Pet Follow script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I am trying to make a pet follow script but whenever I add a pet it just falls. Here is my code (This is in a server script)

local function givePet(player, pet)
	if player then
		local character = player.Character
		if character then
			local humRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
			local newPet = pet:Clone()
			newPet:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(humRootPart.CFrame)
			newPet.Parent = character

			local bodyPos = Instance.new("BodyPosition", newPet)
			bodyPos.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)

			local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro", newPet)
			bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
			
			while true do
				bodyPos.Position = humRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(2, 2, 3)
				bodyGyro.CFrame = humRootPart.CFrame
				wait()
			end
		end
	end
end

And here is a video of what happens each time I give myself a pet

As you can see the pet just falls as if no forces are applied to it. All the parts of the pet are unanchored and can collide is turned off. I’ve tried making all the parts massless but I get the same result. I have paused the game and it does create the body position and body gyro with the correct values so I have no idea what is going on here. I’ve even tried changing the math.huge() to some large numbers but that didn’t change anything. What am I doing wrong here?

I’ve figured it out. The body position and body gyro have to be parented to a part whereas I was parenting them to the model.
