Foxtrot is a big dog, but she doesn’t seem to know it.
The 3-year-old Newfoundland is a gentle giant, and always treats kids and smaller animals with respect and sensitivity. “Foxy is a very large dog and gets scared easily,” Rachel Koscelek, Foxtrot’s mom, told The Dodo. “Foxy loves kids and will sit real still when they come to pet her, almost as though she knows they are little.”
When it’s hot, Foxtrot likes to spend her days sitting on the cool floor of the garage or under the shade of the trees in her backyard.
That’s how she met a little toad named Frogo.
“One night, we were sitting outside and a toad came hopping by, and Foxy jumped up and ran toward it. I thought, ‘Oh no, she is gonna hurt it,’” Koscelek said. “But she just stood there looking at the toad for a long while. Eventually, Foxy laid down beside it and they just sat there!”
Koscelek isn’t sure how Foxtrot and the toad were able to communicate, but there seemed to be some sort of understanding between the two animals.
When her new companion came back the following evening, Foxtrot was prepared and waiting in the garage. In the toad’s presence, Koscelek saw that her dog appeared to be considerably more at ease, instantly approaching him and reclining down.
Foxy is almost 100 pounds heavier than her best pal, who barely registers on the scale. Foxtrot and Frogo maintained their exclusive encounters for a few more evenings.
After that, Frogo stopped dropping around, and Koscelek could see that Foxtrot was missing him. Fortunately, Frogo hadn’t overlooked his large pal.
According to Koscelek, “Foxy started lying on the rocks and waited forever.” “After a few evenings, Foxy noticed the toad on the road. She immediately approached him, lay down next to him, and put her paw on him.
Being reunited made Foxtrot and Frogo stay together for a considerable amount of time that evening.
Now, the two unlikely pals spend every night together. “Usually, it’s around 10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. when the toad comes out,” Koscelek said. “It really seems as though Foxy wants nothing more than to just sit there and enjoy the night air with her new friend.”
“It’s been so fun to watch,” she added.
