A pair who bought a house previously owned by their chum were left gobsmacked after unearthing something significant on the floor.
Speaking on TikTok, Anna from Gothenburg, Sweden, shared video of her partner renovating their new abode – which they obtained in 2019. Seven years later, the twosome were emotional as they recalled their friend’s animal companion, who had died at the dwelling beforehand.

As Anna’s other half worked on sanding the wood strip separating two rooms, they remembered the pooch upon spotting peculiar marks on the laminate floor.
The marks in question were actually paw prints – and Anna added: “Drag path, but it’s the footprints of the former owner’s dead dog still by the front door… Never sanding those away, don’t you worry!”

Anna went into more detail to Newsweek. She said they’d moved to the house around when the canine – named Dizzy – had tragically been euthanized.

Anna carried on: “The family that dwelled there previously is a family friend. I knew him a few times. He was a splendid dog. Big and fluffy… He was very old, and they were moving into an apartment. He couldn’t walk much or see very well, so sadly it was his time.”

Writing in reply, numerous TikTok users were pleased the pair had decided not to sand over the paw prints, with some even proposing ways to commemorate Dizzy’s memory.
One suggested: “If you ever need to replace these, cut them out and have them to the previous owners.”
This prompted Anna to consider: “Wait I love this idea, that would be the most amazing gift. It would probably mean so much to them as well.”

A second observed: “That’s a sign that the house is blessed. It will be amazing love there.” To which Anna replied warmly: “That’s a nice thing to think about.”
A third remarked: “This is a hard reminder that my Danes don’t have the longest lifespan. If you can, you should cut them out and frame them or make them into something.”
Whilst a fourth reflected: “Aww. Things like these make life worth living.” And a fifth TikTok user commended: “Thank you for keeping them. This dog will be watching over you for as long as you live in his old old house.”

Anna clearly believes in this theory – and says she can “feel” a sense of love in the property she now inhabits.
She added: “It feels like he’s watching over the house still. It’s nice to let the house have a little soul left from the old owners. Still, through all the renovations, the house gets to keep a bit of its old soul, feels nice.”
