Pit Bull’s Attempt to Avoid Leaving Grandma’s House Is Just Too Cute

Pit Bull’s Attempt to Avoid Leaving Grandma’s House Is Just Too Cute originally appeared on Parade Pets.

Extended family members hold a special place in our fur babies’ hearts. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends are a part of our pooches’ tribe — sometimes they even have favorites.

Zara the Pit Bull is obviously a big fan of her Grandma and apparently puts up a fuss when her visiting time comes to an end.

In the TikTok from @zarathepit, Zara was spending some time at Grandma’s house and pretended not to hear the call that it was time to go home.

“My dog hides every time we have to leave Nana’s house,” the onscreen text revealed as Zara darted throughout the house trying to go unnoticed.

Zara walked down the hall, minding her own business while checking behind her to see if she was being followed. Then the covert canine attempted to hide in the kitchen, finding cover under the kitchen table.

She tried avoiding eye contact but knew she was cornered. The innocent look on the precious Pittie’s face seemed to be saying, “Can’t we stay just a few more minutes?”

Grandparents have a reputation of spoiling their grandkids with special treats, extra snuggles, and basically a “carte blanche” rule in their home. Zara’s refusal to leave hints that she enjoys this type of treatment at Nana’s house.

We can speculate that Zara gets a lot of affection from her Grandma. Just like with humans, dogs release oxytocin — referred to as the “love hormone” — when they interact with humans. Snuggling, petting, and even eye contact with their loved ones sets off this hormone in dogs which strengthens their bond and warm feelings of affection.

Our relationship with our dogs is a two-way street. Humans also release this hormone when they’re with their fur babies and reap the benefits of this loving relationship.

Canines express love in a variety of ways. Greeting you with excitement, snuggling and seeking affection, nuzzling with kisses, eye contact, asking to play, following you around — these are all signs of your fur baby’s love. And it’s the best!

Hopefully Zara got to spend a few extra minutes with her Grandma!
