Every sitter's worst nightmare! LOL

Be careful who you bring home from the dog park! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(To be clear, this isn’t me, just something I read on Reddit that made me go ‘oh God, I could see that happening on a sit since you’re less familiar with the doggo’.)

So, here’s what happened: I took my golden retriever, Max, to the dog park yesterday, as usual. He’s a social butterfly, so I let him off-leash to run around with the other dogs. When it was time to go, I spotted him by the water bowl, called him over, and he happily trotted up. I leashed him, said bye to a few dog park regulars, and headed home.

It wasn’t until I got inside that I realized… this wasn’t Max. The dog I brought home looked almost identical, but was a bit too hyper, and had a weird fascination with my cat, which Max usually ignores. After a brief moment of panic, I checked the tag—and yep, totally different dog.

TL:DR;

Turns out, his owner had already noticed the switch and was frantically looking around the park. I rushed back with “Not-Max,” and we had a good laugh about it once we sorted it out. Anyone else have one of those “I can’t believe this just happened” moments lately?

The other human would’ve gotten a deal by taking your Max home. :joy:

It’s funny how the dog just left so easily with someone else. Though when I see how quickly most dogs adjust to our presence, and don’t seem particularly bothered by their owner’s absence, it actually is not that surprising!

Golden’s, in my experience, think every human is their BFF and will walk off a cliff with a rando if invited.

I’ve almost taken the wrong dog home once. And have had the cat bring a pal through the cat flap as well.
