At the same time we become sad by missing those gems

[u/ethanlan → u/koenigsegg_kratos]

Man im having a bad day (bad year really thanks trump) but my dog is curled up on my feet, he not really a cuddler but when im sad hes always close.

I hope I remember all the little things about him because I know one day he will be gone.

Hes the best dog ever I love him so much.

Not their first swing rodeo

[u/Auspicious_BayRum → u/[deleted]]

Part of me still mourns losing this phase of life, but it’s beautiful seeing someone else enjoy it too.

[u/Domestic-Grind → u/Auspicious_BayRum]

Its joyous when you are there, it's almost overpowering to see your children experience those same joys

[u/TunisMagunis → u/[deleted]]

Same here. Playing outside with the dog on a fall day, waiting for halloween. Better times.

[u/UESJR2021 → u/[deleted]]

This is what we mean when we say go play outside!

[u/SmashRadish]

Dog looks stoked to swing.

[u/ToTheTop24 → u/SmashRadish]

That dog knew exactly what to do

[u/MorrowPolo → u/ToTheTop24]

Do the dew

[u/Trashy_Panda2 → u/SmashRadish]

Not their first time. They get real flat to get ready for the ride lol.

[u/NuclearSun1 → u/Trashy_Panda2]

Wish my doggy could figure it out. She still hasn’t learned to ride in a car.

[u/ElvenOmega → u/NuclearSun1]

I had a beagle that never figured it out and was too stubborn to sit or lay down. It was like watching someone try to surfboard for the first time, every time. Equally frustrating and hilarious. I'd sit in the back with him while my husband drove and hold him or catch him when he went flying around like a cartoon.

[u/mmm-toast → u/ElvenOmega]

My coonhound was the same way...and super anxious too. Finally bought something that turns the whole back seat area flat, and tossed some blankets and a dog bed on it.

She loves it now.

[u/All_Work_All_Play → u/NuclearSun1]

My dog gets car sick/motion sickness. First time we bought her home she puked while I was holding her in the rocking chair (and rocking). *sigh*

[u/honeytonedhaze → u/SmashRadish]

haha yeah he looks so pumped for it. does your dog flatten out like that too when it's time to swing?

[u/Ok-Lengthiness-7417 → u/SmashRadish]

He's my brother!😎🐻🐕

[u/Zeellionaire]

Seems like the montage that plays at the beginning of every revenge movie. Next scene; the protagonist wakes up screaming in the middle of the night, looks at the mirror, there’s tattoos on his body for some reason, he is unusually fit for a guy who obviously has let himself go.

[u/TheCreat1ve → u/Zeellionaire]

The bedroom is messy and dimly lit. Only a sliver of light makes its way past the curtains, and reveals a picture frame on the drawer. A nostalgic memory portraying a kid and a dog on a swing, having the best time of their life. A stark contrast to the grim present.

[u/vibesdealer → u/TheCreat1ve]

Edit: I’m here for John Wick 17, lets go!

[u/darky_tinymmanager]

Happiness seems sometimes so simple. I wonder why we often do not see it

[u/FlowSoSlow → u/darky_tinymmanager]

Cuz I'm tired boss...

[u/Electric_Quill → u/darky_tinymmanager]

We are weighed down by too many layers of identity.

[u/spacecaps85 → u/darky_tinymmanager]

Simple things are often the easiest to lose track of.

[u/bunny_the-2d_simp → u/darky_tinymmanager]

I don't have a swing

[u/joedotdog]

I'm not sure the song about offing yourself with CO is the one to choose for this...lmao.

[u/DinReddet → u/joedotdog]

Alarming nor surprising in this day and age.

[u/littleratofhorrors → u/joedotdog]

It is when your target audience is depressed 30-somethings.

[u/Turbulent_Stick1445 → u/joedotdog]

Yeah, kinda screams bot-post to me. No human would have "No surprises" be the soundtrack to a feel-good video.

Edit: Downvote presumably means I triggered the botfarm manager.

BOT BOT BOT asshole!

[u/Comfortable-Grand166]

And cry

[u/whatsthisabout55]

Beautiful

[u/Moresinie]

Perfect life moment

[u/smallcoder]

Making me smile and I'm not even there with the doggy having fun 😍

[u/notAGreatIdeaForName]

My dogs are notoriously dumb when it comes to swings: They try to stay with me, get in my way, and get hit.

[u/Plastic_Sea_micro]

I'm so building one of those.

[u/Kindly-mom2025]

That is really sweet. Thanks for sharing! 💜

[u/Bigforheadgirl]

Moments like this should be captured and shared ....

[u/ridddle → u/Bigforheadgirl]

By strangers recording from their cars parked nearby…

Just kidding, although I hope it was a parent or relative

[u/RayAkayama]

What a beautiful childhood memories

[u/Snoo-66557]

Keep making memories.

[u/Equal_Refrigerator26]

How often do you secretly film children on swings 

[u/Mondak → u/Equal_Refrigerator26]

Seriously! I love this video don't get me wrong, but holy hell would I have NEVER filmed it. I am really hoping it is like dad or mom filming and then sharing because happy times.

