When we are in a large crowd I discourage people from petting Max. It's not that Max would hurt them but people do stupid things and I don't want anyone or Max to get hurt.
Walking past this young lady I saw the look on her face. She saw Max and the look was pure Lab Love.
I told her he was gentle and she got down on the street to pet him. We didn't have to tell her and didn't have to tell Max not to do anything, it was a moment of sheer happiness for both of them.
Wonderful pictures !! You can tell this young lady LOVES dogs. Dogs can tell who is going to love them, and this is one of those. When you are out walking your dog, people who like dogs will smile and give you a nod. These pictures made my day. Wish I was the one there.
ReplyDeleteI wish you were there with us!
DeleteOh yeah-the look of love is there for sure...on BOTH of their faces. Those are super photos, Linda. :)
ReplyDeleteWho could not take a photo of such happiness! Thanks Carol.
DeleteSweet Max
ReplyDeleteHe sure is
DeleteWho doesn't smile when they see Max? Dogs are are so intuitive, guess that's why they use them for therapy. They can make you smile without trying. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteSome people say he's a fat dog. They have no idea what a English Lab looks like. When they smile it isn't because he's a good looking dog, they are smiling cause they are laughing at him.
DeleteWe are use to it and just keep on walking.
Sweet! Both Max & the young girl look so happy.
ReplyDeletethey were Angela!
DeleteWhat a fun experience for them both. So funny how animals know who they like, don you think?

DeleteAwww That's wonderful. I'm a Lab lover too! We have a Black Lab. She's 12 now, and starting with her arthritis. It makes us sad because we already lost one Lab, but she lived until she was 17 yrs. The Vet said Labs don't usually live that long, but then he said "She must be well loved"! You bet your sweet...., she is"! There the best dogs ever. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures. Following you. Hope you can find some time to stop by and follow me on my Linky Followers! Thanks.
ReplyDelete17 years! You were one lucky lady.
DeleteThe picture says so much. That little Lady looks so happy to meet Max..As Max does with her. Such a loving reunion for someone meeting for the first time. Or were they soulmates in another life. ; }
ReplyDeleteYou never know Dottie!
