Pit Mix Moxie Helps Other Pups Learn to Sit at Doggy Day Care, Owner Proudly Shares on Social Media

In a heartwarming display of generosity and kindness, a pit mix named Moxie stole the show at Colby’s Dogcare and Spa in Washington, D.C. The proud owner, Stephanie Santos, shared the heartwarming story on social media, revealing how her 1-year-old pup went above and beyond to help her fellow furry friends.

During an enrichment class where the dogs were learning how to sit, Moxie, already a pro at the command, decided to lend a paw – quite literally. Instead of sitting back and watching, Moxie took it upon herself to assist the other dogs by gently pushing their butts with her paw to help them learn the command. While the moment wasn’t captured on video, Santos couldn’t help but express her pride in Moxie’s selfless actions.

Santos shared the story on TikTok, where it quickly garnered over 408,700 views, 119,300 likes, and 304 comments. Viewers were touched by Moxie’s kindness and teaching skills, with one commenter jokingly suggesting a tuition discount for her new role as a teacher’s assistant.

Moxie’s confident and caring nature has always shone through, as Santos explained that she loves playing with new dogs at the park and helping younger pups come out of their shell. The bond between Moxie and her owner is truly special, with Santos teaching Moxie how to sit, only for Moxie to pass on the knowledge to her peers at the day care.

As viewers eagerly await for the moment to be captured on camera, one thing is for sure – Moxie’s act of kindness and teaching skills have left a lasting impression on all who have heard her story.
