A heartwarming video of a senior golden retriever named Jake getting his bath has touched millions on TikTok. Shared in November, the video shows Jake, who is 17-and-a-half years old, enjoying a gentle bath while his human’s boyfriend carefully helps him, using a salt beef bucket for rinsing. The caption reads, “Scrub-a-dub-dub, senior in the tub,” highlighting the special care Jake gets at his age.
At 17, Jake can no longer stand in the tub without slipping, so his human ensures he gets a seated bath. As explained by the owner, extra care is taken to ensure Jake stays clean and comfortable despite his age. This routine, while demanding, is worth it to keep Jake healthy and fresh.
As dogs age, their coats may turn gray, and they may experience various signs of aging, like reduced energy and muscle tone. For Jake, these changes are simply part of growing older, but with proper care, he continues to live a fulfilling life. The video, which has garnered over 1.5 million views, has warmed the hearts of viewers everywhere.
