Great Dane at Doggy Daycare Proves He's a True Gentleman

Located in Boynton Beach, Beach Dog Daycare often shares videos of its four-legged guests, and one Great Dane named Big Buddy has quickly become a fan favorite. While he's there during the day, Buddy has clearly picked out a favorite human, and he has the sweetest way of getting her attention.

Buddy spends time in a large fenced-in area when he's not out playing, but it's not much of a barrier; he could easily hop right over it. Instead, he patiently waits, and when his favorite person gets close enough, he stands up to greet her, making it clear he's ready for a hug (and maybe a kiss). It's one of the cutest things you'll see today.
