Some dogs mean everything to their families. They are not just pets but full-fledged family members. This sometimes leads people to come up with very special things for their four-legged companions.
This is the case here.
A dog dad builds a truly fantastic and fun gift for his favorite: a dog elevator. The reason why he constructs this himself restores faith in the goodness of humanity.
An incredibly old dog
The dog in this video is old, to say the least, 17 years old.
Using the common formula of seven dog years for one human year, this equates to an astonishing 119 years.
The fact that she can still walk at this age is a small miracle.
However, she can no longer come down the stairs to the garden. Her dad cleverly solves the problem.
The elevator
In the human family of the elderly furball, it seems that dad is responsible for clever ideas.
He finds an obvious and brilliant solution. Instead of carrying the dog, he builds an elevator that goes down to the garden alongside the stairs.
Why shouldn’t it work for the dog, when it works just fine for humans?
The do-it-yourself dad
The elevator is not a simple platform lift but a real elevator with a cabin.
It goes up and down in its own structure.
The dad even carpets the cabin floor, following the motto: If there’s an elevator, it should be a luxury one.
The video clearly shows that the elevator works perfectly. The do-it-yourself dad evidently has the necessary craftsmanship skills.
Congratulations on this well-thought-out and well-executed problem-solving for the benefit of the dog.
No wonder she could reach such an old age
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that this dog has reached such an old age.
Genetic factors certainly play a role, but they are not the only factor.
This is the belief of Jayne Finley, for example. In the video’s comments, the user writes:
“She is 17 years old because she was unconditionally loved and well cared for. A beautiful story.”
Izzy Tylor also believes that the dog’s advanced age is due to her wonderful family:
“17?! Wow, that’s incredible, especially for a purebred dog. They’ve obviously taken really good care of her.”
This speculation can only be agreed with, and the construction of the elevator is the perfect example.
Watch the dog, the elevator, and her wonderful dad in the video now!
