Dog Won’t Eat His Breakfast Until He Gets A Hug From Dad

When Ben Johnson was helping at a shelter, he met Dash. Dash just wanted a long embrace from Ben, so he concluded the dog was cautious of outsiders.

Ben explained to The Dodo:

“I met him in the Humane Society’s back room. I knelt to avoid seeming scary. He approached me and placed his head on my chest… For approximately 10 minutes, I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. He pushed me against his chest every time I saw him after that until I hugged him.”

Ben decided to sponsor Dash for that year’s charity walk at the local shelter. Because it was so hot outside, the shelter allowed her to take Dash home for a restful night away from the kennel.

The dog was so happy to be in such a peaceful environment that he slept on the sofa with Ben’s dog, Coltrane.

Ben couldn’t locate Dash to offer him breakfast the next morning, so he looked and searched until he found his 5-year-old son’s playroom. He discovered him in the most unexpected of circumstances.

Ben said:

“With a plastic screwdriver, our kid was giving Dash a dental exam with a Fisher-Price instrument.” Dash laid on his back, jaws wide, as our son examined him thoroughly. We recognized at that point that he would never leave our house again ».

Dash finally has the family he’d always wanted, and he’s discovered a way to thank them for adopting him after all these years.

The dog has remained friendly and affectionate. Before she eats her food, Dash prefers to greet the day with a hug.

Ben said:

“He’s been hugging before breakfast for a couple of years now. She sets her dish down and waits to eat, wagging her tail and staring at you until you cuddle her. He needs at least one hug, often two, and will occasionally stop eating in the middle of a meal for another embrace.”

Take a look at Dash’s cute morning routine:

Before meals, Ben and his family are glad to give Dash as many hugs as he requires. Without a doubt, the adorable puppy returns their affection in such a way that it looks reasonable.
