After taking her pup to day care, a dog owner received a report card, its content has melted hearts among social media users.
In a Threads post shared on Tuesday under the username @iamalisontoney, the poster shared a picture of her pup while at day care, socializing with other pups and just having the best time of his life.
“My dog went to day care today. I’m reading his report card and I’m cracking up” the explains in the caption, “I forgot to mention it was his (Foe) first time at day care! And it looks like he made a friend. Foe is the tan and black Airedale terrier!”
Along with the picture of her pup, she also has shared his report card, which she still can’t get over.
“Foe had an incredibly happy first day with us and came in bursting with high energy, keeping that enthusiasm going all day long. He is as energetic as they come in the best way possible, diving straight into the day care environment with excitement and a bid, friendly attitude,” the report card reads.
“Socially, Foe was very friendly and comfortable with the group, moving confidently among the other dogs. He showed no hesitation joining in on the fun and thrived in the busy day care setting, happily matching the energy around him and clearly loving every moment.”
The day care workers went on to describe how well he adjusted to the new environment despite it being his first day, and he they think of him as a wonderful addition to their “day care family.”
His demeanor was described as “superstar pup, charming, high-energy, confident, friendly, enthusiastic, sociable, and goofy,” among other things.
Foe immediately loved being at day care, but many dogs don’t feel the same, and while some may learn to like to with time, others, especially those who struggle with social interactions, may never like it. But how do you know when dogs don’t like day care?
VetStreet explains that doggy day care can benefit some pets, but isn’t right for every dog. It’s most suitable for outgoing, playful dogs with high exercise needs who enjoy social interaction, but it isn’t a solution for dogs with poor social skills or fear of other dogs, as it can worsen those issues.
Owners of reluctant dogs might consider other exercise options like walks, fetch, or hiring someone to help. Even for good candidates, choosing a quality facility matters: visit more than once, get referrals, and look for a clean, welcoming place with staff who genuinely enjoy dogs.
A reputable day care will assess each dog’s fit with the group and may decline dogs who aren’t suited. If accepted, you’ll need to provide proof of vaccinations, contact details, and vet information.
Many facilities also require dogs to be spayed or neutered and closely supervised during play to reduce fights and keep dogs safe.
The post quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 12,100 likes and 179 comments on the platform.
One user, Runawaywind, commented: “I’ll never forget someone describing Airedales as the clowns of the dog world. What an absolute cutie pie.”
Skelsbiz said: “As a teacher of children….man, this report carder works hard!”
Iampurejeanius added: “Daycare was such a game changer for our pup! Burning off that extra energy and she listens so well now. Just needed an outlet. Good luck, Foe!”
