Going to the doctor is an ancient fear that bothers many people. It’s no wonder why our pets also struggle with going to the vet, where sitting in the waiting room is perhaps the trickiest part.
However, just as we like our doctor to encourage us with a good approach, our pets live through these moments more easily if they have a veterinarian who will whisper in their ear that everything will be alright.
And, sometimes give them some treats as well!
Literally The Perfect Patient
When the dog came into the waiting room, he immediately climbed on the chair and anxiously waited to be called into what is probably the most hated room in the world.
Dr. Thomas Hamilton, owner of the Veterinary Clinic, in Warwick, Rhode Island, decided to ease this dog’s worries.
While the pup was sitting stiffly on the chair, and his parents couldn’t do anything for him, Dr. Tom sat down next to him.
Without the doctor doing anything, it seemed as if the dog had already calmed down a bit. It seems as if this experienced doctor radiated some calming energy that worked very quickly.
Of course, the doctor knew that energy alone would not solve the problem, so he brought a surprise for the dog.
“I brought some snacks,” Dr. Tom said, and those present could immediately see how this dog’s mood suddenly improved.
For the next few moments, this canine fellow had to reach out to the doctor or bark to get a tasty hickory-flavored snack. Not only did he do what the doctor told him, but he also showered him with kisses.
“Oh, thank you for the kisses,” said a delighted Dr. Tom, taking out his stethoscope and gently placing it on the dog’s lungs while holding his paw.
This good boy didn’t even blink and the examination was already over.
“Good job,” Dr. Tom said, while the other human in the room added: “Literally the perfect patient!”

Dr. Tom posted this video on his TikTok profile, and it didn’t take long for it to attract the attention of his many followers, and beyond.
Video Took The Internet By Storm
In no time, the video went viral, getting over a million views in just a few days. Also, there were many reactions, and they were mostly positive.
“Look him sittin like a little human 🥺 I love this!!😁” one user wrote.
Another one added: “That’s a good boy 🥺”.
And some of them were even joking, like the one that said: “My doctor never brings me snacks. It’s like she doesn’t even care that I am uncomfortable. I might need to switch to a vet. 😂”
It didn’t just end on the TikTok video. This cute story was published by numerous media houses, including the most famous ones, such as ABC news.
And, they definitely hit the nail on the head with it because as one TikTok user wrote: “Who could resist such a cute dog, but also such a handsome vet”.
Dr. Tom Has Always Been An Animals’ Pal
This is not just an isolated case in which Dr. Thomas Hamilton delighted the public with his excellent approach to dogs. Every animal that came to his veterinary clinic in Warwick received the best possible treatment.
In another viral TikTok video by Dr. Tom, a very anxious dog couldn’t stop shaking when he came into the waiting room.
However, this amazing vet knew exactly what to do, so in the end, this terrified pup ended up in the doctor’s arms, giving him many kisses.
And, his parents even joked that after that, he couldn’t wait to see the vet again.
