Animals can become confused about their identity at times. Sometimes an animal will behave differently from its own kind. It’s always interesting to witness or hear about a rare occurrence like this. With that in mind, the following story is an excellent example of such a scenario.
Doug, the dog, lived a life that wasn’t considered ideal. Doug was found abandoned on the street when he was just a puppy. Luckily, he was fortunate to find a place to call home with some unlikely friends.
Doug has habits that most would consider odd but in an entertaining way. In his mind, he is a horse and would even do things that horses would do. He would munch on hay and eat bran marshes without any second thoughts.
Cami Jendrzejewski, the owner, lives and works at the Orange County Fairgrounds, a place full of horses. Hence, Doug gets to interact with horses and ponies frequently. He was raised in that place, so it was understandable why he’d choose to do activities that horses would.
When it comes to Doug’s equine companions, he is particularly close to a horse named Nigel. Doug was able to assist the anxious horse in becoming acclimated to his new surroundings by providing him with support. From the moment the two animals encountered each other, they hit it off and have been inseparable ever since.
The best thing about Doug, according to Cami, is that he’s never unhappy. Every day is a wonderful day for him, a reason why he manages to make anyone smile. Because of that, Cami views Doug as her best friend and soul mate.
When Cami brought Doug in, they had an instant and deep connection. That connection never wavered, as Doug was there for Cami when things were hard. She would never have this type of connection with anyone else; it’s truly special.
