This is Luna — a sweet dog who’s never been too eager to embrace the messier sides of life. Truth is, the pampered pup has always gone out of her way to keep her paws from getting wet and dirty.
“She doesn’t like it,” Luna’s mom, Fernanda Kreibich, told The Dodo. “She won’t even step on the grass after it’s rained. She’s super clean.”
Luna may have a thing about keeping herself neat and spotless — but recently, it seems the little dog has had a change of heart about getting dirty.
Well, on this day she didn’t.
Without warning, Luna decided to run ahead and join two other dogs at the worksite in a large, muddy puddle. Kreibich’s reaction to Luna’s sudden messy turn? “My God,” she wrote.
In an instant, the formerly dirt-phobic pup realized what she’d been missing all along:
“I don’t know what happened,” Kreibich said. “I couldn’t believe it. She was having fun [in the mud].”
The muddy romp left Luna filthy — and she absolutely loved it.
“She was super proud,” Kreibich said. “She’d found herself.”
Luna had evidently uncovered a new passion in life — setting aside the desire to remain spotless all the time.
Afterward, however, Kreibich did give her a bath.
But instead, she’s actually supportive of her pup’s new passion.
“I want her to have fun!” Kreibich said. “I will definitely take her back to the mud puddle to play.”
