When Watson’s family grew by two, his gift of comfort helped his new siblings settle into their new forever home. Even a nervous dog and a tabby cat couldn’t resist Watson’s hug power!

Watson’s New Fur Brothers

When Watson was a year-and-half-old, he and his mom, Jennifer, decided it was time to adopt another dog into the family. When they met Kiko, Watson and Jennifer knew the 4-year-old Golden Retriever was the one!

Kiko was a nervous dog though, anxiety ruling his thoughts and making it hard to settle in at his new home. But Watson’s calming nature provided Kiko with some of the best therapy ever.

Jennifer told the Dodo, “It’s like Watson knew that Kiko needed support, so he started to always lay by him and help him get more of his confidence back.”

Along Comes Kitty

But the family was not yet complete. Harry was the next furry boy to join the pack and when he was first adopted into the fam, he wasn’t sold on the idea of hugging up on Watson and Kiko. Why? Because, unlike his new canine brothers, Harry was a cat!

The grey tabby cat couldn’t resist Watson’s hug charms though. Jennifer explained, “Watson is the king of snuggles. His temperament is so calm he got Harry to love it too.”
