A local woman has been brightening the days of dog owners and their pets on her daily walks in Hernando County. She has a special way of connecting with dogs, using a secret whistle that catches their attention, and then showering them with praise and affection.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, says she used to carry dog treats on her walks but has since stopped, preferring to use her whistle and kind words to win over the dogs. She tells them what a beautiful dog they are, and they usually come running over to her. She then rubs their ears, scratches their nose, and sometimes even scratches their belly. The dogs seem to agree with her assessment that they are perfect dogs, but their owners are sometimes more humble, pointing out their pets’ flaws.
The woman has had owners who agree with her that their dogs are perfect, and she believes this indicates a strong bond between the owner and pet. She has also had owners who disagree, citing their dog’s misbehavior, but she takes this in stride, replying with a humorous remark about the dog being 99.5% perfect.
The woman’s ‘dose of dog’ has become a welcome treat for many in the community, and she plans to continue spreading joy on her daily walks.