[u/IceBandicooot → u/Mondak]

Looks like the kid is smiling to the camera at the start, I’m certain this is the parent filming lol.

[u/Vinnie-baba-ghanoush]

Made me cry is more like it. 🥹

[u/TunisMagunis → u/Vinnie-baba-ghanoush]

Me too. Better times

[u/Karlythecorgi]

:-)

[u/DurantIsStillTheKing]

As an adult, I want that too

[u/whacafan]

Wow. A post that actually made ME smile and not just the poster. Sweet.

[u/SwordfishOk7398]

The bond they have together 💕

[u/Wooden_Smile1566]

What's the song title?

[u/WalkingCloud → u/Wooden_Smile1566]

No Surprises by Radiohead

[u/Wooden_Smile1566 → u/WalkingCloud]

Ohh ok. Thank you

[u/adzm → u/Wooden_Smile1566]

the lyrics are somewhat dissonant from the music

a heart that's full up like a landfill

a job that slowly kills you

bruises that won't heal

you look so tired, unhappy

bring down the government

they don't, they don't speak for us

i'll take a quiet life

a handshake of carbon monoxide

and no alarms and no surprises

silent

this is my final fit

my final bellyache with

no alarms and no surprises, please

such a pretty house

and such a pretty garden

no alarms and no surprises, get me out of here

please

[u/Wooden_Smile1566 → u/adzm]

Wow.. 😳😲

[u/Ill-Painting3284]

Thanks OP, brings me a huge smile!❤️

[u/aseeder]

Beautiful and sad at the same time, for some🥲

[u/ContributionBorn9105]

oh god here come the feelings I didnt want, so much love

[u/jeffriestubesteak]

We have a video of our youngest at 5yo reading "Biscuit" to the family dog, who is gazing up at him adoringly. Every now and then, he pauses to ask, "do you like that, Daisy?" and Daisy does a head tilt or gives a yip.

Daisy crossed the rainbow bridge a long time ago, but I have it on good authority that he watches that video on a regular basis.

[u/Powernick50]

It only goes downhill from there.

[u/Semi-Protractor91 → u/Powernick50]

Always look on the bright side of life, if you can

[u/WalkingCloud]

What an absolutely bizarre choice of song to put over a happy childhood memory lmao

[u/AHornyRubberDucky]

Man I fucking miss my dog

[u/Successful-Snowman]

No alarms and no surprises, please

[u/GladCow3176]

That has to be the best thing I’ve seen all day!

[u/Dr_Dank26]

We never realize when were in the best times of our lives

[u/Euffeez]

A memory core has been made! Inside Out anyone? 😁

[u/howley90]

I was so happy when the dog jumped on, it could have ended and I’d have been happy. But no, it got better

[u/here4budz]

I LOVE when dogs are like “fuck it, I’m down” lol

[u/_Bi-NFJ_]

Really hope the one filming is the parent and not some creep taking videos of kids in public for internet clout...

[u/Appropriate-Emu9563]

that is so cuteee

[u/fooljay]

I bet the boy will look back and smile too.

[u/Negative-Cloud9012]

That’s just a beautiful moment right there.

[u/stephenmakesart]

Thebest times are those spent with our true best friends

[u/sbrown_13]

Well it made me smile 😊

[u/Nice-Willingness-869]

I still remember playing with my puppy and taking photos of him on the big trampoline. Still beautiful photographs 20 years later.

[u/annemarie6229]

Made my heart smile

[u/DrexlAU]

Nice timing on the audio

[u/amirabutwo]

I can show you the world…

[u/TechnicalBumblebee81]

Or completely forget, and there is no in between

[u/J1mj0hns0n]

May time slow down for you when you too experience these moments. They're all too fleeting

[u/cozyswisher]

Looks like they might feel so tired happy

[u/carlisle-86]

The simple things in life

[u/romi248]

Only reason why I am paying my internet bills

[u/atlasdreams2187]

What a song!🎵

[u/YodaBamboda]

I have fond memories around the same age with my yellow lab Brandy jumping into my sled as I flew down my back yard 🤗 She was such a great companion.

[u/Secure_Anteater_3419]

That’s awesome.

[u/MumboTheOld]

That’s the meaning of life.

[u/No_Needleworker215]

Kicking the feet too 😭

[u/liarandathief]

And the kid probably will too.

[u/Commonsensestranger]

That boy seems like he’s going to be a good man.

[u/cjmarquez]

This is wholesome

[u/Double-Drop]

And life that sets all things in rhyme, may make you poet to in time. But there were days old tender elf, when you were poetry itself.

[u/RenatoAmorim2]

Pela intimidade o caso é antigo. 😂😂😂

[u/MaryK007]

I want a swing like that!

[u/IngeborgNCC1701]

There is nothing better for children to grow up with animals.

