A canine welcome committee
When Hiሑn and her husband arrived at their Airbnb in the mountains of Port Angeles, Washington State, they were looking forward to enjoying the views and the peace of the guest house. However, they certainly didn't expect to have a welcome committee. A yellow Labrador came rushing towards them, looking as if she had been waiting for them to arrive. This was Pearl, the host's dog. She was actually mentioned in the welcome pack, which warned guests that if a friendly Labrador turned up, they shouldn't worry, as she simply loves visitors.
Pearl did not take long to prove it. She gently nibbled Hiሑn's hand, nudged her for strokes, and even brought her a log from the outdoor fire pit to invite her to play, running around in sheer excitement.
A heartbreaking goodbye
The next day, Pearl was still never far away. Every time Hiሑn stepped outside, the dog was waiting patiently by the door. She was the first to greet them as early as 6:30 am, and her sad little face was more than enough to persuade the couple to come out and play. Hiሑn, completely won over, told The Dodo that the sweet dog made their stay in the remote cabin so much better.
When it was time to leave, Pearl followed the couple to their car, standing right by Hiሑn's side and watching as they reversed away. "It was the saddest moment of my entire trip," Hiሑn admitted. Used to this routine, Pearl then wandered back to her bed in the main house, where she waits for the next guests. Hiሑn and her husband haven't been back since, but they miss the dog terribly and would love to see her again.
