Wrapped around his finger
Three pretty girls are huddled around the back of an open SUV, drinking from a case of Miller Lite before a hockey game.
Across the parking lot, a guy in gray sweats and a white baseball cap walks his teeny German Shepherd puppy.
He sees them and swaggers over, the dog trotting behind him, and the girls gather and coo softly, kneeling to pet him.
The boy scratches the back of his head. “Yeah, I found the mother right before she had the litter. Abandoned, I guess. There are seven of them.”
The girls look up at him, pouting. “Aww.”
“I took them all in, and we lost the mother right after.
“Aww.”
“I bottle-fed them all.”
“AWWWWW!“

Good man.
HA.
What a charmer.
Bullshit artist, tryin’ for a free beer.
Must be easy to be a man… wooing the other half with a canine and some maternal sensitivity.
… confession: I’d be “aw-ing” too.
That man is a genius. Other men should take note :)
LOL!
Side note:
I’m hypnotized by that girl’s dress.
I need a dog.
My last term at Pitt, my friend and I kept running into the same guy walking his smallish dog all semester. Without fail, every time we saw him, she [and by extension, we] had to go and pet the dog, even if it meant jumping out in front of a bus to do so. It got to the point where, I swear, he must have been rolling his eyes every time he saw us approaching.
He’ll be able to ride that story for *years*.
K.
Haha that guy is a slim ball… who was taking care of the other puppies and why was that one the only one that got to go out. He had to be making this up.
Tiff, that girl’s dress stole my attention, too. It reminds me of Dot Matrix from “Spaceballs.”
haha!
I think I may have been thinking that as well, Brother Anthony.
Gunnlino – Ha! For some reason, I didn’t even consider that.
amy – I doubt it. He loved it, I’m sure.
Kate – I’m sure of it.
Eww, what a perv! He reminds me of a guy I met years ago (when I was much more naive)who was walking a little fluff ball. I bent over and “ooed” and “ahh”ed and he gave me this sleazy look and said “So you like dogs eh?” and licked his lips. I immediately realized my error and walked away. Gross!
Gotta write this one down! Thanks for the tip.
OK, I’m a loser :)
Where are the other puppies? Can I have one?
Hmmm. Makes me think of the teenaged guy who walks the little chihuahua through my neighborhood. He never seems to be happy about walking such a breed. But I bet he could truly capitalize on that if he took some lessons from this fella. Can you imagine a skater-style kid walking a teeny chihuahua?
Ha! Well, yes, admittedly I would be awwing as well. That dress is incredibly metallic. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
I’m still stumbling over the opening paragraph. Miller Lite? Really?!?!
wow, that guy totally gets so much ass from that story.
classic pick up! Question for YOU. Any suggestions for a fun header? I can never make it look snappy like yours. Has to do with couture, that’s my only requisite. Can you help me???
I feel like there should be a disco ball in this picture!
Puppies are chick magnets.
Well, it was definitely a smooth move. Were you one of the girls it worked on? Haha, kidding.
Aww, how sweet. LOL, I seriously cannot stop staring at that dress.
Oh, the power of men and their dogs! I mean they are forces to be reckoned with on their own, but combined? Unstoppable!
Don’t girls understand that guys purposely use animals to manipulate them? Haven’t they seen any bad sitcoms?
Genius. Child deserves a trophy.
Too bad dogs scare the shit out of me.
I swear to God I’ve seen this trick before. I was in a bar and a guy came in with a weimaraner puppy in his arms. The girls *flocked*, all begging to hold the puppy… frequently against their cleavage. So he was able to lean in and “make sure the puppy was doing okay”.
You just have to tip your cap sometimes.
Brilliant!
Oh, goodness. Boys with puppies — they’re unstoppable.
One of my good male friends used to take his friend’s puppy walking around neighborhoods near campus and said it was a charmer for the ladies.
Looks like it’s still working. (And if I were there, I would have definitely eaten it up, too).
did their heads explode from too much cuteness?
Heh, funny. It works both ways though……I’d be charmed by a girl who was very sweet to animals also. Kindness always is cute, on both sides of the gender divide :).
