping their bedding and feeding bowls in the same spot whenever possible.
Many people are wondering about the extent of a dog’s memory. Hachi waited for his owner at the train station for many years, but was there more to it than just loyalty and routine? According to Swifto, dogs have a distinct way of storing, analyzing, and recalling memories that differs from humans.
It’s likely that they don’t remember every meal they’ve had because their short-term memory isn’t the best. This could be why they constantly ask for more food. They have an associative memory, which means they don’t necessarily remember things as distinct memories, but rather based on the associations they make. In the case of Bitsy, it’s possible that she recognized her grandfather by his voice and scent, which acted as a reminder of who he was.
There is no need to fret about your furry companion forgetting you. Even if you come across a stray pup, there are many ways to help them, so don’t stress and start enjoying some puppy love! Just make sure to adopt responsibly and provide for your pets.
Our sincere wishes go out to Bitsy and her family, and we look forward to following their adventures and zest for life.
