Dogs are the best!! 🐕♥️🤕🤭
Over the last couple of weeks we've been doing artwork and posting about positive and uplifting stories to hopefully put a smile on everyone's faces. We got to thinking and decided to start a fun, new, little series based on good stories we've heard from around the globe.
We're starting with the adorable story of Russell Jones and his dog Bill from London. Russell noticed one day that Bill was limping, so he took him to the vet to find out what was wrong. Well, Russell had recently had his leg placed in a cast and had been walking with crutches - and it turns out that sweet Bill was just simply copying his owners limp out of sympathy."
“Cost me £300 in vet fees and X-rays, nothing wrong, just sympathy. Love him,” Russell wrote in the description of his post.
According to Cesar’s Way, “There are a number of different creatures that imitate others within their own species. People imitate other people. Birds imitate other birds. Non-human primates like monkeys and apes imitate others in their group.”
“But dogs not only imitate other dogs—they copy what we do as well. What’s even crazier is that they have been known to do so even when the imitation doesn’t benefit them,” Cesar’s Way explains on their webpage.
