I took my dog to the beach last night, and the most heartwarming thing happened!

I went with a friend to let our dogs play and we let them loose. Callisto has really good recall, but it is important to note he’s a pretty independent pup and LOVES to sniff things, so often he’ll come at his own pace rather than right when called. So we’re chatting and Cal wanders back and forth, always within view. That is, until I notice he’s disappeared. I call for him… and I call again, but nothing. So I get up just to make sure he isn’t pestering anyone. I go walk over and find him behind a tree sniffing, just out of sight. I can see some people a bit aways so I bring him back to where we’re sitting and we continue chatting. A little while later, Callisto disappears again. This time, we’re about ready to go, so I figure I’ll let him have his sniff, then I’ll leash him and we’ll leave. Well, as I call for him, he appears… glued to a random man’s side! The guy is laughing and saying something to Callisto out of earshot. I’m a little embarrassed so I run over to leash him and the guy says to me, “That dog has got a lot of love in its heart. That right there is a good dog.” 🥹 My heart completely melted, how sweet!!! He was pestering the right person it seems, he definitely made that guys night. I just had to share because it was so sweet to know he was just around the corner, making friends like usual. This is truly the best dog ever 🧡
