Human: I'm a dog person Dog: I'm more of a cat person myself
LOL 😆
🤣
👍
👌
How about, "i'm more of a cat dog myself" ?
Samson the dog: "I have a playmate." Cleo the cat: "I have an Uber."
It's weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my videos. Sometimes it is annoying. But right now it would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear malik
@@AxxLAfriku NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@AxxLAfriku you're doing great, sweetie.
@Gainstrup all terrain vehicle, 4 wheel drive
Somehow i dont get this same reaction when i sit on my dog ☹
He's not awkward, he's just introvert 😁
Us introverts, definitely know how it feels 😁
I agree! I can identify with Samson. Some of us choose our bonds carefully ❤
I love when owners get their pets a pet.
Human owns the dog. Dog owns the cat. Cat owns the human.
when you're socially awkward and prefer the company of introverts
Haha I love that cat video.. It's so adorable and so spot on 😂
Me to a T
yup. Samson is pretty much my spirit animal.
Yes!!
My life lol
He protecc. He attacc. But most importantly, He got Cleo on his bacc.
Oh just 💕 Love this souch, best buddies forever ♾️💓🥰
Lmao
Oh YES
Aww
❤
I always feel bad for service dogs 😔 glad he can have a moment of peaceful happiness with kitty 😊
This is heart warming… these two have souls that are connected❤
HUGE FACT 😍
Yeeeesss! Soulmates!
This demonstrated that social awkwardness isn’t just a human thing and should be considered seriously
yeah... +1 since I am another Samson
Agree!
It's a human thing as dogs don't think like humans. All what samsons problems are from his lack of socialisation as a pup.
@@jimipurple123 And a lot of social anxiety stems from the same thing in humans, so.
@@yikes5046 humans live in the past, dogs don't
The way Samson looked so awkward staring at other dogs playing gives me flashback of middle school. I feel you Samson...
What if he’s much intelligent than an average dog so when he sees them he be like: *”what a bunch of idiots they never mature”*
@@grimsobad8545 Why do you think introverts are the way they are?
@@grimsobad8545 honestly that's what I think too but maybe because i'm a big introvert
I feel that too m8.
@Nuceo same dude
I just realised I'm Samson lmao 😂 - just doesn't know how to play with them -takes it too little seriously sometimes, even we has time to play -socialize with chosen beings the way he looks at other dogs is so relatable ahaha he is a grown up dog with responsibilities and has no time to goof around. he just feels mature and ready to take responsibility of another being he feels close to.
I immediately related to this dog. Me in a nutshell
Hmm it's called introversion.
He’s not awkward, he’s just more mature than the other dogs !
Disney employees: "Write that down, write that down!"
omg- ya
He should just be allowed his life how he wants it to be. People shouldn't be channeled for practical human use.
@@valerieobrien5521 what are you talking about sis?
@@valerieobrien5521 i understand what you mean, you don't want those two bestie get taken by some circus or human that make those two an attraction right?
Ur right, i think that would do a great movie
It's tough enough being a socially awkward human, can't imagine being socially awkward in a species that's 99% high energy extroverts 😂 good call to get a cat, parents!
Right on
Huh. Never thought of dogs in terms of extroverts.
@Elisabetta meh, would it be better to just leave this kitten?
@Elisabetta she does not claim she rescued the cat from a shelter once, and honestly there are a lot of purebreds in shelters. The video aint even about her rescuing the cat, it is about the dog that was depressed until they got the cat so i do not see how she portaits herself as some sort of savior. They are not „using“ their animals for selfish reasons, you have a service dog if you have spontaneous seizures or other medical issues. Working together with animals is how we domesticated them in the first place and quite frankly they are built to be companions for thousands of years, thats coexistence not slavery.
@Elisabetta Sorry, I don't understand.......what does "protray" mean ?
A truly observant, devoted pet owner… as awesome as Samson. Cleo clinging onto his harness for rides on-trail?! Had to see it to believe it. Kudos to Dodo & those who produced this vid. Well-done!🐾💕👍
THIS LEVEL OF CUTENESS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE 😭😭😭😭
Samson looking at dogs roughing each other up: 'Barbarians!' Samson sees a cat: 'Sophisticated just like me. This is my kind, get me one!'
lol
Thats exactly what happened. Good for Samson..smart introverts deserve to be happy too.
😂 cute!
