My First Meet & Greet Walk with Teddy 🐾
Today was my very first meet and greet walk — and I got to spend it with a big softie called Teddy. He’s a 4-year-old mix between a German Shepherd and a Mastiff, and he weighs around 8 stone, but honestly, he’s just a giant teddy bear (the name fits perfectly).
We met at his local park and set off for a nice 45-minute walk. The weather was just right and Teddy was in a great mood from the start. He walks really well on the lead — calm, steady, and always checking in. You can tell he’s used to being around people because he just lights up whenever someone walks by.
There were a few moments when he stopped to sniff or watch what was going on, but that’s part of his charm — curious but never pulling or rushing. I found myself smiling the whole time; it’s hard not to when you’re with a dog like Teddy.
By the end of the walk, I felt really relaxed. It was a great first meet and greet, and I’m already looking forward to walking with him again. Teddy’s got that calm energy that just makes the whole experience enjoyable.
