Leaving a dog at daycare comes with numerous advantages. Not only does it free up the owner’s time for work and other commitments, but it also provides the dog with an opportunity to socialize and engage in playful interactions, which serves as excellent mental stimulation.
However, when it’s time for pickup, almost every dog will start wagging its tail upon seeing its beloved owner, excited to return to its favorite place—home.
But sometimes, that isn’t the case. One owner experienced this firsthand when his dog showed no desire to leave the daycare. The reason behind this was truly heartwarming.
Love At First Paw
On one particular day, Andy Hunt arrived to take his Pyrenees and Golden Retriever mix from the doggy daycare, only to be greeted with a surprise. His cherished pet had no intention of departing.
Under the username Mysterious-Cat-3312, Andy posted some pictures on Reddit that beautifully illustrate why his dog, Rainbow, was reluctant to leave at that moment.
“The day my dog didn’t want to leave daycare,” he captioned the photos that followed.
Rainbow had formed a bond with another dog at daycare, and their relationship blossomed into something truly special. The pictures reveal the tender way they touched each other.
One dog rests its paw on the other’s leg while the second rests its chin on the first’s head. This intimate connection clearly illustrates that it’s not merely a chance encounter, but rather love at first sight—at first paw.
While at first, he may have felt frustrated with Rainbow, it’s likely that his feelings shifted once he witnessed the beautiful reason his dog wanted to stay a little longer.
This kind of affection is truly a rare sight.
Amazing Reactions
Andy anticipated that his photos would garner attention on Reddit, but the response exceeded his expectations significantly.
The comments were overwhelmingly positive, with a few standing out:
“They looked so much like a couple in love. Damn,” commented one user.
“He found his second family lol,” another remarked.
And a third added humorously: “Married and everything already.”
Though this moment was beautiful on its own, we hope this sweet love story continues, leading to more adorable photos of these two dogs shared on Reddit in the future.
