Just had a random blue heeler (had a collar, someone's pet) rock up in the back yard here.
It freaked out when I went out to say hello.
It had 2 options.
jump off the patio (about 0.5m off the ground) which it was close to doing.
Or lean in to the situation and get pats.
It chose pats.
Good doggo.
It chose wisely.
I needed those pats.
I love this, glad that dog could come by for some much needed pats!