Lies again? Excellent Service Bro Sis
Right On! 😂
If Samson was my dog I'd make him a t-shirt that says "Introverted but willing to play with cats." Lol
Yes
hilarious!
🤣🤣🤣
stinky introvertededness
lmao
2:50. What an absolutely gorgeous shot that is.
I am 82 and have never seen any friendships this precious
When an awkward shy introvert meets a happy extrovert
Sometimes it clicks
Me and my bestfriend in a nutshell.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Myself and my Husband...💯% I may be loud but I'm the introvert 🙃
I think you mean “When an extrovert adopts an introvert”
Dog doesn't want to play with other dogs. He wants a kitten and that is absolutely adorable.
i feel like smarter dogs often don't like playing in that typical crazy dog way
@@thejwvariety this makes no sense. "smarter dogs" some dogs just don't know how to play or were trained to where they don't know what play is. every dog likes to play it just depends on their upbringing not their level of intelligence
@@alyssaTT456 Well, in this case your wrong...

“The World is so wonderful and beautiful” - that’s what I feel when I watch Dodo videos. Keeps my faith in unconditional love and humanity ❤❤
AMEN
So so happy that Samson found someone to be himself with. Thank you for getting Cleo. Good looking out.
A Dog that is a Cat person lol
I was thinking the same thing not everyone is a dog person just like us humans we don't like other humans lol
Thats deep, just like us, humans.
My dog is a cat person. After living with my aunt and him interacting with my cousin's dogs, he was basically sick of them, but prefered my cat when i found him as a kitten. My dog raised that kitten.
He probably was a cat in a past life. Service cats exist too.
Best comment 💕
Ah yes. That one breed of cat that looks like it is having an eternal existential crisis.
😆
You described it perfectly
They are very popular in Japan.
I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣
I think the breed is called a "Scottish Fold" (because their ears are always folded down), but that is a perfect description.
This is such a beautiful friendship. He really did come out of his shell once he felt comfortable.
This level of cuteness~ Purity I just Can't! 😹 I'm a mess!
a Dog: *wanna Play?* Samson: *No you Ugly creature* A cat: *Hi?* Samson: *CONGRATS YOUR MY FIRST FRIEND*
🤣🤣
xD
underated
😂😂😂
After Samson came out of the closet as a kitten, he was able to enjoy life a lot better.
lol, thats just a brilliant comment man, probably hit the nail on the head!
How did the kitten help improve Samsons condition?
Sampson definitely identifies himself as a cat
Haha I Understand why you are Master Yoda
Honestly 😹 I said the same thing samson was a cat in another life
Samson is absolutely gorgeous, his love for his lil kitten sister is such a joy and blessing. May they both live long and happy lives together🙏🏽💜
Somebody call somebody. Can't handle this cuteness overload
Hello dear, I hope you are doing well over there now if I may ask..?
Samson: l am not a pet. I have a job. Cleo: Can l be your pet? Samson: Yeah. That works for me. Cleo: Me too.
🤣🤣🤣
Respect the samson and cleo 😳✋
Like many, Samson takes the job home with him.
Human:has pet dog dog:has pet cat cat:bruh-
@@Realivess that dog was not a pet. he was a servant.
Samson looked at the camera like he was in the office omg
Lol I agree
Ok but which character did he look most like? Jim? I was thinking Kevin, but that expression of awkwardness is definitely a Jim trademark.
He’s a pro at “Jim-ing” the camera 😂
@@smilieface2718 xD lol true
🤣
Their matching scarfs! Bless your family.
The dog clearly had a standard for new edition to the family and playmate, thus the cat is his pet!!

AWW!!! Sampson deserves a nice companion ❤

@@AnnaPxx "I should be working, what is this mess?"
@@RogerJayYang "Reprobates!" 😂😂😂

So accurate 🤣🤣
"So, are you a dog or cat person?" Samson "Definitely a cat person" :D
dogs have a Master this is true ... but ... Cats have staff ...
You copied Earth smell
What a beautiful pair . Your cat has the most beautiful eyes.
They’re adorable together. Kitty is so cute. Love her ears.
I wounder if the people who fostered him for his training had cats and that's why he has such a strong connection to them. He might have missed them
That's what I thought, he'd had cats in his life before.
That’s what I thought to. He missed his cat buddy from his previous home
That is half of the situation. The other half is the dog’s lack of interest, to put it somehow, in interacting with the other dogs.
