This is what happens Riptide and Dude meet. They play tug-o-war as long as you'll let them. Or until Riptide has more salt water down his throat than he can handle. They love it, I love it, and countless bystanders love it.
There is one person - who I refer to as the President of the Riptide Fan Club - that does mind. Meet Conor. Every time Rip & Dude do their thing, Conor gets very upset. In fact, when he sees Riptide approaching, he breaks down in tears. He yells "let go! let go!" while they play. Conor is Dude's human boy, and he is not amused by Riptide's playful antics. Anyone up for his post when he retires?There is something so silly/sweet in the face of a French Bulldog. The ears you just want to grab... and something in their personality that KNOWS you do. A bit resigned and plugging on, I saw this fellow checking up to its human to be sure things were going right.
