Chewy the Newfoundland may be a giant, fluffy dog, but when it comes to his 96-year-old great-grandma, he is all sweetness.
The gentle giant has always shared a special bond with her, and judging by one heartwarming summer moment, the two are completely in sync.
On one of the hottest days of the year so far, Chewy and his great-grandma had the exact same idea: cool off, relax and enjoy the evening together.
Chewy’s mom shared the sweet clip on his social media account, @chewythenewfie, and it quickly had viewers smiling. In the video, the massive Newfie can be seen lounging in a kiddie pool while spending time with his favorite person.

It is hard to imagine a better summer setup for a dog like Chewy. Newfoundlands are known for their thick coats, which can make warm weather extra uncomfortable. A small pool gives big, fluffy dogs a safe and fun way to cool down when the temperature climbs.
But the best part of the moment was not just the pool. It was who Chewy was sharing it with.
His 96-year-old great-grandma seemed perfectly happy to sit nearby as he relaxed in the water, and Chewy looked just as content to be beside her.
Viewers could not get enough of the pair’s quiet connection.
“Chewy is so appreciative,” one commenter noticed.
And he really did seem grateful. Between the cool water, the summer sunset and his great-grandma right there with him, Chewy looked like he was having the perfect evening.
It is the kind of simple family moment that says everything without needing much explanation.
Some dogs get toys. Some get treats. Chewy got a pool day with his great-grandma.
And judging by his happy face, that was exactly what he wanted.
