Jenny, a Golden Retriever puppy, is training to be a service dog through Warrior Canine Connection. The program trains Golden and Labrador Retrievers and places them with injured veterans. However, these hard-working puppies don’t get placed with a veteran until they turn 2 years old. Until then, dogs like Jenny are placed in homes to be trained and socialized.
Jenny’s temporary family decided to treat the pup with a trip to the beach, and like any Golden Retriever, she had a blast splashing in the waves and digging in the sand.
According to a post on Jenny’s official Facebook page: “I had the best day ever! I want to go to the beach everyday! I can’t believe it took Mama this long to take me for my first time. The most important thing is that it has water — and lots of it! I have a video to show you of all the fun I had in the ocean.”
Take a look at Jenny’s exciting first time at the beach for a guaranteed smile.
Overwhelmed with all the new sensations, Jenny couldn’t decide if she wanted to hold onto the shell or splash around in the water.
Before long Jenny was pouncing, and splashing like a pro.
Jenny couldn’t believe how much easier it was to dig holes in the sand instead of the backyard!
Forget staying clean! Jenny made sure to take all the sand home with her in her fur.
Jenny’s golden locks had perfect beach waves after drying out in the sun.
