Outdoor Stretch Session Accidentally Becomes the Ultimate Magnet for Park Dogs
When stretch therapist Sarah Mariano set up in a Dubai park, curious local pups decided their calming session was the best place to hang out.
Stretch therapist Sarah Mariano recently headed out to a public park in Dubai at sunset to guide her client Hamza, an avid soccer player, through an evening of relaxing mobility work. As she began stretching him on a mat on the grass, their serene atmosphere took an unexpected turn when a playful dog came barreling straight toward them. Rather than stopping, Mariano and Hamza welcomed the curious visitor, who happily sniffed around and settled down right next to Hamza's legs.
Seconds later, another dog bounded over, followed by another. "[E]ventually, dogs started appearing more and more, and they just got comfortable," Mariano shared with The Dodo. "I think they just really liked the calm energy and flow of the movement, and they probably felt how much our group loved dogs." Despite having an entire open lawn to play on, the furry onlookers were totally captivated by the soothing routine.
