Your Pet Is Your Soul

In Hawaiian, their ‘Kahu’. Guardian Beloved Attendant safekeeping their property.

A man performs increasingly absurd acts of care for a long purple tentacle-like object, treating it as a precious pet while captions explain that Hawaiian “kahu” means guardian, beloved attendant, and caretaker rather than owner. The solemn narration and DS Productions’ sad emotional piano music make the ridiculous caretaking look deeply heartfelt, creating the joke that the object is supposedly a part of his soul rather than his property.

In Hawaiian, you don't call yourself your pet's owner. You are their kahu. Kahu has many meanings. Among them, guardian, protector, steward, beloved attendant. Basically, someone entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious. something cherished. What a kahoo protects is not their property. What they protect is a part of their soul.
