With people stuck indoors due to the strictly implemented lock-down, more and more people are turning to fitness to keep themselves busy. It’s an excellent way to stay healthy while offices have halted operations. For pet owners, this could be a challenge but certainly not for Brian and his adorable dog, Magnus.
Brian Benson works out daily, and this lovable pup always joins him! Magnus enjoys being around and close to his humans as a therapy dog. Whether they’re working at their desk or doing yoga, he relishes every single minute with them. Naturally, the sharp canine always attends a workout session.
Most dogs would be a distraction for their owners whenever they get their workouts in, but not for this duo. Now that all gyms are closed, Brian is fortunate to have Magnus. Thankfully, Magnus doesn’t keep his dad from doing his exercises; instead, he observes and learns from him.
When Brian stretches, Magnus follows along. No matter what pose Brian does, Magnus copies. Soon, he acquired them but couldn’t do all the movements. Instead, he assists his dad.
When he does push-ups, Magnus stands in front and gives his dad a high five for each rep. If he gets too tired, he lies down on Brian’s back to make it more challenging. And when Brian does sit-ups, Magnus holds his feet for extra support. It doesn’t matter if the movement is tough or too simple; Magnus is there to help.
Magnus understands how exciting working out can be. Now, he can spend quality time with his dad and even help! Benson even mentioned how the two of them have been inseparable ever since! A certified therapy dog and a health nut, the dynamic that the two show makes them the perfect workout buddies.
