Heart-wrenching video of dejected Rottweiler cuddling his owner goes viral

A pet owner has shared a heart-wrenching video of her Rottweiler seeking comfort in her arms because no one wanted to pet him at the park that day. 

The TikTok user, who is known as @nala_the_needy_rottie, has more than 1.3 million followers thanks to her adorable clips of her playful and affectionate Rottweilers Nala and Axel. 

The dog lover tugged on her fans’ heartstrings this weekend when she posted footage of two-year-old Axel looking dejected as he cuddled close to her on the couch.

She explained in the on-screen text that he was seeking comfort because no one wanted to pet him at the park that day, and he didn’t understand why

‘He went to the park today and nobody wanted to stroke him,’ she explained in the on-screen text. ‘He doesn’t understand why people ignore him.’

‘THEIR LOSS,’ she added in the caption. 

Axel has his paw resting on his owner’s chest as he nuzzles his snout into her neck in the video, which has been viewed more than 7.2 million times. 

Rottweilers are natural guard dogs and can be very aggressive toward strangers, according to the National Kennel Club, but they make loving pets if they are properly handled and trained.

The @nala_the_needy_rottie account goes above and beyond to show just how affectionate and loyal the breed can be. 

Thousands of people have commented on the recent video, including a number of Rottweiler fans who insisted they would show Axel some love if they ran into him. 

‘Literally want to come through the phone and give him a cuddle,’ one fan wrote.

‘I swear, if I saw you in public, I would cry. I love Rotties so much,’ someone else gushed. ‘They’re the biggest sweethearts ever.’

Another noted that Axel ‘seems so genuinely upset.’ 

Others were just happy that the Rottweiler has his loving owner. 

‘He’s got his mamma, that’s all he needs,’ one viewer insisted. 

‘It’s because he’s big and beautiful,’ another added. ‘He has his momma to love him… my four babies don’t understand either, but I love them for the whole world.’ 

Someone else shared: ‘He’s got you.’
