What is this trend
Pet parents, who’s getting the head pats? Apparently, your boyfriend wants some attention too…

This trend is kinda funny to recreate. It starts with a simple pet interaction, like you crouch down, call your pet over with “who’s a good boy?”, and wait for them to come running.
Just when it looks like a sweet little pet moment, your partner or friend crawls into frame on all fours and takes the pet’s spot, ready for the head pats instead.
