If you see an celebrity you idolize or a person you consider as your hero, how would you react? I would probably be so excited and try my best to get an autograph or a photo!
It turns out, it’s not just humans who get excited when they meet their idols or their heroes, dogs do too!
Ace is a service dog in training who got to meet his idol, his hero–Pluto! Ace was at a Disney park with the family who is training him for a socialization experience. And when Ace was face to face with Pluto, he was just so excited!
Watch the video below and see how Ace reacted when he met Pluto!
Awwwww…so cute!
Ace sort of forgot his training for a while, but after a few minutes, he remembered what he was supposed to do. You can see him lying down and in his stay position after around 10 seconds.
This is what his mom, Sandy Steinblums, wrote on Facebook:
“For those who made not so positive comments and don’t know this dog’s story….. this puppy is one I raised (as a volunteer) for Guide Dogs of America — he is training to be a guide dog for the blind. We went to Disneyland for a few hours as a socialization experience — what you didn’t see AFTER the 14-15 seconds video where he settled in a DOWN was his DOWN/STAY for a few minutes while Pluto tried to break his stay. Ace entered his “formal” guide dog training at the end of January. My “job” as a volunteer was to socialize and provide him with obedience training. This was a training outing and I was too far back to do a proper correction, but golly-be….he responded anyway. Yep! That is my boy and I am proud of him and love the Disney characters for being so kind and helpful! It will be 6-9 months of extensive training with licensed trainers before Ace has the opportunity to graduate as a guide dog and has the right match in a human partner.”
You’re a good boy, Ace! And we totally understand your reaction when you saw Pluto!
