An adorable video of seven-year-old Westie Sami from Portugal, who became a real star thanks to an unusual skill – waving, is spreading on Instagram. Its owner posted a video that quickly gathered more than 25,000 likes and melted the hearts of social network users.
In the video, posted to @westievibes, Sami is seen sitting with his owners’ friends waving at him, then waving back with his little paw. “My dog learned to wave as a greeting and it’s the cutest thing,” the caption reads.
The trick that became a trademark
Owner Miruna Voicu told Newsweek how her West Highland White Terrier, better known as Sami, developed his signature move. “He’s my first dog, my best friend and the star of all our content. In the clip, we were having lunch with friends and he climbed up on a chair by himself. He likes to have his own place at the table. Then our friends waved at him jokingly, and he started raising his paw to return the gesture,” she said.
According to her, Sami does it so naturally that strangers often stop them on the street just to wave back. “It always makes people smile. It started when Sami was a puppy. I taught him basic tricks, and ‘give me your paw’ was the one he mastered the fastest,” she explained. “The funny thing is that he quickly learned that waving, even when I didn’t ask him to do it, gets him extra attention and treats.”
The Internet is delighted
Users of the platform did not hide their delight with the puppy. “I’m waving back!!! So cute,” was one comment. Another user wrote: “It’s not just a wave, it’s a move that steals hearts.” “A cute angel,” added a third commenter.
