Odin whined, whimpered and BEGGED this horse to play with him. The feeling was not entirely mutual

@0xabad1dea I love how he's almost the same size as the horse
@0xabad1dea There are either two small horses or two large dogs in this picture and I can't quite tell.
@0xabad1dea in awe at the size of odin

@0xabad1dea
So my wife's 79# rottie rescue regularly asks the draft horses in a neighboring farm to play. They are never amused.

Your situation looks MUCH less ridiculous.
That horse looks like he might be considering it!

@0xabad1dea

One of my horses has been eager to play with every dog he's met. His version of "play" is treating dogs like they treat squeaky toys. The largest dog he's yet met was a bullmastiff and he didn't hesitate for a moment. He's also accustomed to working cattle and will chase even a bull if I ask him to.

I do wonder how he'd react to Odin, though given his history of chasing bulls, I suspect he wouldn't hesitate.

@0xabad1dea look at the tension in the leash and dude’s arms!
@capnhoppy we were holding the leash short because Odin would absolutely try to plow through a barbed wire fence for playtime
@0xabad1dea If you can teach him to gallop in circles, he'll be horsing around enough.
@0xabad1dea "hey, you're about my size, let's be friends!"

@0xabad1dea horse wants to play with horse. it’s natural :)

(no but seriously this just puts into perspective how huge odin is 😳)

@0xabad1dea our old weiner dog thought the neighbor's miniature horses were dogs until we introduced them. The lead mare and dog touched noses and decided right there the other was safe to ignore.
@0xabad1dea Why are you grumpy, New Friend?
@0xabad1dea πŸ˜‚ 😍 πŸ˜€
@0xabad1dea I always suspected that Odin was actually a horse cleverly disguised as a dog, now I finally has proof.
@0xabad1dea sorry which one is the horse?
@0xabad1dea Aww. That's really cute. <3
