Dog’s Day Out with Granddad Goes Viral with Heartmelting Photos

Dog’s Day Out with Granddad Goes Viral with Heartmelting Photos

When Meghan Specksgoor had to leave her dog overnight with her Dad, she had no idea what an awesome time the two would have. Dad sent frequent updates and photos of his adventures with Chance. Fast food, manicures, ice cream, a sleepover— what more fun could any grand-dog and grandad have?

Meghan posted the photos to Twitter and quickly discovered internet fame as the images were retweeted and liked thousands of times.

Chance and Grandpa’s Dream Date

“Chance is allowed to do whatever he wants with my dad – like an actual grandchild – and is given all sorts of treats the whole time he’s with him,” Meghan told Bored Panda.

Chance was rescued from the Richmond Animal League, where he was taken in with a shattered jaw. Chance is named for Chance the Rapper and his second chance at the good life. We think he’s found it!

Check out all of Chance’s sleepover photos below.

First, a lunch date

 

After the picnic, a manicure

 

Ice cream too? This dog may never go home

 

Last but not least, a slumber party

If you need a dog lover to hang out with your dog, and you don’t have a dad quite like this, try Rover. You can opt for a full doggy daycare experience, or simply have someone swing by for a walk.
