Why it worked

The video taps into strong emotional triggers by combining a heartwarming story of a terminally ill pet with a visually appealing and unique activity (matching nail art). The creator's direct plea for followers to help fulfill her dog's 'wish' creates a sense of urgency and encourages engagement.

Summary

The video shows a woman painting her nails while also painting a dog's nails to match. The dog, Bella, has cancer and is not expected to live much longer. The creator is asking viewers to follow her account to reach 10,000 followers before Bella passes away, as this is something that brings her joy.

Transcript

This dog has weeks left to live. Her final wish was matching nails with me. Bella's got cancer, the vet's giving her days now, not months. Her mom said the one thing that still lights her up is watching her paint nails. She told me if Bella reaches 10,000 people before she goes, she'll know she mattered. So please follow for her. Same white tips, same little red stars. Hers on these tiny paws, mine on my hands. She didn't flinch. She just lay there and let me. All when she knew it was all for her. When her mom showed her those matching paws, she just closed her eyes at peace. Drop her a little heart below. She knows she'll be beautiful.
