My New Friend Cleo. Love At First Sight

by Jon Katz

There are some dogs – Zinnia is one – who just love everyone. Yesterday, while in town shopping, I met Cleo, who was also overjoyed to see me.

We bonded, which was not difficult, and she just about burst her seams licking me and wagging her tail. She is a two-year-old short-haired St. Bernard and a gorgeous dog.

I parked next to the car she was in and her human said it was fine to pet her and talk to her — “you’ll make her day.” And she made mine.

It was love at first sight all around.

  1. Awwww, Cleo is gorgeous. Our first, and only, dog was a Saint Bernard. Not sure why we picked such a large breed, but she turned out to be a wonderful choice. She was very sweet, just a little slobbery, but you get used to it! U・ᴥ・U

  2. Yes, it is true! There is love at first sight, especially with dogs! What a sweet new friend you made! Hope you get to see her again sometime. Dogs know the humans who are dog lovers right away!

  3. Well, now I’m in love too! I almost kissed my tablet on her furry soft nose, trying to take her big old soft head in my hands. I tell ya, dogs know what it’s all about.
