Dog Is Confused As To Why This Small Human Does Not Throw The Ball To Her

This adorable puppy named Luna was filled with pleasure and anticipation in the months leading up to the arrival of her newborn sister, Martina. She appeared to be fully aware that she was going to have a new best buddy and playmate.

Luna insisted on staying at mom Mara Fernanda Osterling’s side throughout the pregnancy.

“I was wondering if it would continue when Martina was born,” Osterling told The Dodo. “I was also pleasantly pleased.”

As soon as Martina was born, Luna embraced her even more wholeheartedly than Osterling had hoped.

“She treats her like her sister,” Osterling said. “She protects her, takes care of her and lies by her side when Marti sleeps.”

But what Luna doesn’t seem to quite understand yet is that Martina has some growing up to do before the fun between them can really begin.

Osterling watched Luna enter the room the other day with her beloved blue ball in her jaws, the pup’s go-to signal to her parents that she wants to play fetch.

Rather than handing it to an adult in the room, Luna gave it to Martina, who was obviously ignorant that tossing a ball is a little above the newborn’s capacity.

Here’s a video of that moment:

Luna may have been confused that Martina didn’t pick up on the hint, but she appeared content to engage that new small person in on the fun regardless.

“I was affected because it showed me that Luna loves Martina, even though Martina can’t show her the same,” Osterling added. “I know Luna adores her and longs to be with her and play.”

Fortunately, Martina will soon be able to fully join in playtime. For Luna, the wait was well worth it.

Seeing just how bonded Luna is to Martina already offers a happy glimpse into the lifetime of love and fun that awaits them.

“I’m sure that when Martina grows up, they will be great friends and sisters,” Osterling said. “The capacity that a little animal has to give us love is infinite. And Luna knows how to express it very well.”
