When Brooks Rabren discovered a lost dog on his front porch, he knew just what to do. He took some photos of the sweet girl and posted them on Facebook to get the word out, then while they waited for her family to find her, they had a very excellent day together.
So this random dog showed up to my house to hang today here’s the thread of what we did pic.twitter.com/l7WsS2lKp6

“I wanted to take care of her like I would want someone who found my pet to take care of them,”

And then it was time to go home
Update: Lola’s owners found her and were very happy she had such a fun day and that she’s okay! Hopefully she’ll drop by to see me again sometime soon!

But Lola had so much fun in fact, that as soon as her family got her home, she proceeded to run straight back to Brooks’ place for more fun time.

No apologies necessary
Sorry this threads getting so long, we are just having so much fun! I unfortunately haven’t had a dog in a few years☹️ so I’m enjoying this for as long as I can! pic.twitter.com/37ecFoMnF3

And even considered making it permanent
When I showed her owner how much love Lola was getting on Twitter and how much fun Lola had today she almost started crying and thanked me for taking such good care of her. Made the day that much better for sure.

But in the end, decided on occasional playdates as being best for everyone involved.
Thanks for taking such good care of Lola Brooks, you are a most excellent dog person.