The dog is a cat in his past life.
They trained him as a service dog themselves.
I love how samson looks at the other dogs like " foolish animals" then looks at cleo and just "guess im a dad now" LMAO
brother
That's precious. Samson found a friend in a kitty cat . ❤😊
This Dog is so responsible.
This is more “Soulmates” than “Odd Couples”! Who doesn’t love a good dog-cat relationship?!?
Lol Dog-Cat relationship is odd I love dogs and cats
Its a "love" story....{wiping away tears}
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 I do not disagree. It is kinda odd. But - in this case - it seems to me that it’s more of a love-at-the-first-sight, eternal-companionship, perfect-match type a thing!
@@robertcuratolo5339 YES!!
I have a dog, a cat, an eagle and a roster. They didn't get a long when they met each other for the first time. As time went on, they love each other It's like mixed up ; British, German, French, Spanish
samson isn't awkward or weird or anti-social or too serious. he's just very very picky :)
😅
Yeah right? Dog have preferences too! Nothing wrong with that :)
Hello
That statement also describes me 😁
Thats exactly it!!
the love the way samson looks at the other dogs like they are dumb LMAO
Adorable story..and can we mention how drop dead gorgeous Cleo is??? Of course Samson is too, but Cleo is a WOW
Samson is a caretaker dog. He needs to take care of someone at all times. That's why he is not interested in playing with other silly dogs.
Figure you got that right. He looks like a Great Pyrenees, that’s what they do.
He all about business, he doesn't have time for buffoonery 😏
Plus they smell.
I was thinking that... he was meant to be a service dog .... he’s the kind that probably wouldn’t even know to be rude or unruly and is perfect for those who need to be delicate
Silly dogs? Wht?
Samson when he saw Cleo at the first time: "I must protect this child."
The Mandalorian. That is the way.
Overload of cuteness 😍!
I’m 48, have 2 kid, 2 shepkys, see millions of YT videos…But this video touched my soul ❤ It will stay with me, thank you for sharing it
It was heartbreaking to see that dog be so serious all the time and never 'relax', especially when it was playtime. That kitten was an angel sent from heaven for him.
It’s the sad reality of service dogs, they have to take their job seriously 24/7, because their humans are always depending them to to their job.
@@ritvikmishra8388 They really are four-legged angels on Earth, aren't they?
@@meganfedor indeed they are
Samson is too gentle and sensitive to rough house with other dogs, Cleo was just perfect for him!
0:17-19 was a little funny tho. His face and the little brown frenchie just rolling around made me laugh.
I love how she says stuff like "he's really proud to have his big sister on his back and the dog is just like: "am dog"
Wazt ze fook alemeo
yeah that's why he's a service dog that is capable of completing complex duties because he's "am dog"
Lol im not sure dogs can feel 'proud'. Its a very complex emotion.
@@tc98826 I'm just saying that the dog is more than "am dog". I didn't say anything about whether or not they could be proud.
@@johnnygoodfornothing4434 Complex duties is different to complex emotions.
Oh.. I loved this story. It shows that it's possible to come out of the shell a little bit more if you connect with the right soul. 🥲🙏😊💗🐾🐾 Samson and Cleo are so cute! 😅
The owner is observant and this helps the dog
He's a introvert me and him would get along just fine
Your an introvert and yet your readytogo
@@noclu4u384 yeah hes ready to go there's to many people around
اه ٩
my cat is named samson and is really anti-social with other cats, time to get him a dog I guess?
Lol
You’ll have to name the dog Cleo
@@tracygardner6318 Yess
I think it will work 👍
My cat prefers dogs.. pit bulls and boxers actually.. but sadly can’t have a dog right now :/. He really hates the stray cat that decided to move in recently but I think there’s hope :)
This is one of the most ADORABLE! Animal Stories I have ever watched, thanks so much for sharing.
Everyone needs a true friend.....lots of love from us. God bless you all
Dude i was having a terrible week because my dog passed away, but this release gave me a nice relief, I'm truly thankful
Sorry for Your Loss. Our Pets are Family Too! 🐶🐾💖

Im so sorry ;(
I'm so Truly Sorry for your Loss...😔😔😔🐶🐶🐶🙏🙏🙏❤
I’m sorry for your loss ❤️ all the best x
Samson's an introverted dog. Getting him a cat friend was the right thing to do.
