A special puppy and his rainbow tunnel of love
By Jennifer Stoeckl, MAT - Dire Wolf Project CEO, Oct. 8, 2024
Little Camaro, one of the light silver American Dirus puppies from the Muscle Car litter, approached the rainbow tunnel.
His body quivered with the kind of adorable uncertainty that only a young puppy could display.
His tiny nose twitched as he sniffed the sides.
His bright eyes widened as he looked up, down, and all around.
It was as if he was trying to figure out just what this colorful thing was doing in his world.
He gave the fabric a tentative nibble.
NOM. NOM. NOM.
After a thorough investigation, Camaro finally decided to give it a go.
He stepped inside the tunnel.
His tail wagged slowly at first, as if testing the waters.
With each little step, his confidence grew.
By the time he popped out the other side, his tail wagged at full speed, like a tiny furry propeller.
He was so proud of himself!
With a gleam of excitement in his eyes, his body seemed to say,
“Wow! What a fun new thing.
Thank you for sharing it with me!”
But Camaro’s adventure was just beginning.
It was another puppy’s turn to take a go at the tunnel, so Camaro sat to the side.
His fluffy tail thumped happily as he watched.
You could almost see the gears turning in his head.
This tunnel thing was quite the discovery!
While we were busy helping a sibling balance on the wobble board, Camaro saw his chance.
He trotted back to the tunnel, his tiny paws padding on the ground.
Without a moment's hesitation, he marched right inside the tunnel for another adventure.
No other puppy showed this level of enthusiasm for the tunnel.
And just when we thought he was done exploring, there he was again!
As we helped another puppy, Camaro decided to sneak through the rainbow tunnel for a third time!
This puppy’s playful spirit shines as brightly as his silver fur.
It was as if he found his new favorite playground.
After all the tunnel runs, wobbles, and playful explorations were over, we scooped Camaro up for a well-deserved cuddle.
He gave us the sweetest little kisses.
As if to say “thank you” for the wonderful day of discovery and fun.
Hugging him close, it was clear that this curious, confident little puppy had thoroughly enjoyed his day.
And we did too!
You can see all of the puppies from the Muscle Car litter in PART 2 of the new puppy adventures at the Dire Wolf Project.
Of all the puppies, Camaro sure does stand out as the puppy with the most love for the rainbow tunnel.
SO CUTE!