[u/kingsmen13]

Cute momment but that Radiohead song isn't the happiest thing

[u/im_a_stapler]

This is the moment that sticks with the parent, but the kid was just bored and having fun no biggie lol

[u/jezevicek]

Heaven on Earth. ❤️

[u/MediocreVariation882]

Always good to see beautiful things like this

[u/No-one_here_cares]

I wonder what other places this car will turn up at to watch people.

[u/kartikzzz]

john wick before some shmuck wanted his car

[u/RabbitCity6090]

Anything for our best friend.

[u/Academic_Dig_1567]

Nothing gets between a kid and their dog.

[u/meaniemeanie-poo-poo]

I love how the dog is still like, who are you and why are you watching us? 

[u/Tro11man]

A boy and his dog

[u/Korrin_Ray]

Best friends for life ♥️

[u/Mid-Pri6170]

[u/haz3lDr1p]

[u/Grand_Illustrator179]

Thanks I needit that

[u/Brilliant_Young_8854]

The kid will too!

[u/dianap826]

Wait. A child. Playing. Outdoors? I thought this breed was extinct. Bravo to these parents 👏👏👏

[u/2xdareya]

The definition of wholesome.

[u/RetroDadOnReddit]

This right here is what life is all about. Or should be.

May we all find our own version of this.

[u/YarrowLuna]

I love this. Thank you for sharing!

[u/lurpcardiff]

Man I miss my dog

[u/thelostdutchman68]

Pure joy! Makes my dark heart smile. :)

[u/No-Remove7270]

Doesn't get better than that.

[u/I_poop_deathstars]

I had a couple of dogs growing up.

One went on the slide with me and my sibling, another loved to help carry sticks and junk when we built a fortress in the woods, another pulled our sleds in the winter. I miss them so much, those were the best years of my life, nothing will beat it.

Now I am sad.

Have a nice day.

[u/themanfromvulcan]

Man I miss being a kid. School I don’t miss but being a kid was fun.

[u/Educational_Skill343]

Best pals ❤️

[u/NerdGirlJess]

I love this! Also he definitely missed an opportunity to give his dog an underdog! Who remembers swingset underdogs??

[u/Nixya05]

I loved this video

[u/StruggleInner6685]

A boy and his dog

[u/Sad-Sundae-May]

i watched this so many times and i still smile

[u/avd002]

Core memory for life

[u/judaspriest_fan]

I managed to get moved

[u/acn0010]

The price of a good dog is a broken heart. This kind of memory will be priceless one day.

[u/Heyhappyday]

My view of my youth changes so much as I get older. I look back on my younger years and it's like observing someone else's child. It's like watching an old home movie, hard to remember what it felt like to be there, but I can remember what so much of it looked like, but not from the first person point of view. From a distance. And I know it's hardly real, it's just my mind's interpretation now. Memory being more fantasy than reality. And my god we age so quickly!

[u/Forsaken-Bed-5333]

Thank you for this! What a sweet boy and his faithful best friend!

[u/Glamgirl5]

Too cute 🤩

[u/Unlucky_Air6124]

And then he starts to cry a little because that dawg will be so dead by then.

[u/notha_leon]

Those are best buddies.

[u/False_Tea_3951]

God damn I miss being a little kid.

[u/b3tamaxx]

Someone's grandparents somewhere are happy right now. Kids outside playing

[u/UnlikelySchool2743]

It made my day. .

[u/yourmothersgun]

I want to go to there.

[u/beccadot]

Everything’s better with your dog.

[u/ProcedurePretend1396]

The way the dog looks back at you

[u/Feeling_Frosting_738]

Oh to be young.

[u/Kylearean]

man films creepily from the car...

[u/Jezeus_2025]

Labs are so fun

[u/Foxy_Shazaaam]

Everyone wins!

[u/Bentleyjumper]

I made a swing for my kids when they were little. Just a rope running through a hole in a board. My dog decided to get in on the action and would grab the rope and run until she could swing around in circles. I wish I had camera back then .

[u/These-Prune-1529]

Man, I miss being this kid because adulthood in this timeline sucks. This made me remember all the crazy stuff my childhood dog and I did. 😊

[u/Devu_2004]

the song bro, took me out

[u/Existing-Tackle-9322]

Hell yeah

[u/BlurryFalcon319]

Omg I hope the dog is okay!! 🥺 but this is seriously the cutest thing ever lol.

[u/Nearby_Delivery_6270]

Gotta love the soundtrack of suicide added

[u/MoonMe3x]

This is lovely. Part of me healed. Tysm for this... This brought way more than a smile in the best way possible 🥹💝

[u/Soggy_Plant_3941]

I thought he was going to launch 🚀 the dog but he then he got on and I was like phew 😮‍💨 😮

[u/itz_vilen09]

JFC I miss my dog so much. RIP Tuppy

[u/spike1911]

Simply Lovely

[u/OriginalOpposite8995]

Are we talking about the boy or the dog?

[u/shrodikan]

This really holds the feeling of childhood well.

I hate that I was so incredulous that it might have been AI. I don't think it is but I can't be sure. I hate 2026.

[u/whollynondescript]

This is literally what dreams look like.
