Dog Passes Next to a Man Sitting on a Park Bench and Then Realizes It’s Her Friend She Hasn’t Seen in Almost a Year
Friends reuniting is always touching. It’s probably because true friendship knows no color, race, gender, or species… Friendships and distance are like fire and the wind. If the fire is small, the wind will blow it out. But if the fire is intense, the wind will only make it stronger. This story is the best proof.
Rave is an adorable and affectionate poodle. Last year, Kim Carino, her owner, decided to get her trained and entrusted that to her late brother’s friend. He had previous dog training experience, but most importantly, he has an incredible love for animals.
“We met with him weekly,” Carino says. “Rave adored him.” The training took place in the local park, and after one summer, Rave finally “graduated.” But she never forgot her trainer…
Ten months after the training finished, Carino and the trainer decided to meet in the park to surprise Rave. It was also a test. The friend would just sit quietly on the bench and see if Rave would recognize him.

“I wanted to see if she would know it was him. I suspected she would because she is a smart poodle,” Carino says. “When I saw the reaction she had to my brother’s friend, I had no doubt about how very special she is. It warmed my heart so.”
Seeing how much Rave enjoyed meeting her old trainer that day, they decided to make this meeting a regular occurrence.
“He's a forever friend of mine and Rave’s,” she said.
For Carino, Rave deserves nothing but the best.
“She’s the biggest gift in my life,” she says.