He looks like a LGD [livestock guardian] dog or cross. They are usually reserved and watch in a situation like a dog park. They bond very strongly with what ever they look after. In this case a kitten. They are used to mind free range chickens, and other stock. Even a Penguin colony. They are ancient breeds. Some in the group are Pyrenean [France], Maremma [Italian], Anatolian etc. They are ancient breeds developed along the Silk road to guard stock against predators such as wolves and bears.
@Gorgeous George - love shepherds and was advised to never think of a Malinois when we get a dog. They are beautiful, but yes, their prey drive ill kick in. Happened to a woman I know - cat walked past dog and SNAP!.
@Gorgeous George - my spouse has been with his company for 36 years - started ground up. He's taking retirement and we're planning on rescuing a dog. My sister rescued a King Shepherd - _big_ with longer hair, and they get along great with their cats, and cats in general. They're high energy and love to be out, and so do I. Purr-fect match. So when the time comes, I'm going with Sis to get _my_ Shepherd
This channel feels like therapy sometimes respect❤
I've seen this story its so sweet he finally made a friend
This is the cutest thing ever. He can’t stop giving her kisses.
Wait till you smell them
@@youreverydaylemonfriend560 we dont talk about that here😂
@@rblx_ian9055 ok😂
It's not kiss, he is cleaning the cats skin
Sampson and Cleo. What a perfect pair. As their owner stated, "Cleo has allowed Sampson to come out of his shell and to explore the world more."
Some co dependency is wonderful to see. They are charming together. Awesome names too 🤗 ♡ God bless Samso n Cleo. *good thing - NO Jezebel 🤭
@@lovealways2609 Samson and Cleo are friends, not codependent. Codependency is *_excessive_* emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction.
*Dog pre-school* “okay class recess time!” *Samson sitting in a corner watching the other dogs*
Happy Valentines day Cleo and Samson❤️❤️
Something tells me that Samson had a cat companion in his early life. His happy reaction to the new kitten is telling.
My dog Maxx is like that. But really HATES other dogs. We figure he was raised with a cat/s and got traumatized by other dogs as a puppy. Sadly our cats never really want much to do with him lol but tolerate him. He's so excited on walks when a cat just sits/lays there and lets him come up and say hi.
He was trained to ignore other dogs, but not cats.
The cat in the window: *Ill start This Dog's whole career*
And became her Uber
Yeah
He loves his sister and will protect her with his life.....so cute!!!
My god that’s adorable to see her riding his back like that 😆
That cat riding that dog is like a man riding a dragon lol. “I have tamed the retched beast, fear me mortals!”
🤣🤣🤣👍
"How to Train your Dogone."
i can definitly imagine a cat saying that
😍A 39 degree temperature can't melt my heart, but Samson and Cleo have already done so.
Cleo has a beautiful face. The name fits Samson. I can see the joy in Samson with the open mouth and tongue hanging out. He loves caring for his sister cat. Beautiful.
Samson is an introverted dog. He knows what he likes and wants.
He is just a dog.
Being awkward is not a sign of introversion. Stop misusing the word “introvert.”
Because he’s so gentle & caring. He wanted someone to be gentle with bless him.
I never would of thought of that until I read your comment..I Knew that their bond was special..Your comment took it to a whole different level of clarity...These two totally different animals that look totally diffrent from one another have a spiritual connection...This video and your comment really made my day..thank you
This specific cat is a Scottish Fold. It will suffer worse and worse pain from arthritis due to its genetic defect its breeders forced upon it.

hi there do you know that jesus himself said that follow the upcoming comforter after him thats why prophet MOHAMED has been prophesied in bible in so many verses by title of upcoming another comforter and prince of world , hence its rather compulsory for you to accept islam now , if you have any questions you can ask me here or email me and i will send you all those prophecies
@@VOLTRON999 this is a video about cats and dogs..
@@reallyspecific1236 what you gonna answer on the day of judgement that you watched cats and dogs videos or the real god will ask you that did you acted on my commandments which is sent through my prophets and if you never recognizes the last prophet mohamed then surely you would be put into hell forever , so better would be that you give attention to what jesus prophesied in bible about final comforter and final prince of this world that is the most important bcoz that final comforter and prince that jesus prophesied about is prophet mohamed and to accept prophet mohamed you first need to enter into islam hence accept islam now

This is how my dog is, he is scared of other dogs and doesn’t know not to play with them. We have a cat that walked through our doggy door one day and they became best friends. They share a bed and play all the time now. It’s really cute seeing their friendship grow and see how my dog learns to become more playful
You have a cat the just moved in too? That has happened to me twice! I thought it was just a me thing.
