Boy caught on video sneaking into neighbor’s garage to hug her dog

edit: btw all - don't bother reading the comments (you'll just need another "cleaning"...sigh).

Thanks.

Such a lovely story. Thank you for sharing this with us!

K&R!

OS

Not really. I love this story!

....with all the crap going on lately, I really need that. Thanks! Now I think I'll go give my pups a big fat hug.

without permission, so of course he thought he was doing wrong. Well, now he has permission.

I enjoyed it.

Perhaps a local animal shelter can step in to help.


rocktivity

but certainly they can get another dog

I needed that.

Every dog should have a little boy or girl of their own.

Brings back some memories. When I was a little boy, there was a big (almost giant) black lab that lived some distance down the street from me. I was always out on my bike doing something - and one day when he was standing there, wagging his tail and looking longingly at the tennis ball in the grass, I decided to stop and play with him a bit. It began something of a friendship between Cob (that was his name) and I that lasted for several years. Occasionally Cob's humans would come outside, or stop and watch - and other neighborhood kids eventually came to see him, too.

Not sure what made me decide to play with him that day, since he was big - and I was always kind of scared of big dogs back then. Maybe he just looked lonely. Or bored. Maybe it was that giant wagging tail, or the fact that he didn't rip my face off (which, in retrospect, could have happened) when I stopped to play with him.

This kid took it a step further in sneaking into a garage - but I'll bet you it was the dog's fault for staring at him with those big eyes and wagging it's tail. I wish there were more stories like this.

We really need to have more of these.

What a great kid.

Any dog owners familiar with this? They like being pet but not hugged because it is restraining and makes them feel intimidated?

Anyway, I'm glad this boy did not get shot for trespassing. It's a cute story. And hopefully he'll get longer play sessions with the owners permission and not have to hide it.

Some dogs don't like hugging, because it restrains them in a way no other dog or pack member could do, but some dogs don't mind it, and some actually like it. I currently have a basset hound who not only likes hugs from me, but who will actually seek me out in order to get hugs. My previous basset hound, on the other hand, didn't care for hugs, and would squirm and struggle when I tried to hug him.

Dogs are very much individuals, just like people, and often have different likes and dislikes.

a friends dog sat still for my daughter to pet her even though sitting still for that long was painful for the dog. But my daughter is retarded and that dog and our cats instinctively knew that and were extra patient with her. She loves dogs and cats as a result.

were ok. the boy would probably have known if the dog was not into it and not tried much more . but in this case they did get along .

I'm glad things turned out well for the little boy and the dog....

I doubt that he could get anymore adorable.

share along with the usual horrible news. It's my favorite local news channel.

Look at the mug on the dog....looks like mutual love

Bella had been with him since he was 2 . and he lost her last year. affection from a dog(and i assume other animals) could do so much for one's life.
