A unique moment for humans and animals.
One year old Australian Sheppard named Skipper is on a special trip with his owner Nancy.
She takes her dog on trips two to three times a week.
However, the boat trip is the first where the dog gets to see the whales.
One of the whales swims close to the boat.
Skipper runs excitedly from left to right and tries to look over the railings of the boat.
“He usually barks a lot when we’re on the boat, but this time he was very quiet and just watched the animals. He seemed very intrigued,” reports Nancy.
Although the four-legged friend is often present on the boat trips, this is the first time the dog has been able to see and smell the animals.
This probably has something to do with the smell of the unfamiliar sea creatures.
“I hadn’t seen the whales in the past year. For a lot of people, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Nancy told SWNS
She has seen whales many times in her life, but she is always excited and at least as fascinated as her four-legged companion.
