"When you're woken up at 2 a.m. by your dog carrying his daughter into the bed for snuggles," a caption on the video said.
The touching meeting led the owner to feel that the puppy was Dex's favorite and that he wanted her to stay in the home.
"Dex decided that we're keeping her; I guess this is his way of letting me know," the TikToker said. "It's the little head tuck at the end for me."
Newsweek has contacted huskysaurusdex for comment via TikTok.
Introducing Dogs to Each Other
According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are several things pet owners should consider when introducing a new dog to an existing one in the household, which include:
- Introducing the two dogs on neutral territory, namely outdoors, and walking them at a distance from one another.
- Pay attention to each dog's body language and take note if they are indicating a defensive or wary response when meeting the other dog.
- Let the dogs determine the pace of the introduction and note that dogs may take some time for them to feel comfortable around one another.
- Monitor the dogs closely in the home and observe how they interact. Reinforce positive behavior by providing high-value treats to the dogs for positive interactions.

The clip has attracted an estimated 2.2 million views and more than 448,900 likes since being shared on TikTok.
Many of those who commented on the video praised the dog and admitted the clip made them feel emotional.
