At the sight of puppies, many people become soft. But at the latest with this little furry nose, hearts melt in rows: He just can't get enough of his human mom's bussis.
Courtney Bollwinkel is a dog breeder in Utah, USA and runs her own Instagram account with @suncrestdoodles. There she gives followers insights into her everyday life, which is characterized by dealing with puppies and for this reason the community is particularly enthusiastic. Since 2013 she has been raising the puppies in her home. Sometimes it is particularly difficult to say goodbye to the furry little ones, as she reveals on Instagram. There she posted the video of a little puppy she is bathing and who can't get enough of Courtney's attention:
"This sweet moment with Rocky deserves a permanent place in my feed. I put my heart into every baby that passes through my hands and those of their families. Sometimes it's hard to let them go."
Courtney lovingly holds the little puppy named Rocky in both hands after the cute furry friend was apparently allowed to enjoy a warm bath. The devoted dog breeder gives her protégé a big smack on his muzzle. The mini four-legged friend keeps his eyes closed out of sheer enjoyment and love - but that's not all: After a first kiss, Rocky is not yet satisfied, but demands more. Goal-oriented, he turns to Courtney again and waits for more dog kisses. So she presses another kiss on him – and lo and behold: Rocky stretches his head up in the air with his eyes still closed.

Even when drying off afterwards, the little puppy indulges in his love frenzy and enjoys the caresses of his human mother. Instagram users are enchanted and have liked the cute video over 300,000 times so far:
- "I'm crying, to be honest. I don't know if I could let her go!"
- "How he leans towards her for more kisses. My heart melted."
- "I think the little one was just about to fall asleep."
- "Oh, how that touched my heart. Thanks for sharing."
- "Aw, he loves bathing."
- "That's too much! He just wants so many kisses!!!!"
Little Bernedoodle Rocky, a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle, was born on March 14, 2023, together with six brothers and two sisters. According to Courtney, the little puppy is one of the "most laid-back little kids I've ever had the pleasure of raising." As an adult dog, Rocky will weigh just over 20 kilograms and become a big bundle of joy: "If they're anything like their great mom, they'll be huge stuffed animals and excellent family dogs."

As difficult as the farewell to puppy Rocky may have been for Courtney - the loving breeder does not have to be reproached for the fact that the little one would have received too few cuddles.
