This affectionate Toller staying perfectly cuddled during his mom’s musical practice
Every dog parent dreams of having a supportive best friend who loves spending time with them — no matter what. But this Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever takes it to the next level by becoming the ultimate musical companion.
Meet the adorable Toller who happily snuggles with his mom through every note, giggle, and missed chord during her singing sessions.
The Most Supportive Dog Audience You’ll Ever See
In a heart-melting video shared by musician Brenly Faye (@brenlyfaye), she’s lying on the living room floor strumming her banjo and singing “Pretty Little Baby” by Connie Francis. Right beside her, her gorgeous Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is stretched out, soaking up every moment.
As Brenly sings, her pup rolls over and gently tucks his snout into the crook of her neck for maximum snuggles. When she starts laughing from the pure sweetness of it, her whole body shakes — but the dog doesn’t budge an inch. He’s completely unbothered and just wants to stay close.
Brenly calls him her biggest fan, and it’s easy to see why. In the caption, she wrote that they love “pickin and grinnin” together on the floor. This loyal pup doesn’t care about perfect pitch — he just loves being part of the music with his favorite human.

Dog parents in the comments can’t get enough:
- “This is the most supportive audience ever!”
- “He’s her biggest fan-boy — wrong notes and all 😂”
- “I need a dog who loves my singing this much!”
