One of the breakout stars of the animated movie UP has to be Dug, the talking dog. And for one service dog, meeting the famous pup at Disney World was everything.
If you have ever watched the animated movie UP, then you know that this film is full of adorable characters, emotional moments, and of course a talking dog named Dug. And for one service dog visiting Disney World, it seems like getting to meet Dug was the highlight of the trip.
We all know that a service dog is a working dog, meaning that they have a job to do and even if they are visiting a place like Disney, they are on duty. But when they are allowed to take a break, sometimes you get some of the cutest moments. And during a recent trip to Disney, Jessica Paulsen’s service dog Henry had the opportunity to show some love to two Up characters, Russell and Dug.
In a moment that has definitely gone viral with the help of Fox News, we all get to see as Henry can barely contain his joy over meeting Dug. And the Disney cast member is just as excited (at least based on all of that dog-like wiggling we see).
A post shared to Henry’s Instagram account includes a message from Paulsen that reminds everyone that even though her pup is a service dog and works hard, he also deserves a reward like this. And after a long day at Disney, this was his treat.
Personally, we love the sense of joy and excitement that seems to exude from this video. Not only is Henry too cute, but it is clear that he is excited to see Dug in person. And how can we resist a caption like, “I have just met you and I love you,” when it is truly a Dug line.
We love all dogs and we think service dogs and working dogs deserve just as much love as any other pup. So it was nice to see this pup getting to enjoy a moment like this, as he met the beloved Disney/Pixar character.
