Passing bonding energy

Tales from the Backyard…After I got Cady my Springer, I joined the New England Springer Spaniel Rescue group and did transport, evaluation and housed other dogs for a day or 2 until a home or foster home could be found.  It was great fun and I met some really nice people and dogs.  One of the dogs that came our way was a huge (I mean Great Dane size) Springer that we had for 3 days.  He was a moosh, what a sweetie.  I got a call that a possible owner might have been found, could I take him to Conn. for the guy to see him.  I said sure and made arrangements to meet him at one of the freeway rest areas between him and me.  I got there early and walked the 2 dogs (Cady and Marmaduke?) around and then sat at a picnic table and waited.  Soon a car pulled into the parking area and a guy got out and headed our way.  Always a jokester, when he had gotten 50 or so feet from us I held up my hand and said “stop”.  Startled, he did.  I told him  that the dog and I had built up this great bond over the last days and that I wanted to transfer that energy to him.  I told him to keep his eyes straight ahead, don’t talk or move.  I then knelt by the dog and released the leash and the dog just walked to the guy, circled around his back to his left side and sat down, then leaned against the guy’s leg, all without me saying a word.  I was flabbergasted.  And kid you not the guys eyes began to water.  He just said, “I’ll take him”. And put him is his car and left.  I stood there to stunned to burst out laughing and actually forgot to collect the $200 fee we charged..
