Dogs are man’s best friend, but how far does that friendship go? Recently, a father’s choice of carrying his dog while his young child walked beside him made a viral video.

This was recorded by a woman from her car, which she then published on her TikTok. While driving, the woman- Luz Elena- captured the video of a man that was carrying his pitbull in one arm, while holding on to his son’s hand in the other. The woman put up a caption with the video, stating, “When your priority is your dog, not the child.” Putting dog over son, where did TikTok stand on this?

This video gained massive popularity on social media with over 4 million views, and 5,000 comments. A large part of the comments supported the man’s decision, with one individual writing, “If his legs hurt, the child has good tennis shoes.” But then, it is pretty transparent that the love the father has for his son and his dog is pretty equal and important. At the end of the day, men love their pets. There is absolutely no question about that.
