A father’s decision to carry his dog instead of his son has sparked a viral curiosity. A woman recorded the unusual scene from her car and published the video on her TikTok account.

While driving, Luz Elena captured a video of a man carrying his dog in one arm while holding his son’s hand in the other — sparking an online debate about family priorities.
“When your priority is your dog, not the child.” She wrote.
Despite being originally posted in May 2022, this touching video has recently gained popularity on social media with over 4 million views and 5,000 comments.
The overwhelming majority of users came out in defense of the man’s decision, with one writing, “If his leg’s hurt, the child has good tennis shoes.” It’s clear that this father’s love for his dog and his son are both equally important to him.
