One of the most common problems associated with aging is the inability to stand for long periods of time.
So, naturally, people like to take a nap and relax after working hard. This is completely normal.
However, for the man in this story, naps are much more than just relaxing times, as he has made many new friends with his neighbor’s dogs who also enjoy resting with him.
A nap with his best friends
Catey Room she went about her day as usual when she saw her father, Watson, taking a nap with his neighbor’s dogs.
It would become more commonlike Hall said The Dodo: Dad sees, plays with and naps with one or more of these dogs daily. They come running when they see his car and follow him inside.
She said her father always loved dogs and also works with a local rescue shelter, called Book on the Hill.
She continued by saying: For as long as I can remember, my father has rescued stray dogs. Growing up, we always had a dog. But there was always room for a stray animal in need.
Now that he lives alone with his wife, there is room for several. They work with area rescues to find homes for dogs in need; however, not all of them are relocated and they stay with Dad forever.
Watson, the dog whisperer
Currently, he houses four dogsbut the neighbor’s dogs, Hooch, Fluffer-Nutter and Rosie all love Watson and enjoy spending time with him whenever they can.
Because they live in a semi-rural part of Alabama, the street design is such that the houses are not far apart and are built further from the road, allowing the dogs to roam safely.
So when they see Watson outside, they immediately rush to his side for treats, playtime, and a well-deserved nap.
And the neighbors? Do they have anything to say about their dogs spending so much time with Watson?
Well, they don’t mind at all and wouldn’t even think of interrupting their nap.
Hall exclaimed that he is so good with dogs that sometimes, even his dogs are not safe from his father’s charm.
She said: In fact, they try to go with Dad when he’s here visiting.
It’s truly amazing to see elderly people who give so much affection and attention to our four-legged friends and do everything they can to help them.
Their bond is truly something beautiful, and it should serve as an example to all of us on how to be better to our dogs.
