Axel enjoys making new friends. On his daily walks to the park, the 2-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler seeks to make friends with everyone he meets. Sometimes the kind-hearted dog leaves without a single companion.
Axel’s mom Rianna said, “This sort of thing happens nearly every time we leave the house. People judge him by the way he looks before they even get to know him.”
Axel was recently taking a stroll around his favorite park when, yet again, his cries for attention went unanswered.
According to Rianna, “[He] wanted to greet everyone with a big smile to say hello to all the people. He didn’t understand why all the other dogs were getting such a fuss and why no one wanted to stroke him.”
When the unhappy puppy realized the difference in attention, he appeared disappointed.
“He felt really left out, and when he got home, he climbed onto my chest for a cuddle,” Rianna said.

Rianna appreciates the social media fans that show her pet dog the same love she does, despite how Axel is treated in the outside world.
“He loves everyone he meets and taps people with his needy paws so they hold his hand,” Rianna said. “If you let go, he’ll put his paw right back in your hand! He is a big, gentle giant whose favorite thing is making people smile, but sometimes he forgets how big he is and I have to remind him he can’t fit on everyone’s lap.”
Axel was given to Rianna when he was 8 weeks old to go with her other dog, Nala. Rianna claimed that despite Axel’s size, he still sees himself as a puppy who loves to be loved.
Rianna stated, “This boy is a cuddle monster. He would spend all day snuggled up to me. He also does this funny thing where he wraps one paw around your waist and puts his head on your shoulder to give you a real-life hug! ”
The compassionate dog can also tell when Rianna is distressed and will bring her his favorite toy or snuggle her. Rianna is aware of how big Axel’s heart is, regardless of how the other park visitors see it.
“Axel changed my life completely,” Rianna said. “He is my dream dog and the whole world. He fills me with happiness every day and makes me feel like the luckiest dog mum in the world!
