Reddit asked. “How did you and your dog meet?” Some of the responses:
– “He came out backwards, with his little legs kicking. That was my dog.”
– “The puppies were all eating out of a big bowl of food except for one. The solo guy walked right through them all, went into the bowl, then laid down in it and proceeded to eat. That’s when I knew he was the one.”
– “Purchasing from a litter and he ran and hid under the fridge. I thought that’s my guy.”
– “Flaky girl from high school asked me to watch her dog for a month. Then flaky girl flaked out. So Peanut lives with us now.”
– “I went for my evening after-dinner walk and saw a car slow down and dump a dog, a small black mixed mutt in the street. I cornered it and it bit my hand, but I held on and took the little bastard home. Not long after, my great-granddaughter was over and really hit it off immediately. She renamed him ‘Rocco.’ Second time the great-granddaughter came over,Rocco ran to the kid like they were best buddies. I couldn’t break up that bond and Rocco went home with the kid.”
