Sometimes, dogs need their own space. That’s perfectly normal. But then there’s Stanley, the dog who wants to be with his owner, All. The. Time.
Meet Stanley, also known as Velcro Dog, thanks to his devoted owner, Sam Clarence. They were meant to be together from the moment they met on a sunny day. Sam volunteers as a dog walker, and when he first saw Stanley, he knew this pup would be his perfect buddy.
When Sam brought Stanley home, the little guy was scared and shy. It made sense, considering the rough start he had in life. But it didn’t take long for Stanley to warm up to Sam and capture his heart.
Wherever Sam goes, Stanley is right there with him. The sweetest part? Stanley loves to hold hands. There’s no such thing as alone time for this duo. When Sam goes to sleep, Stanley follows right behind. When Sam settles in to watch TV, Stanley’s paw is always nearby. And yes, even when Sam drives, Stanley finds a way to be next to him. They’ve figured out how to make it work, even if it gets a bit tricky.
Now that Stanley is older, his desire to stay close to Sam hasn’t faded at all. And Sam’s love for Stanley is just as strong as ever.
This is why many say dogs are the most loyal companions. No matter who comes and goes, your dog will always be there for you—until the very end.