Thats a good guard dog bro, as soon as they in the house they already joined the family, thus, family is protected from outsiders.
@@wifeoftheparty7107 cats are an interesting bunch.
@@wifeoftheparty7107 u don't choose cat. cat choose u. 😾
I love this so much, especially how they walked in thru the doggy door into their new home and family! and that u accepted this decision 😹
Oh boy, those matching bandanas!!
Service dogs and Search-and-Rescue dogs are trained not to be playful while on the job. To that end, you may sometimes see a service dog wearing a harness that says "Do Not Pet." I've helped train SAR dogs by "getting lost." If they're given something I've worn, they can sniff out my trail and find me miles away in the woods or mountains. They seem to understand that they have an important job. That's really sweet that Samson can play with Cleo. It makes sense. Playing with a kitten doesn't interfere with one's job. And giving Cleo a ride is both worlds in one! :-)
That's simply not true. I'd almost say it's the opposite but not all dogs are the same. Service dogs and other working dogs are dogs clearly need a separation from work and fun time. A service dog getting playful while crossing a busy road is a hazard for the handler and itself. A service dog who can't stop working (especially difficult for seizure alert dogs who have to work during night time) can suffer from exhaustion and burnout. Some people with diabetes give their dog to their family for a weekend every few weeks, so the dog can fully relax. The "Do not Pet" sign doesn't mean that the service dog doesn't play, it just means that it's really hard for service dogs - who have to be very sociable towards anything and anyone they encounter - to stay in service mode when random people can't keep their hands on themselves. When my service dog is on free time, he's super playful and rather wild (which is really fun to watch when we meet with the service dog school and all their other dogs). Being well behaved in every supermarket and public transport means a lot of obedience and staying alert. It's important to have time where his mind can wander and he can be a pet. A lot of working dogs are especially playful because their reward for doing their job is playtime.
@Loulou Bos actually although it’s not required yes they do. I have an SD & he has several that he wears.
@Loulou Bos well For someone who has had 5 service dogs, it’s surprising that you think this to be true.. Because it is not. You may think that because you don’t have your dog wear them for whatever reason , but most , in fact, do! Now Emotional support animals may not..(as they shouldn’t I don’t believe.. not certain about that though..).
@Loulou Bos ?? No... why would I think that ? They need to be registered just like any other dog does but not some kind of special registration for service dogs , no.
@Loulou Bos I’m confused now because is that NOT the very thing being argued?? About wearing harnesses? My understanding was that emotional support animals do not and should not wear them but that mobility and other service dogs typically do?
Samson sounds like he has a Type-A personality - very serious and focused on work / achievement. Probably ideally suited to being a service dog. But just as stressed out as similar humans. I'm glad Cleo has enabled him to enjoy life and be happy.
When I see them , I see the world as I wish that it were .
I'm happy for Samson and Cleo ❤
Dog looking at other dogs : so uncultured After cat : that's life.
That's how it is for kids who's parents make their whole lives about grades, but I'm really happy he found some furry friends to make him feel like normal happy doggo.
My friend’s dad lectures her for an hour if she doesn’t get perfect As
@Jolyne Cujoh There's too much pressure put on kids to be absolutely perfect no matter what. It makes me glad everyone I knew never believed in me because I never had to deal with high expectations.
@@Tree_Lord and a lot on service dogs!!
You have no idea... it really is the absolute dearth of the parent’s own self-esteem...and often the need to control or to rage takes a “socially accepted” form... good grades.
@@Tree_Lord I believe in you.
This is a beautiful story how sweet is that the bond that they have. I am soooo happy to know that there are people out there who cares about this beautiful souls. They deserve everything. God bless all who rescued all the amazing animals 🙏 ❤❤❤

The support dog needed a support cat. Goes to show we all need something just got to keep going until we find it!
That is why change comes to our lives I believe, For instance, when someone loses a job, or something happens to make you move on. I truly believe we are placed where we need to be at different times of our life. It's not always easy, but if He ask you to go, you may hesitate to do it, so, things just happen. Your influence, just like this cat, can be of great value to someone, somewhere other then where you are now. You just never know who or what you may be helping or doing for someone else, even saving a life.
