A service dog went viral on TikTok after meeting his favorite character on a Disney cruise.
A golden retriever named Forest went viral on TikTok after his handler, Ashton McGrady, shared a video showing the service dog excited to meet Pluto on the Disney cruise.
Although service dogs are not allowed to play while on duty, Forest couldn’t resist some affection from Disney’s most famous dog.
@radiantlygolden I just want to go back to this moment 🥹 if you’re friends with Pluto and you see this, you made our entire day ♥️ #waltdisneyworld #wdw50 #epcotfestivalofthearts #festivalofthearts #epcot #charactermeetandgreet #disneytiktok #distok #servicedog #servicedogteam #servicedogsatdisney ♬ Disney Medley #4: Go the Distance / Can You Feel the Love Tonight / A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes – Joseph Vincent
“These dogs are so good and work so hard to keep their owners safe; it’s great to see them having a little fun,” commented one user.
Some noticed that the person dressed as Pluto wagged their own tail after meeting Forest.
“It’s like the Disney hugging rule applies to dogs too, but it’s playing with them until they’re done.”
The “Disney hugging rule” is an unofficial rule where Disney cast members dressed as characters don’t end a hug with a child until the child lets go.
Forest was also seen on another occasion meeting his friend Pluto.
@radiantlygolden If a business is not pet-friendly, they may only ask these TWO questions! note: “emotional support” is NOT considered a valid answer to question 2. thank you @Disney Parks for this great example of how it should be done. #servicedog #servicedoglife #servicedogteam #disabilitytiktok #disneyparks ♬ original sound – IG/YT: radiantlygolden
